Cookie

is a Japanese shōjo manga magazine published bimonthly by Shueisha. As of 2008, the circulation was about 175,000, which by 2015 had dropped to 56,000. History Cookie is a sister magazine of Ribon. Ribon Deluxe, a quarterly magazine and another sister magazine of Ribon, had changed its title to Bouquet (ぶ〜け) in 1978. Bouquet stopped publication in March 2000. In 1996, the Ribon editing department at Shueisha began publishing a manga magazine called Ribon Teens which featured various Ribon mangaka both up-and-coming at the time and already popular, such as Ai Yazawa, Miho Obana and Mihona Fujii, as well as classic Ribon manga artists, such as Jun Hasegawa, Koi Ikeno and Aoi Hiiragi. This magazine folded in 1997. In 1999, Shueisha revived the Ribon Teens concept as a new magazine called Cookie. The former Bouquet editing department became the Cookie editing department. The editor-in-chief had previously been the editor-in-chief of Ribon. Cookie began being published monthly starting from the May 2000 issue, and switched to being published bimonthly in July 2012.
