FRIDAY

FRIDAY

FRIDAY is Kodansha’s photography-led general-interest weekly, with entertainment reporting and gravure features. Check the complete publication title when comparing releases: FRIDAY GOLD is a separately titled gravure mook rather than an ordinary dated weekly issue. Kodansha announced FRIDAY GOLD 2026 Winter for November 10, 2026, with a new Rena Kato cover and 34-page opening feature, reprinted photography featuring fifteen other women, and an included 110-minute making-of DVD. That DVD runtime describes the supplement as a whole, not Kato’s footage alone. The selected issue records below identify releases covered by PUSHIRO. Match the issue, format and included extras, then consult the publisher or seller for current availability; a promotional photograph is not necessarily finished cover artwork.

BOMB

ボム

BOMB (ボム) is One Publishing’s idol magazine line, combining photography and interviews. Identify the full release title: BOMB Premium 2026 is a separately titled 112-page mook, while a monthly issue can have regular and limited editions with different covers and supplements. For the November 2026 monthly issue, Kaho Fujishima fronts the regular edition and Rei Jonishi the limited edition; both print editions went on sale October 8. The regular edition’s digital release was announced for October 23, while the publisher lists no digital edition for the limited version. Match the edition identifier and bonus description before ordering. The selected issue records below distinguish included supplements from edition details; shop-exclusive extras and current stock must be checked with the seller.

Young Animal

ヤングアニマル

Young Animal (ヤングアニマル) is Hakusensha’s manga magazine, published on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Its issues combine serialized manga with cover, opening and closing gravure features. A front-cover appearance and a closing feature are different roles: identify the person and feature position before choosing an issue. Match the year and issue number as well as the cover date, which can differ from the on-sale date. For example, 2026 No. 20 went on sale October 9 with an October 23 cover date and an included Luna Ichinose clear file. The issue records below link the releases covered by PUSHIRO; they are a selected catalog rather than a complete back-issue archive. Check each record and the seller’s listing for that issue’s supplements, edition and availability.

Issue basics

Identify the correct issue

Use the publication name, issue identifier and actual on-sale date together. A cover date or issue label is not always the date it reached shops.

The cover subject and other featured people are separate roles. Also check whether a supplement is inside every issue, a retailer-specific purchase bonus, or a prize draw. Print and digital contents can differ.
