History

Margaret was first launched as a weekly manga magazine in May 1963.^[6]^[7] It is Shueisha's second-oldest active publication.^[8] The magazine was known as Weekly Margaret (週刊マーガレット) until 1998, when it was renamed to Margaret and moved to a semi-monthly publication schedule,^[4] with issues released on the 5th and 20th of each month.

When manga serialized in Margaret are collected into tankōbon volumes, they are published under the Margaret Comics imprint. Series from sister magazine Bessatsu Margaret are also published under the Margaret Comics imprint. Margaret's other sister magazine, The Margaret, was published quarterly until its disbandment in 2023.^[9]^[10]

In 2009, the circulation was 154,584.^[11] However, the circulation dropped to 95,044 in 2010.^[12] The publisher reported its average circulation was 16,000 as of February 2022 and 11,000 as of December 2023. As of 2016, the magazine is also published online.^[13]

Margaret's target demographic is middle school and high school girls, as well as young adult women.^[8] Based on a survey conducted by Shueisha in 2023, the majority of Margaret's readership is teenagers, with 21.6% of readers aged 10–14, 30.0% aged 15–19, and 17.6% aged 20–24.^[14]
