Comic LO

Comic LO (COMICエルオー, Komikku Eru Ō) is a Japanese lolicon-focused erotic manga magazine. The magazine has been published by Akane Shinsha since October 2002, and was published irregularly until May 2004, when it became a monthly magazine. The "LO" stands for "lolita only",[1] reflecting its focus on fictional prepubescent, early pubescent and highly juvenile-looking girls.

History

When first published, Comic LO helped trigger a small boom in lolicon manga in the early 2000s.[2]

Comic LO was originally extra issues of other erotic magazines, but it became independent on December 21, 2005.[3] On May 22, 2010, the publisher put the announcement to stop illegal uploading on its official website.[4] In December, 2015 a glimpse of the standards of Comic LO were brought forward regarding the artwork. Amagappa Shōjogun, a manga artist for the magazine was told to draw more girls that look like 9 year olds as 8 was too young.[5]

The cover illustrations are by Takamichi.[6] Volume 143 was published on December 21, 2015.[7]
