{{Nihongo|Weekly Shōnen Sunday|週刊少年サンデー|Shūkan Shōnen Sandē|lead=yes}} is a weekly Shōnen manga magazine published in Japan by Shogakukan since March 1959. Contrary to its title, Weekly Shōnen Sunday issues are released on Wednesdays. Weekly Shōnen Sunday has sold over 1.8{{nbsp}}billion copies since 1986, making it the fourth best selling manga magazine, only behind Weekly Shōnen Jump, Weekly Shōnen Magazine and Weekly Young Jump.

History

Weekly Shōnen Sunday was first published on March 17, 1959, as a response to its rival Weekly Shōnen Magazine.{{cite web|script-title=ja:週刊少年サンデー50周年記念、1959年から50年分の表紙50枚全画像を一挙公開|url=https://gigazine.net/news/20090317_sunday_50th/|website=Gigazine|access-date=March 17, 2021|language=ja|date=March 17, 2009|archive-date=May 15, 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240515220848/https://gigazine.net/news/20090317_sunday_50th/|url-status=live}} The debut issue featured Shigeo Nagashima, the star player of the Yomiuri Giants on the cover, and a congratulatory article by Isoko Hatano, a noted child psychologist.{{cn|date=February 2022}}

Despite its name, Weekly Shōnen Sunday is published on Wednesday.{{cite web|script-title=ja:週刊少年サンデー|url=http://adpocket.shogakukan.co.jp/40/index.html|website=AD Pocket|publisher=Shogakukan|access-date=March 31, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070315204625/http://adpocket.shogakukan.co.jp/40/index.html|archive-date=March 15, 2007|language=ja}}{{cite web|script-title=ja:デジタル大辞泉プラス 「週刊少年サンデー」の解説|url=https://csbs.shogakukan.co.jp/book?book_group_id=11096|website=Kotobank|publisher=Digitalio, Inc.|access-date=March 31, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923084642/https://kotobank.jp/word/週刊少年サンデー-713618|archive-date=September 23, 2023|language=ja|url-status=live}} The "Sunday" in the name was the creation of its first editor, Kiichi Toyoda, who wanted the title to be evocative of a relaxing weekend.{{cn|date=February 2022}}

File:Shonen Sunday mascot.svg Weekly Shōnen Sunday{{'}}s distinctive "pointing finger" that appears in the lower corner of every page on the left side of the magazine made its subtle debut in the 4/5 issue from 1969.{{cn|date=February 2022}} This understated feature, ever present but easily overlooked, was referenced as a plot element in 20th Century Boys. Sunday{{'}}s more noticeable mascot, a helmeted fish, debuted in the 1980s.{{cn|date=February 2022}}

Prior to the 1990s and 2000s no serial in Weekly Shōnen Sunday had run over 40 volumes, but that began to change with series such as Detective Conan, Major, Inuyasha, Karakuri Circus, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Hayate the Combat Butler, Zettai Karen Children, and Be Blues!, which maintained a high level of popularity.

In a rare event due to the closeness of the two magazines' founding dates, Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Weekly Shōnen Magazine released a special combined issue on March 19, 2008.{{cite news|title=Shōnen Sunday's 50th Anniversary|url=http://www.furinkan.com/features/articles/shonensunday50.html|publisher=Rumic World|date=13 April 2008|access-date=April 13, 2008|archive-date=October 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181009212858/http://www.furinkan.com/features/articles/shonensunday50.html|url-status=live}} In addition, other commemorative events, merchandise, and manga crossovers were planned for the following year as part of the celebrations.{{cite web|last=Loo|first=Egan|title=Shōnen Magazine Shōnen Sunday Mark 50th Anniversary|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-03-18/shonen-magazine-shonen-sunday-mark-50th-anniversary|publisher=Anime News Network|date=18 March 2008|access-date=March 22, 2008|archive-date=June 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170616100225/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-03-18/shonen-magazine-shonen-sunday-mark-50th-anniversary|url-status=live}} The book Shonen Sunday 1983 was published on July 15, 2009 to celebrate the anniversary and the magazine's heyday. It reprints manga from 1983, such as Urusei Yatsura and Touch, and has interviews with their creators as well as artists who were inspired by the series from that period, such as Gosho Aoyama.{{cite web|last=Loo|first=Egan|title=Shonen Sunday 1983 Book Honors Manga Magazine's Heyday|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-07-09/shonen-sunday-1983-book-honors-manga-magazine-heyday|publisher=Anime News Network|date=9 July 2009|access-date=March 22, 2015|archive-date=April 3, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403032428/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-07-09/shonen-sunday-1983-book-honors-manga-magazine-heyday|url-status=live}}
