Kadokawa to End Dragon Magazine, Launch Web Novel Magazine This Spring
The "Mekuri Mekuru" web magazine will deliver news and content on "entertainment novels" such as light novels, and will also deliver content on related entertainment topics such as anime, manga, events, music, and voice actors. More information about the new web magazine will be released at a later date. Dragon Magazine's editors stated that with the recent changes in the reading environment, they realized that the paper magazine is no longer able to fulfill its role. The magazine launched in 1988, and published its 35th anniversary issue in 2023. The magazine published writer Hajime Kanzaka and artist Rui Araizumi's Slayers light novel series, and its more recent titles include Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, You Were Experienced, I Was Not: Our Dating Story, Management of a Novice Alchemist, Spy Classroom, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, and Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor.Sources: Kimirano website, Fantasia Bunko's X/Twitter account via Otakomu
