Masuda Kōsuke Gekijō: Gag Manga Biyori (Japanese: 増田こうすけ劇場 ギャグマンガ日和, Hepburn: Masuda Kōsuke Gekijō Gyagu Manga Biyori, "Kosuke Masuda Theater: Good Day for Gag Manga"), or simply known as Gag Manga Biyori, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kosuke Masuda. It started in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Jump in the January 2000 issue. The magazine ceased publication in June 2007, and the series was transferred to the then-brand new magazine Jump Square in November of the same year, where it was published until November 2014. Shueisha collected its chapters in fifteen tankōbon volumes. The manga continued in Jump Square, under the title Gag Manga Biyori GB, in December 2014. Gag Manga Biyori features a hyperactive, random, and nonsensical style that revolves around various plots and characters throughout. Its first anime adaptation was a short film animated by Toei as part of Jump Festa in 2002. The first anime series and the sequel were produced by Artland, while the third and fourth sequel were produced by Studio Deen, selecting stories from the manga. Most episodes are five minutes long.
