Manga Life (まんがライフ, Manga Raifu) was a manga magazine published monthly by Takeshobo in Japan since the November 1984 issue (published in October 1984). Its original title was Gag da (ギャグダ, Gyagu da), and the change to Manga Life was made to better compete with Manga Time, a rival magazine published by Houbunsha. Most of the series appearing in the magazine used the yonkoma format. The magazine is released monthly on the 17th, though it sometime appeared on shelves slightly before or after that, depending on the speed of actual distribution. Manga Life was published in B5 size, and its Japanese magazine code was 18635.
Manga Club merged with Manga Life in April 2020.[1] Manga Life suspended publication on July 27, 2022.[2] The majority of its titles moved to Manga Life Original.
