Comic Beam

Comic Beam (Japanese: コミックビーム, Hepburn: Komikku Bīmu) is a Japanese monthly manga magazine published by Kadokawa. It publishes seinen manga, though critics have described it as being distinct from other seinen manga magazines and described it as an alternative manga magazine instead. Titles published in the magazine include Desert Punk by Masatoshi Usune, Emma by Kaoru Mori, Wandering Son by Takako Shimura, and Thermae Romae by Mari Yamazaki.

The magazine was launched in November 1995 by ASCII as a successor to Famicomi and ASCII Comics. Enterbrain acquired the magazine in 2000, before they were merged with Kadokawa in 2013. The magazine has struggled with low sales throughout its history, though it has managed to cultivate a small audience of hardcore comics enthusiasts.
