Mystery Bonita (Japanese: (ミステリーボニータ, Hepburn: Misutarī Bonīta)) is a monthly Japanese shōjo magazine published by Akita Shoten on the sixth of each month. It was originally launched as a spin-off to the magazine Bonita, which was later merged with Mystery Bonita in 1996. Mystery Bonita was initially envisioned to serialize darker serials compared to its parent magazine,[2] featuring horror and mystery works. After the merge the magazine continued to have a focus on publishing mystery and supernatural stories.
