History and background
Originally billed as a special edition of Weekly Shōnen Sunday, titled Shōnen Sunday Zōkan (週刊少年サンデー 増刊, Shōnen Sandē Zōkan), it was renamed Shōnen Sunday Super (少年サンデー超, Shōnen Sandē Chō) in 1995. It is often the home of short term serials by established Shogakukan artists, as well as a place to break in new, up-and-coming manga artists. In April 2004 the magazine switched from being published monthly to bi-monthly. In March 2009, it changed back to the monthly basis.[3] In January 2012, the magazine changed its name to simply Shōnen Sunday S.[4]
