ケンの秘密部屋

I think most of the 漫画（manga）fans heard about the name of two great manga magazine, 《小学五年生》と《小学六年生.

Those 2 magazine was first published in 1922 (wow.......almost 90 years before).One of the well-known manga author worked for 《小学五年生》と《小学六年生》is 藤子不二雄（ふじこふじお）.The most success works of 藤子不二雄さん is ドラえもん (Doraemon) was also issues in this two magazine.

However, those 2 manga magazine's issue will be terminated by the Feb 2010.According to the publisher,小学館, the number of issues of this 2 magazine drops from ６３万５０００部(copies)(the peak in 1973) to current around 5万部(copies).

To suit the new generation readers' needs,小学館 would issue a brand new magazine,《GAKUMAN PLUS》（仮題）, for them.
