The September Issue of "Ribon" Marks Its 70th Anniversary! Three Major New Serializations by Popular Artists including Honoka Kinoshita Launch Simultaneously [With Comments]

The September 2025 Extra-Large Issue (on sale August 1) of the shoujo manga magazine "Ribon" has been released as a special issue commemorating its 70th anniversary. The anniversary issue has garnered much attention with the simultaneous debut of three new serializations and luxurious bonus items.

The new serializations are: "Kakete Harukaze" by Honoka Kinoshita, "Kimi ga Ai wo Shirimashu you ni" by Nao Sasaki, and "Magical Craft" by Suzu Kumano.

The first of the two luxury freebies is a set of original stickers created through a collaboration between Emi Ishikawa’s ongoing manga "Urban Myth Dissolution Center Parallel File" and the visual assets from the original game. A total of 17 special stickers are included. The second bonus is the "Serious Manga Artist Debut Set," which contains a name notebook, manuscript paper, comic pen, professional manuscript sheet, screentone, masking tape, and more—the same tools used by real manga artists—and an actual contest open for submissions.
