Comic LO (COMICエルオー, コミックエルオー, Komikku Eru Ō), abbreviated as LO,[1] is a Japanese lolicon-focused erotic manga magazine. The magazine has been published by Akane Shinsha since the October 2002 issue released on September 20, 2002,[2] and was published irregularly until May 2004, when it became a monthly magazine. The "LO" stands for "lolita only",[3] reflecting its focus on fictional young (or young-looking) girl characters.
History
When first published, Comic LO helped trigger a small boom in lolicon manga in the early 2000s.[4]
Comic LO was originally an extra issue of other erotic magazines, but it became independent on December 21, 2005.[5] On May 22, 2010, the publisher put out an announcement to stop the illegal uploading of the magazine on its official website.[6] In December, 2015 a glimpse of the standards of Comic LO were brought forward regarding the artwork. Amagappa Shōjogun, a manga artist for the magazine was told to draw more girls that look like 9 year olds as 8 was too young.[7]
The cover illustrations are by Takamichi.[8] Volume 200 was published on September 19, 2020.[9]
