was a Japanese monthly shōnen magazine published by Shogakukan from April 1963 until August 1969. The magazine was marketed to boys in junior high school and older, and included a manga section as well as general interest articles and information. ==Outline== ''Boys' Life'' was launched on April 1, 1963 to take the place of ''Chūgakusei no Tomo''. The first editor of the magazine, Yūnosuke Onishi, went on to be editor of ''Big Comic'' and many other magazines. The magazine included several regular features, including a life counseling column, novel reviews, discussions of popular culture topics such as aliens, androids, cryptids, the Hollow Earth hypothesis, and the Vietnam War. The editors of the magazine often travelled abroad to gather information and photographs for stories on adventures (such as cave exploration) and unexplored regions of the world as well as the indigenous peoples inhabiting them. ''Boy's Life'' also published a number of well known artists including Sanpei Shirato, creator of ''The Legend of Kamui''. The last issue of ''Boy's Life'' was the August 1, 1969 issue, and the magazine was replaced by the ''Weekly Post'', also published by Shogakukan. In 1967, Shogakukan wanted Shirato's ''The Legend of Kamui''. They planned to purchase ''Garo'', the magazine in which it was serialized, then merge it with ''Boy's Life'' into a new magazine. However, this idea was never realized because Katsuichi Nagai, the editor of ''Garo'', declined the offer. Shogakukan pursued another angle on the idea, however, and launched ''Big Comic'' in April 1968. They published , the sixth chapter of Shirato's , in full color after the first five had originally appeared in ''Boy's Life''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boy's Life (Japanese magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
