Shōnen Big Comic (少年ビッグコミック, Shōnen Biggu Komikku) was a bi-weekly manga magazine published by Shogakukan in Japan from 1979 to 1987. From 1976 to 1979, the magazine was titled Manga-kun (マンガくん) before being renamed Shōnen Big Comics in 1979. In 1987, the magazine changed format and was renamed Weekly Young Sunday. Several of the series appearing in Shōnen Big Comic have been adapted into anime, including Esper Mami, Area 88, and Miyuki.
