In 2009, the magazine celebrated its 35th anniversary and collaborated with Yahoo! Japan Comic, which digitally distributes the magazine's serialized manga. Glass Mask by Suzue Miuchi and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e by Hisaya Nakajō are among the 235 titles available to be read online.[5] To commemorate the magazine's anniversary, there was an internet radio broadcast streaming at Yahoo! Japan for an hour and a half. Suzue Miuchi was the guest in the second episode of the radio show, broadcast on May 4, 2009.[6]
In 2020, it was announced that various issues will be delayed or combined due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
