Wings (ウィングス, Uingusu) is a shōjo manga magazine published by Shinshokan. Published bi-monthly, it features action and fantasy manga[2] aimed at women in the age group of 16–20 years.[3] Headquartered in Tokyo, the magazine previously had the following editions namely Shinshokan South (aka South), Phantom Club, Huckleberry, Un Poco and Wings: Story; however, currently, only Un Poco and Wings:Story are still being published.
At its inception, Wings established itself as a science-fiction and fantasy magazine. Its more fantastical settings and sense of wonder helped it to stand out, and Wings began to accept stories from a diverse mix of genres. Due to its high popularity with female readers, in the mid-2010s the magazine began using the tagline "Shōjo Manga for Adults".[4]
