Moeurs ~ New Japanese Fashion Magazine As MOE As It Can Be

Moeurs 女子ファッション徹底研究 [Moeurs A Thorough Study of Women's Fashion]

The first issue of Moeurs was published in November 2011 by Gentosha Comics and it really stands out from other fashion magazines.

In the first volume, the magazine explores 10 of the major fashion genres in Japan with illustrations and articles explaining the lifestyle of the girls who follow the particular style.

The magazine gained a lot of attention from the otaku community and it is not surprising since the illustrations are very well done.

Mangakas and illustrators involved with the magazine are:

• Fujishima
• Fuzichoko
• Midori Foo
• Shima Yamamoto
• neco
• Yuuichi Kinugasa
• Hiiro
• Nardack
• pi
• ATARU
• Paseri
• Reika
• Anmi
• Yuichi Murakami
• Yoh Midorikawa
• Tetsuhiro Nabesima
• Nozomi

The publisher is considering an English version of the magazine since there are a great amount of English speaking anime/manga fans. For now, the Japanese version is available for purchase at Amazon Japan and Kinokuniya.

Even the advertisement is illustrated.
