Core Magazine

Core Magazine Co. Ltd. (株式会社コアマガジン) is a Japanese publishing company focused on adult material, such as adult magazines and hentai manga. It also publishes yaoi titles, such as Kirepapa. The company was established in 1985 as Shōnen Shuppansha. As of 2009, it is among top 5 ero-manga publishers in Japan. Core Magazine owns a bookstore chain "Core Books" (コアブックス).

In July 2002 a special issue of Bubka magazine featured unauthorized childhood photos of several female idols, including Norika Fujiwara, Kyoko Fukada, and Natsumi Abe. A suit was started against Core Magazine for privacy violation.
