Miss Magazine

Miss Magazine is an annual gravure idol contest which began in 1982 from Kodansha. After being discontinued for several years after, it began once again in 1996 in Weekly Young Jump, a gravure/manga publication.

Recently, Tsunku of Hello! Project fame was chosen as a judge for the 2005 contest.

Also in 2005, a futsal team was formed that took winners from past years along with 2005's winners. (See Miss Magazine (futsal).)
