Monthly Shōnen Ace (月刊少年エース,
Gekkan Shōnen Ēsu) is a monthly
shōnen manga magazine in Japan published by Kadokawa Shoten, started in 1994. Unlike the big
shōnen weeklies with circulation figures in the millions,
Ace is aimed at a less mainstream audience, and has a particular emphasis on
anime tie-ins. There's a fair amount of
Ecchi featured in the magazine, while only a few series are action orientated.
