Dengeki G's Magazine

Dengeki G's Magazine (電撃G's magazine, Dengeki G's Magazine) is a Japanese magazine published by ASCII Media Works and sold monthly on the thirtieth that primarily focuses on the bishōjo game genre, including related media such as anime and serialized manga and light novels. The "G's" in the title stands for "Gals" and "Games". The magazine is known for hosting reader participation games whose outcome is directly influenced by the people who read the magazine; such games include Sister Princess, and Strawberry Panic!.

A special edition spin-off version called Dengeki G's Festival! is published in irregular intervals and each issue focuses on a specific bishoujo game. Four other special edition versions under the Festival! name are Dengeki G's Festival! Comic, Dengeki G's Festival! Deluxe, Dengeki G's Festival! Anime, and Dengeki Festival! Heaven. Dengeki G's Magazine's sister magazine is Dengeki Girl's Style, which publishes information on otome games, targeted towards females.

Despite the self-describing "magazine" description, the publication has over 350 pages an issue. About half of the magazine pages are colored and contain information about games or anime; the remaining pages, placed at the end of the magazine, are serialized manga series. Unlike typical Japanese publications, pages are turned from right to left for the first half of the magazine, but this is switched to the traditional left to right configuration when reading the manga series. Dengeki G's Magazine celebrated its fifteenth year of publication in 2007 and its 200th release with the October 2007 issue. The magazine ended it's publication with the December 2022 issue and moved its content to G-Channel. However, the spin-off magazine, "LoveLive! Days!" is still continuing publication.

The magazine began as Dengeki PC Engine with it's launch in 1992. It changed to Dengeki G's Engine as a result of low sales in 1996. From the August 1997 Issue, the magazine assumed it's current title: Dengeki G's Magazine. However the japanese title would change from 電撃G'sマガジン to 電撃G's magazine in 2002.

As of May 2014, most of the manga serialised in the magazine moved to Dengeki G's Comic.

Reader participation games[]

Dengeki G's Magazine often hosts reader participation games whose outcome is directly influenced by the people who read the magazine. The length of these games vary to which the poular ones can go on for years, while others end in less than a year. How long a game lasts is decided on how popular the game is among the readers and how many readers participate. At least one game has been running in the magazine since the first issue except during the time between the December 1998 and February 1999 issues when Ojōsama Express ended and Sister Princess began, and again with the November 2005 issue between when Futakoi ended and 2/3 Ai no Kyōkaisen began.
