History and Content
Manga Life was originally known for an abundance of off-color humor. By the mid to late 1980s, however, the number of dirty jokes had significantly decreased as the magazine changed its target demographic from only middle-aged salarymen to also include younger males in their late 20s and early 30s, as well as readers of josei manga and dōjinshi. The current magazine includes a broad mix of manga, including those with anime tie-ins. Manga Life is one of the magazines which has changed the perception of yonkoma manga and manga artists as it has brought them more into the mainstream with its broad target audience.
In the January issue every year, Mineo Maya has a guest manga appearance with his Nemuranai Eve series.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or content:
“We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Thoughts tending to content flatter themselves
That they are not the first of fortune’s slaves,
Nor shall not be the last, like silly beggars
Who, sitting in the stocks, refuge their shame
That many have and others must sit there,
And in this thought they find a kind of ease.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
