Shueisha paused print on MORE, the fashion monthly it ran for 48 years

MORE, the women's fashion magazine Shueisha launched in 1977 for readers in their twenties, paused its print edition with the Autumn 2025 issue, released September 26, 2025. The announcement came without warning; the publisher said only that publication was being suspended in preparation for future developments. It had been on the newsstand for 48 years.

The writing had been visible in the frequency: once a monthly, MORE had already dropped to four issues a year with its September 2023 issue. The brand does not disappear — the regional-revitalisation project it ran becomes MORE JAPAN by Shueisha, spreading its content across the publisher's magazines, web media and social accounts. The print magazine itself simply stops.
