In most cases, the illustrations and text are both written by the same artist, and some works even have speech bubbles in the illustrations, so the work is sometimes considered a type of manga. Its origins date back to an editor at the magazine Shōnen Club who proposed a form of reading material called a "magazine ", to writer Sōji Yamakawa, and Yamakawa wrote the rough outline of the story as a to be read by oneself. The first clearly identifiable work dates from the 1930s ("Shonen Club" magazine, July 1939 issue, Senbu no yuchi (宣撫の勇士;"The Warrior of Pacification").…
