Yōnen Club ( Japanese 幼年 倶 楽 部 , Yōnen Kurabu , dt. "Children's Club ") was a Japanese manga magazine that was aimed at children and is therefore part of the Kodomo category. It was published monthly by Kōdansha from 1926 and contained a mixture of mangas , photo series, illustrated articles and illustrated serial novels. An issue was about 400 pages and sold about 950,000 copies in January 1931, which was the peak of the magazine's popularity. During the war in particular , the volume of content and sales decreased until it was discontinued in 1943. It was reissued after 1945, but was never able to build on its old success and was finally discontinued at the beginning of the 1960s. With its get-up, it had a huge impact on the post-war manga magazines.
Sister magazine was the Shōnen Club aimed at male youths and the Shōjo Club aimed at female youths .
