Morning (Japanese: モーニング, Hepburn: Mōningu) is a weekly Japanese seinen manga magazine published by Kodansha, with new issues released every Thursday. It debuted in August 1982 as Comic Morning (コミックモーニング, Komikku Mōningu), with the cover date of September 9, 1982.[8] Originally published bi-weekly, it moved to a weekly publication in April 1986.[9] The magazine later rebranded as Morning in November 1991, while still maintaining its weekly publication tradition.[10] The digital edition of the magazine is titled Weekly D Morning (週刊Dモーニング, Shūkan D Mōningu). Its sister magazines include Evening and Monthly Afternoon.

In 2006, a spin-off magazine called Monthly Morning Two (月刊モーニングtwo, Gekkan Mōningu Two) was launched (formerly bimonthly), featuring stories like Saint Young Men, under the supervision of editor-in-chief Eijiro Shimada, who was simultaneously deputy editor-in-chief of Morning.[11][12] Morning Two switched exclusively to digital release in August 2022, and publishes weekly every Thursday.[13]
