Monthly Gundam Ace (月刊ガンダムエース Gekkan Gandamu Eesu?, also known as Monthly Gundam A) is a monthly Japanese shōnen manga magazine published by Kadokawa, largely focusing on the Gundam franchise.
Overview[]
Originally titled Gundam Ace (ガンダムエース Gandamu Eesu?, or Gundam A), it was published quarterly from No.001 to 004 as an extra edition of the Newtype.com (ニュータイプドットコム?) magazine. From No.005 it dropped the Newtype.com branding and switched to bi-monthly publication. It became a monthly publication (recieving its current name) with No.010.
