Core Magazine Co. Ltd. (株式会社コアマガジン?) is a Japanese publishing company focused on adult material, such as adult magazines and hentai manga. It also publishes yaoi titles, such as Kirepapa.[2] The company was established in 1985 as Shōnen Shuppansha (株式会社少年出版社?). As of 2009, it is among top 5 ero-manga publishers in Japan.[3] Core Magazine owns a bookstore chain "Core Books" (コアブックス?).

In July 2002 a special issue of Bubka magazine featured unauthorized childhood photos of several female idols, including Norika Fujiwara, Kyoko Fukada, and Natsumi Abe. A suit was started against Core Magazine for privacy violation.[4]
