Overview[edit]
Da Vinci is a book information magazine that introduces new publications, popular books and comics. The magazine also features essays by famous people, reader-submitted columns, questionnaires, special features on the relationship between the world and books from a new perspective, and a wide range of information on new paperbacks, new books, and new comics. It also includes information on approaching authors for book signings.[3]
- Although it is a literary magazine, it is subculture-oriented, actively introducing not only general novels but also manga and light novels.[4][2]
- The covers are mainly modeled after popular young actors, musicians, and celebrities, each holding the book they like best.[5]
- It is the magazine that created the manga essay genre. The magazine selected Haruko Ohtagaki and Saori Oguri, who were not yet on the scene, to create a bestseller, and "Manga Essay Theater" was born from that.[6][7]
Da Vinci was previously owned by Media Factory. Kadokawa has acquired Media Factory since then.[8]
