{{nihongo|'''''CoroCoro Comic'''''|コロコロコミック|KoroKoro Komikku}} is a Japanese monthly [[manga magazine]] published by [[Shogakukan]];<ref>{{cite book|last = Schodt|first = Frederik L.|title = Dreamland Japan: writings on modern manga|publisher = Stone Bridge Press|year = 1996|pages = 83|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Loug6sbKTvEC|isbn = 1-880656-23-X}}</ref> established on May 15, 1977. Its main target is [[elementary school]]-aged boys. Several of its properties, like ''[[Doraemon]]'' and the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series of games, have gone on to be cultural phenomena in Japan.
The name comes from a [[Japanese sound symbolism|phenomime]] {{nihongo3||ころころ|korokoro}} which means "rolling" and also represents something spherical, fat, or small, because children supposedly like such things. The magazine is [[Paper size|A5]]-sized, about 6 cm ({{frac|2|1|4}} in) thick, and each issue is 750 pages long. ''CoroCoro Comic'' is released monthly with new issues on the 15th of each month (or earlier if the 15th falls on a weekend). ''CoroCoro Comic'' sold 400{{nbsp}}million copies as of April 2017, making it one of the [[List of best-selling comic series|best-selling comic]]/[[List of Japanese manga magazines by circulation|manga magazines]].<ref name="animeanime">{{cite news|script-title=ja:コロコロ×スカイツリーのコラボビジュアル公開、カフェメニューも明らかに|url=https://animeanime.jp/article/2017/05/04/33737.html|work=AnimeAnime.jp|date=May 4, 2017|language=ja}}</ref>
The magazine has three sisters: ''Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic'' (別冊コロコロコミック), ''CoroCoro Ichiban!'' (コロコロイチバン) and ''CoroCoro Aniki'' (コロコロアニキ). ''Bessatsu'' and ''Ichiban!'' are published bi-monthly, while ''Aniki'', which targeted an older audience, was released quarterly. On November 20, 2020, ''CoroCoro Comic'' cover designer Tariji Sasaki was recognized by ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' as the longest-running cover designer for a children's magazine.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pineda|first=Rafael Antonio|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-11-20/coro-coro-comics-cover-designer-sets-guinness-world-record/.166479|title = Coro Coro Comics Cover Designer Sets Guinness World Record|publisher = [[Anime News Network]]
