Monthly Carol, stylized CAROL (月刊キャロル) was a shōjo manga magazine published by Kodansha starting in March 1983 and discontinued in 1984.

Overview

Carol was a sister magazine to Nakayoshi, a girls' manga magazine also published by Kodansha. Carol's catchphrase regularly printed on covers alongside the title was "A fun manga magazine for primary school girls" (小学生のたのしいまんが誌), which matches its target demographic. Its most notable works were manga adaptations of Studio Pierrot's TV anime Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel and Toei Animation's Little Memole. Later issues of Carol frequently featured complementary merchandise and promotional gifts. The magazine ceased publication with the July 1984 issue, which coincided with the end of Creamy Mami's TV airing schedule.

Several tankōbon were released by Kodansha under the CAROL label. Creamy Mami was released in two volumes and a special third volume adapting the OVA Eien no Once More. Erica Hill's Story and VIVA! Akane-chan were released in two volumes. Candy ♥ Romance and Secret Garden got single volumes.
