Weekly Manga Times (週刊漫画TIMES Shūkan Manga Taimusu?) is a Japanese weekly seinen manga magazine published by Houbunsha since November 1956. The publisher claims it was Japan’s first weekly manga magazine, and the magazine is published every Friday. While its name resembles that of its sister magazine Manga Time, it does not publish yonkoma manga. The magazine is also known by the nickname Shūman (週漫?), and uses the slogan "Live Happily Once a Week!" (一週間をユカイに生きる! Isshūkan o Yukai ni Ikiru!?). Manga Times has a weekly circulation of about 380,000.
Weekly Manga Times became known as one of the big three weekly manga magazines along with Weekly Manga Goraku, published by Nihon Bungeisha, and Manga Sunday, published by Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha. From 1969 until 1980, the magazine advertised on the outfield fence at Meiji Jingu Stadium.
