Monthly Classy Magazine is a Japanese women's magazine
published by Kobunsha. Its title Classy is derived from the English adjective
classy. It is a sister magazine of JJ, and has been published since 1984 by the
same company. The two magazines are closely linked, and often, models who posed
for JJ magazine in their youth will return a few years later to model for
Classy.
It is estimated that the average reader of Classy magazine is
between the age of 24 and 28. The magazine is known to be popular with office
ladies (widely known as OL in Japan). It is also famous among university
students as a magazine for Onekei fashion.
