is a Japanese monthly seinen manga and anime magazine published by Tokuma Shoten. The magazine was originally a quarterly special issue of Animage, beginning in 1979 before switching to a monthly schedule and finally suspending publication. On November 19, 2006, the magazine began to be published again, with the first new issue coming with a DVD of the exclusive OVA Onna Tachiguishi-Retsuden directed by world famous director Mamoru Oshii. On June 19, 2018, the magazine ceased printing and became an online magazine.
Oshii's manga Kerberos & Tachiguishi was serialized in Monthly Comic Ryū in 2006 and 2007. The follow-up of 1990s famous Heavy Metal Warrior Xenon by Masaomi Kanzaki, Xenon 199X R, was also serialized in the magazine. Most famous published series was probably Legend of the Galactic Heroes by Yoshiki Tanaka and Katsumi Michihara though. Monthly Comic Ryū was launched as an "over 30-years-old readers recommended" magazine."Over 30 age. 推奨"
