Aria was a Japanese monthly josei/shà Âjo manga magazine published by Kodansha. In April 2010 an announcement was made about plans for a new magazine; its first issue was published on July 28 of that same year. The magazine was released in size B5 paper.
In 2013, Kodansha temporarily increased Arias print count by roughly 500% to approximately 80,000 copies because of the demand for the prologue chapter of the Attack on Titan spin-off ', which was published before the serialization began. On March 27, 2018, it was announced that the magazine would cease its publication on April 28, and most its series would be moved to Kodansha's new app Palcy.
