Shueisha has released a statement on Friday that the monthly Japanese edition of Playboy magazine will be cancelled following its January 2009 issue, to be released in November.
Monthly Playboy was first published in Japan in 1975. The circulation of the magazine reached about 900,000 after the first issue, but has declined following the spread of the Internet and mobile phones. The magazine’s average circulation over the last six months had plunged to 55,000.
