Shogakukan’s 'CoroCoro Comic' is currently embroiled in a major administrative crisis following the dismissal and suspension of three top executives, including the Editor-in-Chief. The disciplinary actions were triggered by a 'duplicate publication issue' involving the legendary manga *Doraemon*, a severe editorial lapse where previously published content was erroneously reprinted, causing a significant stir within the Japanese publishing industry. This drastic move highlights the zero-tolerance policy regarding quality control for flagship titles. As the industry reacts to this leadership vacuum, fans and analysts are closely watching how Shogakukan will restructure the editorial team to prevent such oversights in the future and maintain the prestige of CoroCoro Comic, which has been a cornerstone of Japanese children's media for decades.
