This is a highly sought-after, historic back-issue of Monthly Sunday Gene-X (サンデーGX) published by Shogakukan: the December 2004 Issue (released November 19, 2004).1. Major Debuts, First Appearances & Pilot Chapters:
This issue is a critical "Key Issue" for collectors marking the exact starting point of two foundational, multi-year Sunday GX properties:新連載 (New Serialization Debut): Nemureru Wakusei (眠れる惑星 / Sleeping Planet) by Yōkibi (陽気婢). This issue contains Chapter 1 of the cult-classic ecchi/sci-fi seinen series which ran until 2007.
新連載 (New Serialization Debut): Seigi Keikan Monju (正義警官モンジュ / Justice Officer Monju) by Hiroki Miyashita. This marks the historic first appearance and Chapter 1 of Monju, the rogue/エリート robot police officer. The series became a mainstay staple for the magazine, running for 12 volumes until 2011.
2. Cover Appearance & Character DebutsCover Feature: Sando (山道) from Shin Angyo Onshi (新暗行御史). She is depicted in a prominent, holiday-themed Santa Claus outfit to commemorate the massive winter multimedia push for the franchise.
Promotional Cover Focus: The lower third features bold block text proclaiming (Theatrical Release Imminent Special!!). This is the ultimate peak-era cover for the title, heavily emphasizing its historical cross-border prestige.3. Historic Publishing Milestones & Limited InsertsThe Anime Milestone: This magazine acts as the primary promotional vehicle celebrating the imminent December 4, 2004 theatrical debut of the Shin Angyo Onshi film. This was monumental in publishing history as it was the first-ever full-scale joint Japan-Korea co-produced feature-length animated film. The original manhwa creators (Youn In-wan and Yang Kyung-il) were acclaimed as the definitive Korean vanguard breakout success inside the strict Japanese editorial infrastructure.
Included Key Inserts: Complete copies must retain the original "Special Reversible Poster Calendar" advertised inside the top-left starburst on the cover.
Exclusive Text Insert: Features the rare "CLAMP Newspaper - Special Extra/Out-of-Issue Edition" (CLAMP新聞出張版) pamphlet/section inside, making it an essential cross-collectible piece for dedicated CLAMP completists.4. Main Ongoing Verified Serializations In This Issue
