When first published, Comic LO helped trigger a small boom in ''lolicon'' manga in the early 2000s. Comic LO was originally an extra issue of other

magazines, but it became independent on December 21, 2005. On May 22, 2010, the publisher put out an announcement to stop the illegal uploading of the magazine on its official website. In December, 2015 a glimpse of the standards of ''Comic LO'' were brought forward regarding the artwork. Amagappa Shōjogun, a manga artist for the magazine was told to draw more girls that look like 9 year olds as 8 was too young. The cover illustrations are by Takamichi. Volume 200 was published on September 19, 2020.
