== Trivia ==
* The real-life Emerald's original logo that was used from it's initial Summer 2014 release was retired after Spring 2023's release, going along with the in story events of the issue's Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi manga chapter: "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.36", as pointed out by the magazine itself. In the chapter, it is decided that Ritsu Onodera will be in charge of a rebranding of the in-universe Emerald magazine. The first look at the logo was in the next issue cover preview in the Spring 2023 issue.
