Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Be Love is a Japanese monthly (bimonthly May 1982 – 2018) manga magazine targeting women published by Kodansha. It debuted in September 1980.[3] It is one of the leading manga magazines for adult women,[4][5] the second of its kind (the first being Petit Comic published by Shogakukan),[6] and was instrumental in the rising popularity of josei manga in the 1980s, which led to the creation of other magazines targeted at women such as You and Big Comic for Lady.[4] As of 2003, Be Love, like You and Jour, published stories focusing on "the reality of everyday life" experienced by its readers.[7]
