Manga Time Kirara Carat

is a 4-koma manga magazine and the second magazine to be published under Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara line of manga magazines. It released on the 28th of each month starting with the November 2005 Issue (released on September 19, 2005).

Overview
Manga Time Kirara Carat started as a special edition to Manga Time Kirara with the March 2003 special issue (released on January 18, 2003). As a special edition, it ran for 15 issues before becoming an independent magazine beginning with the November 2005 (September 28, 2005 release) issue. As such, it began before Manga Time Kirara MAX's release but became independent after it's release.

Carat does not have any distinct differences from it's parent magazine, Manga Time Kirara, focusing on the feminine patterns and moe aesthetic. The magazine used to sport the catchphrase "A New Wave of Cuteness♪" before 2011.
