nihongo|"Kerokero Ace"|ケロケロエース|Kerokero Ēsu is a Japanese shōnen manga magazine published in Japan by Kadokawa Shoten. The magazine is aimed at boys between 9 to 13 years old.

Focus

The magazine is focused primarily on the series "Sgt. Frog", containing features, promotions and a new manga. The manga sees Keroro and his allies sent to an alien world which resembles feudal Japan. They are tasked with attempting to bring order to it.

The magazine's secondary focus is Gundam. Similar to "Sgt. Frog", the magazine contains much promotion of its related merchandise and four of the comics running are Gundam titles. These include an adaptation of the television series Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the latest chapter of SD Gundam and GPEX Gunpla Extreme, in which humans use special gadgets to shrink down and turn Gundam models into working miniature mecha.

The remainder of titles printed in the magazine alternate between comedy adventure gag comics and further promotional tie ins.
