Weekly Shōnen Jump

Weekly Shōnen Jump is a weekly shōnen manga anthology published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines.

Every two to three months, tankōbon volumes under the Jump Comics label are released that contain the collected chapters of the series that appear in Weekly Shōnen Jump. It has been published continuously for a very long time; the first issue's cover date of August 1, 1968, makes it one of the oldest manga magazines.

Shueisha launched Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1968 to compete with the already popular Weekly Shōnenn Magazine (Kodansha) and Weekly Shōnen Sunday (Shogakukan). Shonen Jump quickly became one of the top-selling shonen magazines in the market by keeping a close eye on what its fans desired through surveys and polls. The New Year's issue of Shonen Jump (issues 3-4) in 1995 sold over 6.53 million copies at its peak, due in part to popular series like Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk. Furthermore, it had an average weekly circulation of nearly 1.3 million copies throughout 2021. Weekly Shonen Jump is home to several of the best-selling manga series.

The Weekly Shōnen Jump is currently serialization 22 manga titles. Hunter × Hunter and RuriDragon are now on hiatus, while the continuation of Burn the Witch has yet to be revealed.
