Weekly Shonen Jump

Weekly Shonen Jump is a weekly shonen manga collection published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines. There are a lot of action scenes and some comedic ones in the manga series in the magazine. 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.

Since 1968, the magazine has sold approximately 7.5 billion copies, making it the best-selling comic/manga publication. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, the magazine's circulation peaked at 6.53 million copies per week. It has a weekly circulation of more than 1.3 million copies in 2021. Weekly Shonen Jump is the source of many of the best-selling manga series.

As the journal transitioned to digital distribution, print circulation began to drop once more. This drop is consistent with other magazines in the industry. Shonen Jump Weekly has sister magazines such as Jump SQ, V Jump, Saikyo Jump, and Shonen Jump+. It also inspired a crossover media franchise that includes anime and video games that use numerous Shonen Jump characters.

Weekly Shonen Jump, in collaboration with parent company Shueisha, offers annual one-shot story challenges for new or upcoming manga artists. The best are judged by a group of judges (including previous and contemporary manga artists), and the best are granted a special award for the best of these new series.
