Weekly Young Jump

Weekly Young Jump is a Japanese seinen manga magazine published by Shueisha. It is definitely one of the best Japanese manga magazines. It was first published in 1979 as part of Shueisha's Jump magazine brand. Every four months, the chapters of the series in Weekly Young Jump are collected and released in Tankobon volumes under the "Young Jump Comics" name.

Young Jump began as a monthly magazine in May 1979 and converted to a weekly distribution schedule in 1981. Young Jump is aimed at an older male audience than Shonen Jump, specifically young adults and businessmen. That’s why many of its best-known series can be very detailed, based deeply on historical details, or, on the other end of the spectrum, quite violent or sexual.

Young Jump is significantly friendlier to new series than its Shonen cousin, allowing them far more of an opportunity to succeed, resulting in a higher average length of serials. Young Jump has multiple titles that lasted for a few dozen volumes despite not having the same global popularity as Kingdom, Gantz, and Salaryman Kintar, which are among the best-selling seinen franchises of all time.

Weekly Young Jump, one of Shueisha's most successful franchises, produced a number of spin-off magazines, the majority of which have only lasted a few years. Some spin-offs are Miracle Jump, Jump X, Aoharu, Ultra Jump, and Monthly Young Jump.
