Whatever the reason, if you want to truly dive into the world of manga, then the Japanese weekly manga anthology ‘Weekly Shonen Jump’ is something that you need to know about! Many of the world’s most popular manga series have gotten their start by being distributed through Weekly Shonen Jump.

A Short Timeline of Weekly Shonen Jump

  • Shonen Jump is established in 1968 as a bimonthly anthology. In 1969 it is renamed to Weekly Shonen Jump and changed to a weekly format.
  • In 2016, the long-running manga series KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops ends after 40 years, being the longest-running young boy’s manga series. The issue of Weekly Shonen Jump that the final chapter was featured in sells out in 5 days.
  • From January to March 2017, the issue distribution amount (excluding digital versions) broke the record established in 1978, reaching over 2 million copies. In addition, a Weekly Shonen Jump Exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first issue was held three times in 2018, and a special “Reprinted Weekly Shonen Jump” was released.
  • In March 2020, as a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, elementary and junior high schools in Japan were asked to close for a month. In response, the Weekly Shonen Jump issues 1-13 for 2020 were made free to read online until the end of March.
