Jump (magazine line)
Jump (ジャンプ Janpu) sometimes stylized JUMP, is a line of manga magazines created by Shueisha. The origin of the name is unknown. The Jump magazines are intended for the male audience, although the Weekly ShÅnen Jump magazine has also been popular to the female demographic.[1]
History
In 1949, Shueisha got into the business of making manga magazines the first being Omoshiro Book.[2] In 1951, Shueisha created a female version of that anthology entitled ShÅjo Book.[3] ShÅjo Book led to the publication of the highly successful ShÅjo manga magazine: Ribon.[3] Omoshiro Book went out of print and Shueisha decided to make another male version of their successful ShÅjo Book to even it out and made the magazine ShÅnen Book.[3] In the middle of ShÅnen Book's publication, ShÅnen Jump began its run (at the time was a Semiweekly magazine and had no "Weekly").[4] ShÅnen Book ended when ShÅnen Jump became a Weekly magazine correctly changing its name to Weekly ShÅnen Jump.[4] In 1969 a special issue called Bessatsu ShÅnen Jump took ShÅnen Book's place.[4] In addition to the success of Weekly ShÅnen Jump, Shueisha created a Seinen version of the magazine in 1979, called Young Jump (now Weekly Young Jump).[5] Bessatsu ShÅnen Jump, later got renamed Monthly ShÅnen Jump and became a magazine of its own.[4] The seasonal issues of Weekly ShÅnen Jump are now called Akamaru Jump. In 1985, Shueisha started the publication of two business related manga magazines; a salaryman Jump magazine called Business Jump and an office lady manga magazine called Office You,[5] also in 1988 started the publication of Super Jump.[6] Many other Seinen related Jump magazines, started as spin-off issues of the Weekly Young Jump magazine.[5] In 1993, Shueisha announced and released the video game/manga magazine V Jump alongside the Jump light novel line Jump j-Books.[6] In 2003 Shogakukan's Viz Media released an English version of Weekly ShÅnen Jump called Shonen Jump.[7] Monthly ShÅnen Jump discontinued in 2007 and was replaced with the Jump SQ. magazine, four series from the magazine were moved.[8] In addition to the Jump SQ. anthology, a spin-off issue was created, called Jump SQ.II (Second).[9] SaikyÅ Jump was started on December 3, 2010, with close ties to Weekly ShÅnen Jump and V Jump.[10]
