Ultra Jump
Japanese manga magazine
Ultra Jump (Japanese: ウルトラジャンプ, Hepburn: Urutora Janpu) is a Japanese monthly seinen manga magazine published by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines. New issues are released on the 19th of each month. Originally, the magazine was a special issue of Weekly Young Jump which was first issued in 1995. On October 19, 1999, the special issue became the new monthly publication Ultra Jump. The manga titles serialized in the magazine are published in tankōbon volumes under the Young Jump Comics Ultra label.
01History
Ultra Jump started as a special issue of the seinen anthology Weekly Young Jump called Young Jump: Ultra Special Issue: Ultra Jump (ヤングジャンプ超増刊ウルトラジャンプ, Yangu Janpu Chō Zōkan Orutora Janpu), first issued in 1995 with the cover date of May 17. The magazine was split to a monthly publication in 1999, simply called "Ultra Jump", with new issues published on the 19th of each month.
On March 19, 2008, Ultra Jump released an online spin-off of the Ultra Jump magazine titled Ultra Jump Egg. It was an online manga website that mainly serialized manga not in the original Ultra Jump magazine. It has since merged back with its main magazine.
02Features
The magazine has been known for fanservice-laden fantasy and science-fiction stories aimed at young adults. Shueisha's light novel line, "Super Dash Bunko", has close ties with the Ultra Jump magazine, as Ultra Jump supports the line by creating manga adaptations of the titles. (e.g. R.O.D) One-shots from manga writers are featured regularly and are called Special One-Shot (特別読切, Tokubetsu yomikiri). Each issue includes an item featuring one or more series currently running in the magazine.
