Weekly Young Jump
Japanese manga magazine
Weekly Young Jump (Japanese: 週刊ヤングジャンプ, Hepburn: Shūkan Yangu Janpu) is a Japanese seinen manga magazine published by Shueisha. Launched in 1979, it is published under Shueisha's Jump line of magazines. The chapters of series that run in Weekly Young Jump are collected and published in tankōbon volumes under the "Young Jump Comics" imprint every four months. Many of the featured series are known to contain heavy violence and a fair amount of sexual content. The magazine is headquartered in Tokyo.
01History
Young Jump was launched in May 1979 as a biweekly magazine, and switched to a weekly release schedule in 1981. The "young" in its name denotes its target demographic as a seinen manga magazine, aimed at young adult men. In 2008, an offshoot issue similar to Monthly Shōnen Jump was released called Monthly Young Jump; the magazine was rebranded as Miracle Jump in 2011, and was suspended in 2017.
A spin-off website, titled Tonari no Young Jump (となりのヤングジャンプ, Tonari no Yangu Janpu), debuted on June 14, 2012, starting with Yusuke Murata's remake of One's series One-Punch Man.
Beginning with Bungo: Unreal on October 9, 2025, Shueisha announced that every new manga series launched in Weekly Young Jump would receive a simultaneous worldwide digital release on their Manga Plus platform.
