Weekly Shonen Jump FAQ

What is Weekly Shonen Jump?
Weekly Shonen Jump is a weekly manga publication in Japan that publishes popular shonen manga (Japanese comics for boys) like Naruto, One Piece and Bleach. In the U.S. and Canada, Weekly Shonen Jump is the English-language version of its Japanese counterpart; however, it is published digitally on a weekly basis and also includes monthly series from other Shonen Jump-related publications like Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (V-Jump) and Blue Exorcist (Jump Square). The English-language Weekly Shonen Jump is published simultaneously with Japan, meaning that when the magazine comes out in Japan, the digital issue is released on the same day in the U.S. and Canada.
