United States Shonen Jump

Shonen Jump, volume 1, issue 1 (English version)

In 2002, Shueisha announced a partnership with Viz Communications (now Viz Media), a purveyor of anime and manga in the United States, to distribute a monthly version of Shonen Jump in that country and Canada. The Shonen Jump issues, like the Japanese issues, are read from right to left, because if printed the other way, pictures and words would be mirror-imaged. In its first issue (January 2003), it sold almost 300,000 copies beating their old rival Raijin Comics out of business, making it the top-selling Manga book of any kind in the U.S. for that time period. Shonen Jump also runs a line of graphic novels, including those that have run in the American Shonen Jump, but also other titles that ran in the Japanese Shonen Jump but not the American version.

In the magazine's text, the U.S. Shonen Jump uses circumflexes instead of macrons to mark long vowels. The manga in the magazine doesn't always reflect this (e.g., the preview for Whistle! used macrons). In 2005, Shonen Jump adopted a policy of editing dialogue and art of serialized manga to make it more suitable for younger audiences and still appeal to older audiences as well. This policy has still received criticism from long-time readers. Manga translated by Shonen Jump that are not present in the magazine have fewer edits and are released sooner. Even more recently Shonen Jump has started focusing more heavily on Naruto even so much as releasing 5 Chapters in one book. The circumflex ( ˆ ) (often called a caret, a hat or an uppen) is a diacritic mark used in written Greek, French, Dutch, Esperanto, Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Vietnamese, Japanese romaji, Welsh, Portuguese, Italian, Afrikaans and other languages, and formerly in Turkish [citation needed].

From hot-blooded action and world-spanning adventures to dramatic sports, creepy horror, psychological drama, comedies from the sublime to the strange, even romance series. However, even among the hundreds of series run in Shonen Jump, several have stood the test of time both in their era and today. The most popular series occasionally become popular animated television series that demonstrate the same shonen ideas both in Japan and exported around the world.
