Weekly Jump targets young males ("Shōnen" is made of the kanji that mean 'few' and 'years', and is a Japanese word for 'boy'). It features manga with lots of action and adventure, often featuring young, male protagonists with special powers and/or abilities.
Weekly Jump was launched by Shueisha in 1968, to compete with the already-successful Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday. At its highest point in the mid 1990s, Weekly Jump had a regular circulation of over 6 million. In the last few years, its circuation is about 3 million. Weekly Jump manga titles have also been translated and redistributed in countries where the magazine itself isn't published, such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand.
