History
In 1949, Shueisha got into the business of making manga magazines, the first being Omoshiro Book. In 1951, Shueisha created a female version of that anthology entitled Sh?jo Book. Sh?jo Book led to the publication of the highly successful Sh?jo manga magazine: Ribon. Omoshiro Book went out of print and Shueisha decided to make another male version of their successful Sh?jo Book to even it out and made the magazine Sh?nen Book. In the middle of Sh?nen Book's publication, Sh?nen Jump began its run (at the time was a Semiweekly magazine and had no "Weekly"). Sh?nen Book ended when Sh?nen Jump became a Weekly magazine correctly changing its name to Weekly Sh?nen Jump. In 1969 a special issue called Bessatsu Sh?nen Jump took Sh?nen Book's place. In addition to the success of Weekly Sh?nen Jump, Shueisha created a Seinen version of the magazine in 1979, called Young Jump (now Weekly Young Jump). Bessatsu Sh?nen Jump, later got renamed Monthly Sh?nen Jump and became a magazine of its own. The seasonal issues of Weekly Sh?nen Jump are now called Akamaru Jump. In 1985, Shueisha started the publication of two business related manga magazines; a salaryman Jump magazine called Business Jump and an office lady manga magazine called Office You, also in 1988 started the publication of Super Jump. Many other Seinen related Jump magazines, started as spin-off issues of the Weekly Young Jump magazine. In 1993, Shueisha announced and released the video game/manga magazine V Jump alongside the Jump light novel line Jump j-Books. In 2003 Shogakukan's Viz Media released an English version of Weekly Sh?nen Jump called Shonen Jump. Monthly Sh?nen Jump discontinued in 2007 and was replaced with the Jump SQ. magazine, four series from the magazine were moved. In addition to the Jump SQ. anthology, a spin-off issue was created, called Jump SQ.II (Second). Saiky? Jump was started on December 3, 2010, with close ties to Weekly Sh?nen Jump and V Jump.
