	Weekly Shonen Magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite some strange censorship policies (until just recently, it was one of the only shounen magazines to forbid the depiction of female nipples), its audience tends to skew older with some more mature works and a large portion of its readership falling under the male high school or college student demographic.
		Shonen Magazine was insulated with Tezuka for about ten years because of this work.
		As a result of this, the Shonen Magazine made a comeback in October 1997, regaining its position as the leader in terms of sales.

	Weekly Shonen Jump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weekly Shonen Jump was launched by Shueisha in 1968, to compete with the already-successful Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday.

		Shonen Jump can only run titles that have appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump, so most of the titles are "boy" manga.
		Shonen Jump makes every attempt to stay true to the original format of the manga, including running the panels right to left instead of the usual left to right, as well as reversing the front and back of each issue.
		As it is, Shonen Jump is a wonderful way to enjoy manga without emptying your wallet, as well as allowing anime fans to see how their favorite series started.

	Escaflowne: The Shonen Ace Manga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Back in 1994, Kadokawa, the publisher of the comic magazine Shonen Ace wanted to print the Escaflowne manga before the television series actually aired, and so, though yet in the earliest stages of production, notes and character designs from the series were given to manga artist Katsu-Aki.
		In the Shonen Ace version, not only is Hitomi now a long haired and beautiful, curvy girl, she's also taken on the ditzy, superhero-school-girl attitude so common to Japanese heroines.
		The Shonen Ace manga is quite definitely boy oriented, to the point that it really detracts from the story and much of it seems very gratuitous but it does have some redeeming plot twists.

	Shonen Jump, the ultimate comic art
		Shonen Jump is launching in November through a partnership of Shueisha, publisher of the Japanese edition and the largest manga purveyor in the world, and Viz Communications, the leading U.S. producer of manga and anime, the film version of manga, seen in movies such as "Akira" and "Princess Mononoke."
		Shonen Jump--the first word of whose title has connotations in Japanese culture of courageous boyhood adventures--will offer a hybrid format.
		Horibuchi says that Shonen Jump is already in negotiations with the Cartoon Network to bring the more popular manga titles over to the U.S. as series.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Manga Banzai! Jason Thompson & John Baroody talk 'Shonen Jump' success
		While the success of "Shonen Jump" in America would make one think that Viz and Thompson couldn't have made better choices, the editor explains that he had a lot of series to choose from and that one series wasn't picked till the end.
		Keeping in mind that the magazine is suggested for ages 13 and up, we're aiming for a similar age group of mostly teenagers, but we don't think there's any upper cut-off point at which it won't be enjoyable.
		The first issue of "Shonen Jump" sold over 200,000 copies and that's a number not seen often in the American comic book industry, which would imply that the series is at the very least, attracting some new readers.

	Shônen Manga article by P. Duffield
		Since shonen manga anthologies tend to be a publisher's best-selling collection, the excess of advertising is understandable, especially when it comes to promoting the company's other publications.
		Shonen Jump was the only anthology to have color introductions to several stories.
		Considering Shonen Magazine has been home to such manly sports classics as Ashita no Joe, Kyojin (long o) no Hoshi (Star of the Giants), and Offside, there is certainly a historic precedent for their current selection.

		Among these are the first recordings that U.S. Musicians touring in Japan discovered, which brought Shonen Knife to the U.S.A. to play in front of enthusiastic new fans, and also their first albums that were released here.
		With Shonen Knife set to return to the U.S. in March 2005 for a new tour, we can reevaluate the possibility of reopening the fan club for membership again in time.

	Look, Up in the Sky! - TIME Asia Magazine, Feb. 24, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Before Shonen Jump, no one had thought to export translated versions of Japanese manga to the U.S. mass market, despite the fact that the genre—characterized by its fanciful stories and earnest, teardrop-faced heroes—has been a favorite in Japan for decades.
		It may have helped that Weekly Shonen Jump's Japanese circulation has declined by half, to about 3.4 million, since the mid-1990s, and the company was looking for new markets.
		Shonen Jump is up against the tried-and-true formula of American comics, which are traditionally based on red-blooded superheroes triumphing over evil in 36 pages or less.

		One of the pioneers of the fat shukan manga (weeklies), along with Shonen Sunday, Shonen Magazine debuted in 1959 and is still one of the most popular boy's manga (shonen means young boy).
		As well as the manga stories and advertisements, the magazine has full-color photo spreads of a couple of teenage bimbos, usually in bikinis and with a contact address for fan-mail.
		In order to compete with the already successful Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday, Jump concentrated on hiring and hanging onto talented but as yet undiscovered cartoonists and keeping a close eye on what its readers wanted, through surveys and polls.

		"We thought it was very necessary for the magazine to really reflect and reinforce and even define this new lifestyle that's emerging in the U.S.," says Rick Bauer, marketing director of Viz Communications, which markets the American version of Shonen Jump.
		That makes the magazine groundbreaking, says Susan Napier, a Japanese culture professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
		The magazine aims for a mainstream American market and is published in English, but it reads Japanese style -- back to front, right to left.

	The Occidental Tourist: Woman Seeks Manga
		Before that point, girls' magazines were populated largely by illustrated romance novelettes, but the success of this strip encouraged other artists to seek this demographic and the first generation of shojo manga were born.
		In 1959, Kodansha introduced the first weekly manga magazine, SHONEN MAGAZINE, and the effect was electrifying throughout the industry, but, as it would turn out, would prove doubly so for the future of shojo.
		While most of the genres available to shonen manga readers were still present, at least in their essence, the method and, indeed, even the purpose of manga was completely altered by this sudden and unabashed expression of femininity into the most popular of Japanese media.

		Ogishima-sensei's drawing style is an interesting blend between shôjo and shônen, but her sense of humor and storytelling is definitely geared towards the boys.
		The latest incarnation was titled "Good Kiss Version 2.0" was indistinguishable from the first version, so it made us wonder why she even bothered to "create" a new series.
		Waaaaay back in February 1998, we reported on a more lighthearted series by Watase Yû, author of "Ayashi no Ceres" and "Fushigi Yûgi", titled "Appare Jipang!" If you are fan of Watase-sensei's art and humor, but can do without some of the angst that tends to run through most of her long series.
