  Weekly Shonen Jump
Weekly Shonen Jump (Shukan Shonen Jump in Japan), with a circulation of over 3 million, is one of the longest-running, weekly manga compilations in Japan.
Weekly Shonen Jump was launched by Shueisha in 1968, to compete with the already-successful Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday.
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, like Rurouni Kenshin, Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya), Ultimate M.U.S.C.L.E. Whistle, The Prince of Tennis, and Bleach.
