Now 50 years later, it is considered one of the three best selling shonen (demogaphy of boys aged 12 to 18) weekly manga anthology magazines in Japan (along with Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, and Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday), and arguably the most popular manga anthology magazine in the world Over these five decades, the magazine introduced some of the most popular manga series out there (at least as far as the shonen demography goes), many of which were eventually adapted into some of the most popular anime 岸ジャンプ *ぜんぶ漫画,ぜんぶ読切 くじら大吾梅本さちお 発 刊 HUdかずお 大あばれ ウチ君 ドル野郎 8月18号90yen At first the magazine would include a mix a Japanese translations of American comics (first issue notably featured the Japanese translation of Flash Gorldon), and original content by Japanese authors Most of these early series seem to be mostly forgotten, or at least completely unknown outside of Japan, with it being nearly impossible to find any info on them.
