Super Jump

Super Jump (スーパージャンプ), is a biweekly manga anthology published by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines. Released in Japan on December 20, 1986, the magazine provides serialized chapters of various seinen manga series. The manga series are published under the Jump Comics Deluxe imprint.

History
The magazine started as a special issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump (WJ) on December 20, 1986. It later got split into its own independent bi-monthly manga anthology. It is primarily drama manga and is intended for young adult males in their early years of college. Super Jump mangaka are normally Shōnen artists from Weekly Jump, or are supported by another shōnen magazine. Some Weekly Jump series have moved with Super Jump's split, due to their higher age level (e.g. Cobra).

Very rarely Weekly Jump hands a series over to Weekly Young Jump. If it is, the manga has a much more mature audience. Shueisha (publisher of Super Jump and other Jump anthologies) is worried that if too much of the series are moved, the younger fans would be corrupted by the older, more mature series (also an issue with other major Japanese publishing companies). Business Jump, Ultra Jump, etc. are restricted from having Weekly Jump series moved into their anthologies.

On December 11, 1988 Super Jump made the special anthology; Oh Super Jump (オースーパージャンプ). The "Oh" in Oh Super Jump stands for "Otaku" (the name for an established anime and manga fan). Some series from the offshoot have also been moved to the main magazine in 2007.

Oh Super Jump
Oh Super Jump (オースーパージャンプ) is an off-shoot of the leading magazine, Super Jump. Oh Super Jump started as a special issue of the main manga magazine Super Jump on January 2004. After 2004 the magazine became a monthly publication, with many serializations. Although the magazine became a monthly it still has many one-shots in addition to the main series. The "Oh" in Oh Super Jump stands for Otaku, a name for an established anime and manga fan.
