Shonen Jump, officially stylized SHONEN JUMP and abbreviated SJ, was a shōnen manga anthology published in North America by Viz Media. It debuted in November 2002 with the first issue having a January 2003 cover date. Based on Shueisha 's popular Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, Shonen Jump was retooled for English readers and the American audience, including changing it from a weekly.. All the volumes (except v.36) originally came out under Shonen Jump Advanced, but Viz has since dropped that labeling. It was supposed to separate content that was meant for a slightly older audience.
Whats the difference with the Shonen Jump Advanced version? Im currently writing a script for a video on the Hunter x Hunter series and through research I found out that theres a version of the series printed as part of the Shonen Jump Advanced line and were/are explicitly targeted at "older teens and young adults"..
