Weekly Shonen Jump

Weekly Shonen Jump (週刊少年ジャンプ) is a weekly comic magazine published in Japan. Commonly referred to as Weekly Jump, it contains many manga titles targeted at boys, including a chapter and some color spreads each week. There are many other weekly magazines featuring manga, all published by Shueisha, including Young Jump and Monthly Jump.

Manga
Weekly Shonen Jump publishes a chapter of each manga featured each week on Monday. Many of these manga are very popular, and commonly become anime, some even going on to be large, popular anime series, such as One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Toriko, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Rurouni Kenshin. Scanlators usually scan these by about Wednesday in the U.S. Paper quality is not too good in Weekly Shonen Jump as it's generally compromised of at least 85% recycled fibre, usually being a yellowish or grayish color. Usually it costs about 260 yen (approx. US$2.11) per issue and compromises of about 400 pages.

Most of the manga chapters are subsequently released in tankobon volumes every 3 to 4 months, with higher quality printing materials and sometimes edited parts of the chapter.

Rankings
Every week, rankings of the manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump are posted. Those rankings are voted by fans, and refer to the chapter published seven weeks prior to the issue of the week.
