Behind the scenes of Weekly Shonen Jump, home of popular manga series NARUTO, ONE PIECE, DRAGON BALL, CAPTAIN TSUBASA, KOCHIKAME and so many more, where I'll talk with the editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano and Shuhei Hosono.
When publisher Shueisha asked me if I'd like to learn more about the manga industry and their amazing 50 years of history, I JUMP'ed at the chance! This is an exclusive inside look at Japan's most well known manga weekly.

What makes manga so culturally important to Japan?
How does one become a manga artist?
What is it like being one the world's top manga artist?

SHONEN JUMP LEGENDS interviewed:
★ 秋本 治 Osamu AKIMOTO (Kochikame series)
★ 嶋田 隆司 Takashi SHIMADA (Yudetamago | Kinnikuman series)
★ 中井 義則 Yoshinori NAKAI (Yudetamago | Kinnikuman series)
★ 高橋 陽一 Yoichi TAKAHASHI (Captain Tsubasa series)

The manga culture here moves fast! It’s competitive, almost like all out war! Artists want to be the best and that creates amazing content each week. The winner are the fans who are left wanting more after reading the 400-500 pages of manga series inside.

SHONEN JUMP is targeted to boys but the audience is much wider these days, especially online at Shonen Jump Plus.
