Fantasy
Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction involving Magic (supernatural), magical elements, typically set in a fictional universe and sometimes inspired by mythology and folklore. Its roots are in oral traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama. From the twentieth century, it has expanded further into various media, including film, television, graphic novels, manga, animations and video games. Fantasy is distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror fiction, horror by the respective absence of scientific or macabre themes, although these genres overlap. In popular culture, the fantasy genre predominantly features settings that emulate Earth, but with a sense of otherness. In its broadest sense, however, fantasy consists of works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians from ancient mythology, myths and legends to many recent and popular works.

Science Fiction
Science fiction (sometimes shortened to Sci-Fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, extraterrestrial life, sentient artificial intelligence, cybernetics, certain forms of immortality (like mind uploading), and the singularity. Science fiction predicted several existing inventions, such as the atomic bomb, robots, and borazon, whose names entirely match their fictional predecessors. In addition, science fiction might serve as an outlet to facilitate future scientific and technological innovations. Science fiction can trace its roots to ancient mythology. It is also related to fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction and contains many subgenres. Its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, scholars, and readers.

History The ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'' magazine started as a spin-off issue of ''Weekly Jump'' called ''Bessatsu Shōnen Jump''. The second spin-off issue was called ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'', which caught on and became its own separate independent manga magazine. Shōnen manga magazines in Japan in the 1980s focused on bishōjo characters, and ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'' stood out due to the many product and toy tie-ins it had during that period and into the 1990s. An off-shoot, ''Hobby's Jump'', was published for 16 issues from 1983 to 1988. Another spin-off ''Go!Go! Jump'' was a collaboration between its sister magazine ''Weekly Jump'' and ''Monthly Jump''; it was published in 2005 and was only published once.
