History

In July 2011, Shueisha announced they would be merging their seinen manga magazines ''

'' and '' Super Jump'' into a single biweekly magazine that fall. They cited the "changing environment for seinen manga and the changing tastes of readers" as their reason for the decision. Targeted at "liberated adults," ''Grand Jump'' is published twice a month in a black and white saddle-stapled format, each issue running about 300 pages. The initial series at launch included 8 serializations carried over from ''Business Jump'' as well as 3 from ''Super Jump'', with several new titles beginning. A monthly sister magazine called was also launched, serializing the remaining ''Business Jump'' and ''Super Jump'' series. Certain manga, such as ''Amai Siekatsu'' and ''Uramiya Honpo Reboot'', were rebranded as ''Amai Siekatsu: Second Season'' and ''Uramiya Honpo Revenge''. A few titles, including ''Mankitsu'' and Kei Toume's ''Sing Yesterday for Me'', only appear in the magazine monthly. After appearing only in the first issue, cooking manga ''Dashi Master'' was put on indefinite hiatus as Shueisha began investigating claims that the manga had plagiarized images of food found on Google Images. A recent sequel to Motomiya Hiroshi's ''Ore no Sora'' was also carried over from ''Business Jump'', and ended in ''Grand Jump'' in early Spring of 2012. In early summer of the same year, the magazine began serializing another title of Hiroshi's, his fourth installment in the ''Otokogi'' series. Starting around issue 13 of 2012, ''My Night is as Beautiful as your Noon'', one of the series launched with the start of the magazine, was moved from the magazine to join a group of several titles serialized exclusively online through ''Grand Jumps website. ''Grand Jump'' has published several oneshots, including two spinoffs of famed artist Go Nagai's ''
