Weekly Young Jump

is a Japanese ''seinen'' manga magazine published by Shueisha. Launched in 1979, it is published under Shueisha's ''Jump'' line of magazines. The chapters of series that run in ''Weekly Young Jump'' are collected and published in ''tankōbon'' volumes under the "Young Jump Comics" imprint every four months. Many of the featured series are known to contain heavy violence and a fair amount of sexual content. The magazine is headquartered in Tokyo.

History

''Young Jump'' was launched in May 1979 as biweekly magazine and switched to a weekly release schedule in 1981. The "young" in its name denotes its target demographic as a ''seinen'' manga magazine, aimed at young adult men. In 2008, an offshoot issue similar to ''Monthly Shōnen Jump'' was released called ''Monthly Young Jump''; the magazine was rebranded as ''Miracle Jump'' in 2011, and was suspended in 2017.
