Simultaneous English translations won’t be available to readers in Japan, South Korea, or China, since those countries are serviced by Shonen Jump +, not Manga Plus, nor will there be simultaneous English versions for indies titles hosted on Shonen Jump +.
Shonen Jump wants fans all over the world to share the excitement of their favorites series at the same time.
Manga Plus might be just about the most generic name possible for a digital manga service, but you don’t need a snappy moniker when you’re the international version of Shonen Jump +, which is itself the digital version of publisher Shueisha’s Shonen Jump, the biggest manga magazine there is.
At this week’s Jump no Mirai (“Future of Jump”) 2022 event, Shueisha announced that starting in 2023, it will be aiming to publish English translations of all new original Shonen Jump + serializations simultaneously with their Japanese versions.
