According to Japan Magazine Publishers Association (JMPA), its current circulation is about 2 million copies, which is less than one-third of its peak of 6.53 million in 1995.
The top-selling Japanese manga magazine was established as a bi-weekly magazine in 1968 and then went to weekly in the following year.
Shueisha today launched an official website and Twitter for the upcoming three-part 50th anniversary exhibition for its signature manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump to reveal more details including the 63 titles for its first selection.
