History
V-Jump began with three issues in a smaller, thicker format on a (roughly) half-yearly schedule released in November 1990, June 1991, and November 1991.
This was followed by an additional four-issue preview/test run in November 1992, February 1993, March 1993, and April 1993.
The inaugural issue of the regular monthly run — the July 1993 issue — was released in May 1993.
Kazuhiko Torishima served as V-Jump's editor-in-chief from 1993 until 1996, at which point he returned to Weekly Shōnen Jump to serve as its new editor-in-chief.[1] Akio Iyoku serves as the magazine's current editor-in-chief.[2]
