Shonen Jump was a monthly manga anthology magazine published in America by Viz adopting the original Shōnen Jump name and branding from Shueisha in Japan. The magazine included supplemental news reporting and coverage of video and card games, anime, etc. The magazine launched with a special preview "Issue No. 0" in late 2002 ahead of its formal serialization launch with a January 2003 cover date, and ran consistently through its April 2012 issue.
The print magazine was succeeded by Viz's Shonen Jump Alpha online service[1], itself succeeded by a standard Weekly Shonen Jump online series[2], and itself succeeded by a "Digital Vault" online subscription.[3]
History
Viz's Pokémon manga release became the company's best-selling title following the series' boom in 1998-1999. With their newfound success and income, and simultaneously "feeling the heat" from competitors such as Tokyopop and Gutsoon! Entertainment's Raijin Comics, Viz looked to produce a children's print magazine similar to CoroCoro Comic in Japan. The company initially attempted to get the Nintendo license, though they ultimately looked at acquiring Shōnen Jump titles from Shueisha. As Viz was a branch of Shogakugan (a rival to Shueisha in Japan, despite the two ultimately being housed under the banner of a common, larger company in Japan), Viz often faced difficulties acquiring Jump titles. One of the conditions of Shueisha working with the company was for them to become an owner of Viz.[4]
Prior to launch, Viz solicited ideas for the magazine's name from its staff via email, as having their own (trademarkable) name would be one final remaining bit of individuality from Shueisha. "Manga Typhoon" was a working title at one point, though "Shonen Jump" as-is was ultimately decided shortly before launch.[4]
Leading up to the magazine's formal launch in December 2002, Viz hosted a party at Powder Deep Studios as well as a public event Chelsea Piers in New York City. In attendance were various Viz employees, Shueisha employees (including Kazuhiko Torishima), and Akira Toriyama himself.[4][5]
Jason Thompson served as the magazine's senior editor for launch and the first (#) issues. Drew Williams was hired as the magazine's secondary editor (later taking over Thompson's role as senior editor). Benjamin Wright, a designer at Viz, became the magazine's designer. A mixture of digital and analog work was done in conjunction with Shueisha's manga for the magazine's early issues, with Viz's own shift toward digital helping push Shueisha to a digital workflow.[4]
At the time of its launch, Viz still used a set team of separate translators and script rewriters on each manga series. Over the course of the magazine's launch, the process of using rewriters was phased out at Viz, with series editors taking over these responsibilities.[4]

Impact on Dragon Ball Serialization and Publication
The launch of Viz's Shonen Jump magazine marked the shift from Dragon Ball's publication in monthly "floppy" comics in March 2003.
Following the launch of the Shonen Jump print magazine, Viz began releasing collected versions of various manga series in a smaller (tankōbon-sized) format under the "Shonen Jump" brand label.
Dragon Ball & Akira Toriyama Content
Viz's Shonen Jump magazine picked up with chapter 328 in Dragon Ball's serialization at launch and ran through the end of the Cell arc with chapter 420 in the magazine's April 2005, at which point Dragon Ball became a "Graphic Novel" format-only release from Viz (releasing bimonthly beginning in June 2005 and running through the end of the series). Akira Toriyama's Sand Land also served as a launch comic and ran in its entirety during the launch year, concluding in the November 2003 issue of the magazine.
Even following Dragon Ball's serialization conclusion in the magazine, Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball maintained a large presence in the magazine. Akira Toriyama himself was regularly profiled and featured in the magazine, with interviews original and exclusive to the magazine also appearing at regular intervals. Dr. Slump was previewed in the May 2005 issue in conjunction with Viz's formal release of the series, while Neko Majin Z 5 was translated and included as a bonus in the magazine's October 2007 issue, itself a special "Dragon Ball Collector" issue with special interviews, retrospective coverage, and more. The April 2011 issue, the magazine's 100th issue overall, included Akira Toriyama and Eiichirō Oda's Cross Epoch crossover comic.
