Lore & Background
The magazine started as a special issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump on December 20, 1986. It later got split into its own independent bi-monthly manga anthology. It was primarily drama manga and was intended for young adult males in their early years of college. Super Jump manga artists were normally artists from Weekly Jump, or were supported by another magazine. Some Weekly Jump series moved with Super Jump's split, due to their higher age level (e.g. Cobra). Very rarely Weekly Jump handed a series over to Weekly Young Jump. If it was, the manga had a much more mature audience. Shueisha was worried that if too many series were moved, the younger fans would have been exposed to older, mature series. Titles like Business Jump, Ultra Jump, and others were restricted from having Weekly Jump series moved into their anthologies. On December 11, 1988, Super Jump made a special anthology; Oh Super Jump. The 'Oh' in Oh Super Jump stands for 'Otaku'. Some series from the offshoot have also been moved to the main magazine in 2007. Super Jump published its last issue in late 2011. Three ongoing series were moved to a new title, Grand Jump.
