Shonen Jump Celebrates 55th Anniversary With Special Promo

By Nick Valdez

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has hit a milestone 55th Anniversary of its original kickoff in Japan, and Shueisha has gone all out to celebrate with a cool new promo and poster for the magazine! Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine began with its first issue back in 1968, and the magazine and world of manga and anime has changed significantly as a result over the many decades of its run so far. Not only has the Jump brand become a worldwide hit over the decades, but many of its various projects have found monumental success in its own right. 

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine kicked off its 55th Anniversary celebration with the latest issue of the magazine releasing in Japan this past weekend, and this included a cool makeover for each of its series as they promote that the manga continues to release every Monday overseas despite how many years have gone by. This features the current line up of heroes now in the magazine with both older and newer serializations alike, and you can check out the special teaser and cover art released for Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's 55th Anniversary below as spotted by @WSJ_manga on Twitter:
