Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "check for unknown parameters". Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Japanese shōnen manga magazine, focusing on manga as well as video games based on popular manga. The magazine's debut was in 1990[1] by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines.

History

In the early 1990s, Shueisha directed Weekly Shōnen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishima to create V Jump as a children's magazine to compete with Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic. Believing Shueisha was incapable of this because they lacked the experience and personal connections Shogakukan had, Torishima claims to have purposefully chosen a theme he knew would be unpopular for the third issue.[2][3] He then received permission to re-launch the magazine with the new goal of containing manga, anime, and video game content all in one medium.[2] Torishima later claimed to have predicted people being able to access all of these in one place like smartphones, and wanted to "get off the sinking ship" that was print manga magazines as soon as possible.[3][4] He also wanted to begin promoting games while they were still in development, and personally went around to major game studios and asked them to publicize the names and faces of the individual creators.[2][3] Torishima left Weekly Shōnen Jump to re-launch V Jump in 1992, and serve as its editor-in-chief.[3][5] He also changed the meaning of the "V" in its title from "Victory", derived from the V sign, to "Virtual".[3] Akira Toriyama designed the magazine's mascot character Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., who was named via a reader poll.[6]

Most of the manga serialized in V Jump are spin-offs of popular Weekly Shōnen Jump titles or adaptations of video games and anime. These include Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Boruto. Original manga serialized in the magazine include Shadow Lady by Masakazu Katsura and Go! Go! Ackman by Toriyama. In November 2020, comedian Kendo Kobayashi was officially appointed an editor of V Jump.[7]
