Why are Japanese animation, toys and video games so popular around the world? Because they're based on manga -- Japanese comics.
The most popular manga magazine in Japan is <b><i>Weekly Shonen Jump</i></b>, the birthplace of the greatest artists and stories. <b><i>Weekly Shonen Jump</i></b> sells over 3.5 million copies every week, to ages ranging from elementary school students to adults--in a country with half the population of the U.S.
Now, VIZ has brought <b><i>SHONEN JUMP</i></b> to the U.S., featuring the most popular comics from the original Japanese edition. Each issue of <b><i>SHONEN JUMP</i></b> contains over 300 pages of manga, plus artist interviews, card games, videogames, toys and anime information for just $4.95. Plus, the comics in <b><i>SHONEN JUMP</i></b> are printed in the right-to-left Japanese-reading format to preserve the original artwork--but with English sound effects to make them as easy to read in America as they were in Japan. Produced with the cooperation of the original artists and editors, <b><i>SHONEN JUMP</i></b> is the new language of manga.
