History
Ultra Jump started as a special issue of the seinen anthology Weekly Young Jump called "Young Jump: Ultra Special Issue: Ultra Jump", which was first issued in 1995. The magazine was split to a monthly publication in 1999, simply called "Ultra Jump". On March 19, 2008, Ultra Jump released an online spin-off of the Ultra Jump magazine: "Young Jump: Ultra Special Issue: Ultra Jump" (ヤングジャンプ超増刊ウルトラジャンプ, Yangu Janpu Chō Zōkan Orutora Janpu ). Ultra Jump Egg is an online manga website that mainly serializes manga not in the original Ultra Jump magazine.[4]
Features
 |
The magazine has been known for fanservice-laden fantasy and science-fiction stories aimed at young adults.[5][6] Shueisha's light novel line, "Super Dash Bunko", has close ties with the Ultra Jump magazine, as Ultra Jump supports the line by creating manga adaptions of the titles. (e.g. R.O.D) One-shots from manga writers are featured regularly and are called Special One-Shot (特別読切, Tokubetsu yomikiri ). Each issue includes an item featuring one or more series currently running in the magazine.
