[edit] History

The official title of the magazine is Jump SQ. (abbreviated as "SQ." with no Jump) but the name is also a pun, as the abbreviation for "Square" ("SQ"), can stand for "Supreme Quality"[3] making a reference to its full title "Jump Square: Supreme Quality Manga Magazine". Jump SQ. is a replacement for the canceled Gekkan "Shōnen Jump" (literally, Monthly "Shonen Jump", abbreviated as "MJ") manga anthology.[4][5][6]

Four series from the Gekkan "Shōnen Jump" were serialized in Shūkan Shōnen Jump (literally, Weekly Shonen Jump abbreviated as WJ) until Jump SQ was released, and brough back the long awaited series; Tegami Bachi, Rosario to Vampire, Claymore (had three big magazine issues made[7]), and Kōsuke Masuda Gekijō Gag Manga Biyori.[8] The first Jump SQ. issue featured the series Embalming -The Another Tale of Frankenstein- and was called "The New Publication Issue".

Before Jump SQ., a special edition of Shūkan Shōnen Jump's Akamaru Jump, called JUMP the REVOLUTION! featured many one-shots of SQ. series. Two one-shots: Embalming -Dead Body and Bride-[9] (called Embalming -Corpse and Bride- in the U.S. featured in translation of Busō Renkin volume 10), and Embalming II -Dead Body and Lover-[10], later inspired the series Embalming -The Another Tale of Frankenstein-. As well as Embalming being a big part of it, the manga Luck Stealer by the creator of the Shūkan Shōnen Jump series Mind Assassin, made a one-shot in the magazine.[11]

Several titles that had formerly appeared in other Jump publications have re-appeared under the Jump SQ. serialization. Mahō-Tsukai Kurohime, which was formerly serialized in Gekkan "Shōnen Jump", continued on the magazine's website as an online manga.[12]

[edit] JC SQ. Comics

JC SQ. Comics (JC SQ.コミックス Je Ci Sukuea Commikusu?) is a Jump SQ. subsidiary of the Jump Comics (ジャンプ・コミックス Janpu Comikkusu?) line. Only manga originally serialized in Jump SQ. are put under the line. The Jump SQ. series originally serialized in the now-defunct Gekkan "Shōnen Jump", are still under the regular "Jump Comics" manga line, while the volumes are now coming from Jump SQ.[13] The first series to be under JC SQ. Comics was Dragonaut -The Resonance-[14], and the second; Luck Stealer.[15] Gekkan "Shōnen Jump" did not have it's own line[16], even though Jump SQ. (the replacement of the magazine) has it's own line, the series of JC SQ. Comics are still labeled as "Jump Comics" on S-Manga.Net.[17]
