October 10 marks the suspension of Shueisha's Jump Kai (Jump X) magazine, which first emerged in June 2011 as a special edition of Weekly Young Jump before breaking off on its own and officially launching in April 2012. The monthly magazine currently features series like Hiroyuki Takei's Shaman King Flowers, Tomoko Ninomiya's 87CLOCKERS, and Kousuke Mashida's Greece Shinwa Gekijou: Kamigami to Hitobito no Hibi, among others.
The announcement on Kai's official website cites changes in the environment surrounding youth manga in recent years, with Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump remaining a prime destination for youth-oriented material.
