Shueisha today launched an official website and Twitter for the upcoming three-part 50th anniversary exhibition for its signature manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump to reveal more details including the 63 titles for its first selection. The top-selling Japanese manga magazine was established as a bi-weekly magazine in 1968 and then went to weekly in the following year. According to Japan Magazine Publishers Association (JMPA), its current circulation is about 2 million copies, which is less than one-third of its peak of 6.53 million in 1995.

 

The first part "The Beginning of The Legend" introducing the magazine's classic titles from its launch to the 1980s is scheduled to be held at Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo between July 18 and October 15. The second part "The Impact of The 6.53 Million Copies" for the 1990s works will follow in the spring of 2018, then the third part "The Present of The Evolving Strongest Magazine" for the 2000s and current works is set in the summer of the year. Advance tickets for the first part will go on sale at the
