The first issue was released with a cover date of JulyAugust 21, 1968<ref>[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/weekly-shonen-jump-1-no-1-1968/4000-299656/ Weekly Shōnen Jump #1 - No. 1, 1968]</ref>, and it is still circulating. One of the longest-running manga magazines in Japan, it has a circulation of 21.83 million copies (20092021)<ref>[https://adnavi.shueisha.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/mediaguide2022.pdf Shueisha Media Guide 2022]</ref>. The chapters of series that run in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' are collected and published in ''tankōbon'' volumes under the "''Jump Comics''" imprint every two to three months. The manga series within the magazine target young male readers (aged 12 to 18) and tend to consist of a large number of action scenes and, a fair amount of comedy, and the approach of themes such as friendship and personal growth.

Weekly Shonen Jump was launched by Shueisha on July 211, 1968<ref>[https://natalie.mu/comic/news/241003 ジャンプ50周年記念の復刻版、第1弾は創刊号と653万部記録号の2冊]</ref> to compete with the already-successful {{W|Weekly Shonen Magazine}} and {{W|Weekly Shonen Sunday}}. The Weekly Shonen Jump's sister publication was a manga magazine called {{W|Shonen Book}}, which was originally a male version of the short-lived shojo manga anthology Shojo Book. Prior to issue 20, Weekly Shonen Jump was originally called simply ''Shonen Jump'' as it was originally a semi-weekly magazine. In 1969, Shonen Book ceased publication at which time Shonen Jump became a weekly magazine and a new monthly magazine called Bessatsu Shonen Jump was made to take Shonen Book's place. This magazine was later rebranded as {{W|Monthly Shonen Jump}} before eventually being discontinued and replaced by {{W|Jump Square}}.

''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' was originally serialized in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' from 19871986{{Ref-Note|First issue was released in stores on December 2, 1986, with a cover date of January 1, 1987 - [http://comicvine.gamespot.com/weekly-shonen-jump-940-no-1-2-1987/4000-509129/ Weekly Shonen Jump #940 - No. 1-2, 1987]}} to 2004. In 2005, the series changed the magazine of its publication to ''[[Ultra Jump]]'' during the run of its seventh installment, ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''. While in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'', the series was published under the tagline {{Nihongo|'''"Romance Horror! -A Crimson Tale-"'''|ロマンホラー!—深紅の秘伝説—|Romanhorā!-Shinku no hi densetsu-}}. The tagline was created by the editorial department at Shueisha, and was included in every chapter up until ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<ref>{{INT|JoJo Could Have Ended Withwith Part 4 (October 2012)}}</ref>

The first episode of ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]'', ''[[TSKR Episode 16|At a Confessional]]'', was published in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' on June 24, 1997{{Ref-Note|Cover date of July 7, 1997 - [https://comicvine.gamespot.com/weekly-shonen-jump-1454-no-30-1997/4000-516469/ Weekly Shonen Jump #1454 - No. 30, 1997]}}. It was created under the restriction set by the magazine that it couldn't be related to the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' series. This was because the editorial department had a strict policy against spin-offs or side stories. As a workaround, Araki made Rohan the narrator of the one-shot.<ref>''[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]'': Hirohiko Araki</ref> Even after ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' ended serializedserialization in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'', many other episodes of ''Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan'' would continue to be published in the magazine. This included ''[[TSKR Episode 5|Millionaire Village]]'' in 2012 and ''[[TSKR Episode 6|Poaching Seashore]]'' in 2013. In 2014, ''[[TSKR Episode 4|The Harvest Moon]]'' was also released exclusively through their free online manga service {{W|Shōnen Jump+|Shonen Jump+}}.
