We all know about the Japanese "Weekly Shonen Jump", and we all know about the "U.S. Shonen Jump", which is recently getting some criticism for tougher editing policies that came after Scholastic dropped Jump from U.S. book fairs due to a parent's complaint.
What is Shonen Jump like in Europe?
In Germany, it is called "Banzai!" and it is published by Carlsen Verlag. It has serialized several titles, including an original German-made "manga".
In Sweden, it has four titles, SandLand, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Shaman King, and Naruto.
The Norwegian version also started publication.

You can't subscribe to it in England and the only shop I've ever seen it in is Forbidden Planet in London. Which is also the only place I've ever seen Shonen Jump Graphic Novels in either.

Yes, I believe British people have to import SJ titles from the US and Canada.

I've never seen Shonen Jump graphic novels in the shops. The only time was in New York but I ment never in England (But then again I don't live in a big city) I usually order the graphic novels off amazon.co.uk

Never heard of Shonen Jumps. Can someone explain it, please? The reason I put it as a plural, my friend, is because there are different editions in Europe, depending on the language. They are the German Jump, the Swedish Jump, and the Norwegian Jump.

I don't even think England has any comics/manga.

They do have Manga. If you look in any halfdecent bookshop there should be a small section on it. Then again I've only seen it in London and Milton Keynes but I'm sure there should be in other parts of England.

shonen jump - boy jump! shonen is boy in japanese bacause all the manga's in it are shonen meaning boy or cute boy, if they were shojo (girl or cute girl) it would be shojo jump! i really wish shonen jump would come out on sale in england! then maybe we would be able to read the manga's and not watch the dubs!

I haven't really seen any, except Pokemon ones... though I haven't been to a bookshop in ages.

Brinny- actually, 'cute' is nowhere in the translation of shoujo or shounen. They are directly translated as 'girl' and 'boy.' The only thing you could add onto them and still be accurate would be 'young girl' or 'young boy,' as the implication that they are young is there.
Also, for the record, there is no such book titled "Weekly Shounen Jump" in Japan. There is "Weekly Jump!" (which is a weekly edition of Shounen Jump), but no "Weekly Shounen Jump."
They also have other Jump books that come out bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly, but I don't know their titles off the top of my head (when I go to Kinokuniya, I look for LaLa or LaLa DX, or the Harukanaru Toki no Naka De tankouban).
