WSJ Rankings

Weekly Shonen Jump Pure Rankings

What is it? How does it work?

There are many publishers in Japan that sell weekly magazine issues of manga. The top and most popular in Japan and abroad is Weekly Shonen Jump from the publisher Shueisha. This magazine has all the well known Mangas: One Piece, Bleach, Naruto. They also printed such hits as Dragonball and Saint Seiya.

The problem with being popular is that there are many mangaka (manga artist) that wish to work for them. As a result the brass of the magazine thought that every week readers would fill out a “reader’s survey”, the results would form the ranks.  The lower the manga is on the ranks the more likely that it will be cancelled and replaced by a new one. Weekly Shonen Jump are very strict with this compared to other magazines that don’t really bother, but this is probably the reason why they are booming in Japan and the rest of the world.

The ranks are not shown as “ranks” in the magazine; they are listed as the Table of Content (ToC). This means that the better the manga does in the rankings the closer it is to the front page.

My rankings, as well as any other rankings you may see online are based on the 8 week rule. This means that from the time the readers fill out the survey for a particular issue, to when the results are printed in the magazine, 8 weeks would have past.

One last thing to note, mangas that have colour pages are excluded from the rankings as they are placed within the magazine at Shueisha's discretion.

Isobe Isobee Monogatari tends to have last position. At times it is known for Jump to publish 2 chapters in one volume, one these occassion I listed the chapter that is not in last place.
