Two questions keep popping up in my head when I watch these videos, how much did an issue of weekly jump cost around this time? I imagine it'd be pretty pricy given how much manga come out, quality or not. And then I was also wondering how big the issues were. I had a few volumes of the american edition of the comic when I was in high school and they were easily 300-400 pages long each. Is it the same in Japan?
So at this time Jump would have been about 180 Yen (about 220 yen adjusted for inflation apparently) and would be about 400 pages. I have an issue from 1991 and it's 438 pages long! Usually there's 20ish manga and they tend to have 18 pages per chapter on avarage, some like dragonball or gag manga like tar chan from this period had less, about 15 or 16. Your looking at about 360 actual pages of manga, then the rest is adverts, colour pages or articles! Jump is ridiculous cheap, the size of a phone book and in Japan their largely disposable. The paper in them is actually very cheap and soft with not the greatest print. Idk how much money they make off the magazine but it also serves to advertise so much including the manga inside which would get volumes later. That's how they'd make their money back. Jumps gotten a bit more expensive but I think it's about 300 yen now, it's also circulated much less. Idk much about the American jump issues but they looked higher quality from what I can tell and are pretty similar in concept! Lots of other countries have their own versions of Jump too, like China which still publishes theirs, it's called "Formosa Youth" I think. Hopefully this answered your questions and was interesting haha
@@TrentinArt Thanks for the detailed explanation! It's been a really long time since I had my copies of the magazine (this would've been mid-late 2000s) and wish I still preserved them, but iirc I think they costed from like 12-20 dollars, somewhere in that ballpark so quite a bit more expensive. I think they were monthly too. Definitely sounds like something in your ballpark to make a future video about, would be interested in hearing about other countries' Jumps.
I've been on a long-standing journey into understanding as many influences Eiichiro Oda absorbed and transmuted into his series One Piece, in order to improve my own artistic transmutation skills, and a major highlight he mentioned in his interviews was how lucky he and his peers were in witnessing the entire Golden Age of Jump begin and end. Your series cataloguing the timeline of this stuff, and highlighting, not only works with greater cultural significance, but even more obscure ones with interesting art/concepts/stories, has been of MAJOR help with that purpose of mine. I GREATLY appreciate it, ESPECIALLY when you note when stuff has been fully/partially translated, officially or not. That stuff saves me so much damn time lol.
Glad it's helped you! I love showing that some more obscure manga can be Read and often it's these manga I find most interesting! Also a lot of untranslated stuff is so visually or artistically interesting to me, I often save stuff as reference. The whole period is rife with such amazing art
What a fantastic year for Jump, Yu Yu Hakusho was once my favorite anime of all time and is still my number 2 Shounen which puts it top 10 at the absolute bare minimum. Slam Dunk is also coincidentally my 2nd favorite sports manga, I'm a weirdo though cause my favorite is Prince Of Tennis.
Slam Dunk and Yu Yu Hakusho are probably in my Top 10 Jump series ever they're able to still hold up with everything almost 35 years later truly amazing Anime and Manga that deserves the success
Slam Dunk was a hit from the gecko from the 2nd half of 91 it was already in top 3 best selling manga in Jump. Inoue's cartoony art which would switch during serious moments was probably inspired from his time as Tsukasa Hojo's(City Hunter) assistant. CH did the same.
An aspect of YYH that isn't often mentioned in that the beginning is kinda of a romcom with supernatural elements. Togashi's early art is the same as many of romcoms from the mid/late 80s like his previous work.
Yes now we're in the 90's!!! great video of 1990 shonen jump again great job of the detailed explanation of every series for this year I love both Slam Dunk and Yu Yu Hakusho and you did a great job in exploring the plot and themes of each series without any major spoilers, I'm still reading Slam Dunk (finished vol 11) and I just started reading Yu Yu Hakusho (currently on vol 2) and watching both their anime absolutely loved this video thank you for your hard work looking forward to 1991😊
Yuyu Hakusho is one of my top favorite series of all time I have watched the anime multiple times and read the manga several times over and own all 19 volumes. Without spoiling anything yuyu Hakusho has probably the best tournament arc of any series and it's a hill I am willing to fight and die on. So you will enjoy the tournament in later upcoming arc. I am glad viz media started reprints of yuyu Hakusho so more folks like yourself can physically get them. Now I wish the same for Saint seiya! I can't get them all physically still!
Another great job, you did it. Yeah! The 90s are an incredible decade, which inspired all the artists, mangaka, producer, writer, filmmakers. Some publishers made all the mangaka rise to propel them to the top of this industry, it's very interesting, on the other side, Japan survived and generated a good GDP, following various trends, by western countries; Yakuza sky to the moon, with influence, it grabbed all the industries they wanted, and bought them and invested a lot of money on it. But it declined, when the boss of the group died. These are the three big ones of this year, Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk and the last one on the list Yuyu Hakusho, thank you Yoshihiro Togashi who is GOAT. I can recommend reading it Your channel is very cool, I followed some arcs this year. I would say that in the last video.
Ngl I really like and appreciate that you’re talking about some of these really long and impactful series throughout the years like Dragon Ball, Jojos and Yuyu Hakusho. If immerses me in the retrospectives even more seeing what the juggernauts of the magazine were getting up to every year
I'm glad you think do! I wanted to deep dive a bit more into a few more popular series do it could ground people and help them understand what was going on when. Plus I think all 3 have pretty dramatic development over time
I think you probably know that YuYu Hakusho is my favourite anime/manga/shonen jump series of all time and all of media I was so excited to see this video especially seeing YuYu Hakusho and slam dunk too
Bring on the 90s! These videos get a lot of engagement for the amount of views. One day this channel is gonna pop! I'm so happy you came up in my feed last year. History of Shonen Jump is my favorite series on UA-cam!
Seeing Chinyuki and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the same image is insane, I didn't believe it at first when it was shown. That weirdo Taro Yamada keeps showing up in the weirdest places for some reason. As a separate note, I found the entire Slam Dunk English collection in a store recently and bought the entire set. I was so surprised that every volume was there at once, and in great condition!
Ahhh right! It's such a bizarre image but does make some sense since Arnie did a bunch of Japanese commercials at the time. And that's such a great find!!
Small correction: Hana no Keiji *does* have a full unofficial translation in English. Someone on 4chan translated it from the Italian edition, but only the scripts, without typesetting it. This means that he shared the raw chapters with the English text accompanying it. I have a MEGA link with it if you're interested in reading more of it, but do keep this in mind.
I'm extremely torn on whether my love for 80s or 90s Shonen Jump is stronger. Both decades are absolutely packed with all time classics (not to underestimate the 2000s, tons of excellent stuff there as well) that made a massive impact on me growing up. Have to point out I appreciate that aside from showing what series began each year you also show what was going on in long running series, helps put them very much in perspective with how they inspired later media. I play a little game mentally where I think about what was going on during my personal life when stuff like certain Dragon Ball and Jojo arcs were going on (this time I was in first grade and my only real understanding of manga/anime was limited to stuff like Robotech/Macross) so it's a fun trip down memory lane. Also adore the commercials between segments, always been a sucker for that kind of thing. Lately been pushing to get back into the current anime/manga scene beyond what I follow weekly in Jump and your content motivates me by reminding me of why I love it in the first place. Only now am I getting into watching stuff like the Ranma 1/2 remake (between a David Lynch marathon, have to pay my respects to one of the all time greats) and your videos are an excellent companion piece.
Im a bit of the same right now tbh especially when it comes to Jump, im not sure what eras are my favourite at all anymore. It's very interesting to me since the magazine was releasing stuff decades before I was born, learning about all this manga that preceded my existence makes me feel oddly comforted. I love including the commercials, not all of them are date accurate but they give a bit of a feel for the era and are nice ways to break up segments! I'm glad my videos can help you remincise on jump and inspire you to read more that makes me really happy. Enjoy Ranma and Lynches movies, Id like to take some time and watch one of his films I havent seen yet as a way of personally seeing him off, sometime this month anyway.
34:53 When I read the manga, first I saw the anime, I was surprised how many histories were cut and I feel sad, especially chapters 10 and 11, this charpters were important for Yusuke and Kuwavara relationship 😢 Anyway, great job, 90's brought many important series to the magazine.
I still reread Yu Yu Hakusho every 3 4 years. That and Hunter X Hunter Togashi is still the goat after all these years. Mite have to check out Slam Dunk I have heard a lot of great things about it.
There's a sequel apparently Chinyuuki 2 in 2009 to 2010 published in Business Jump wish I'm guessing is a magazine for adults Due to it the first one's disturbing content
Absolutely love the middle part of part 3, oingo and boingo was one of the first jojo episodes i watched lol so i might be a little nostalgic already. 10 years to toriyamas run since dr slump too, at this point dragon ball already being longer than his previous series, the early freeza arc is really great and vegeta is pretty exciting to watch, my main complaint is how tropey it feels mainly with having to wait for goku to arrive, twice. I love slam dunk haha but i havent read any other sports manga to compare, what an ending... Early yu yu hakusho is really nice, togashi draws really cute, i was a bit shocked when i heard the anime skips most of the beginning
Yeahh I love mid part 3, I'm super excited for the rest of the egypt stands too! Waiting for Goku is a bit of a drag but I do really like the arc overall
23:43 Woah, you used Ring Fit music? Also, I consider Chinyuuki to be Jump’s Ren & Stimpy, due to its gross-out humor and ultra-detailed close ups. I’m one of the few people who vibe with it.
Yeahh haha I should play it more but I racked up quite a lot of time on it, it's music is super solid and I thought a good fit for slam dunk. I also thought about the Ren and Stimpy similarities! Mangatarou is an odd artist but I do kinda like his stuff
@@TrentinArtI’ve been playing it since last year, it seemed to really help me lose weight. Also, if you like Ring Fit, I might suggest either Wii Fit or Miitopia, if you like quirky RPG’s.
If you take video request. I think a cool idea is to go over a content called global comics contest I believe it’s hit it’s 4 years mark and it happens around this time through march or April.
Spoiler alert for Slam Dunk The one thing that really doesn't let Slam Dunk quite reach the masterpiece status that some people hail it as is that i feel it ended far too early, I like the ending but it could of easily went through to Sakuragis 2nd year, Rukawa is literally my favorite character too but we barely know anything about him, really wish it went on longer.
For me I think it ends well though other characters could use more work. If viewed as a story about Sakuragi and him falling in love with basketball I think it works really well
@TrentinArt True, I think I just wanted to see the whole cast get to shine a bit more, I thought it was really cool what they did with the movie and would love something like that for another unadapted match with Rukawa or even Akagi.
TrentinArt, I'm currently drawing/writing my one shot that I'm submitting to Jump this year for their international global competition. My series is heavily inspired by Naruto. I hope you get the chance to read it. I've even made trailers and previews. I'm currently drawing as I watch your video.
Awesome! I'm actually planning a video where I read other people's manga and review them so if it's done relatively soon I could cover it there if you'd like
Being inspired by anything no matter how popular is fine, taking that inspiration and making something of it is admirable. Better than making fun of others over it
@ It would mean the world to me if you could check it out once it's done, thank you Trentin. I'm actually sending you some video trailers and preview pages of my manga if it's okay? Maybe it'll give you a better idea of the project :D The best way to describe my manga is this: If you remember the trifecta war between the legendary Sanin (Snake VS Frog VS Slug), in my manga, it's basically a trifecta war against Giant Snakes VS Lions VS Eagles.
I disagree with your opinion on YYH. I found the first 40 chapters to be boring or just okay which made me dropped it eventually. I was surprised by how generic it is giving how Togashi receives a lot of praise for his bold and ambitious writing decisions in HXH. The only thing kept me going for 40 chapters was the art
Hmmmm interesting, I'd say the opposite for maybe the first chunk up to maybe Maze Castle then it gets pretty "generic". But for the period it was serialized it was still quite hip and what comes after feels very ahead of its time for me.

They really do!! Both feel very modern compared to their contempories and it makes sense bases on how they'd go on to influence a lot of future manga
Arnold on a shonen jump cover is an amazing discovery haha
90's anime is one of my favourite decades so im excited for this
It's one of my favourite Jump tidbits! Glad your excited for the future too!

What an incredible start to the grungy 90s, and what a decade ahead to talk about some absolute goats of SJ
Awesome video! I almost teared up hearing the Slam Dunk and YYH theme songs again since they got me through tough times during the pandemic.
They're both super nostalgic and very addictive to listen to. I had them stuck in my head the entire time while editing
I think you probably know that YuYu Hakusho is my favourite anime/manga/shonen jump series of all time and all of media
I was so excited to see this video especially seeing YuYu Hakusho and slam dunk too
Awww glad I could talk about it and I will be again in the future videos too, its such a cool series!
@@TrentinArtyep I’m currently into the dark tournament much deeper in my reread of YuYu Hakusho but I will be contributing on thoses segments.

I remember seeing Chinyuki appeared in J-Stars Victory VS (Weekly Shonen Jump crossover fighting game for PSVita and PS3) as a kid.
Ahaha same! I always wondered who he was and now I know

Ohhh really! thats pretty cool hopefully someone takes the Translation and typesets it sometime, thanks for the info!
Chinyuki was a lot shorter than I thought seeing that he got into Jump Stars.
Yeah ikr, for the amount of covers and buzz it got I thought it would be much longer
Insanely strong year, but i guess you can say that every couple years too
You absolutely can, the golden age was great year back to back!
Amazing video! As always 😁
Thank you!!
Wow that's a crazy good line-up
I know right!! It's so much fun cataloguing jumps line-up each year and seeing it get better and better!

Ohhhh that makes so much sense!

global comics contest
I believe it’s hit it’s 4 years mark and it happens around this time through march or April.
Ohh it could be cool to look into. I wanted to talk about non Japanese manga and comics at some point
The first episode of Yu Yu Hakusho still makes me cry as a grown ass man, it's so good. The rest of it is cool but not super memorable to me
It's so touching, really great start to the series and I kinda agree idk if the rest touched me quite as much
Spoiler alert for Slam Dunk
The one thing that really doesn't let Slam Dunk quite reach the masterpiece status that some people hail it as is that i feel it ended far too early, I like the ending but it could of easily went through to Sakuragis 2nd year, Rukawa is literally my favorite character too but we barely know anything about him, really wish it went on longer.

TrentinArt, I'm currently drawing/writing my one shot that I'm submitting to Jump this year for their international global competition. My series is heavily inspired by Naruto. I hope you get the chance to read it. I've even made trailers and previews. I'm currently drawing as I watch your video.
Inspired by Naruto? Yawn!
Awesome! I'm actually planning a video where I read other people's manga and review them so if it's done relatively soon I could cover it there if you'd like
