Shonen Jump, those were the days

[DarkNozomi]

I remember being over the moon when Shonen Jump first got published in North America... I bought every issue, then after awhile I realized their little plan. They kept introducing new series, running them for a while, and then when people were hooked they'd send them off to buy the books and start another series

Does anyone still read it? Or even the Japanese version? I miss the good old days when the month was measured based on how long until the comic store got the next issue in...

I don't read it anymore, but I do have the first 2 or 3 years worth of the magazine.

I have about 3 years worth in shonen jump in a box somewhere. I did the year long subscription and loved every issue. Even got the Oblisk the Tormentor yu-gi-oh card in an issue. My mom would use the issues to make me do my chorse with her "You can read it when the kitchens done" and what have you That's when I really got into anime and manga for the first time.

Broly did the smart thing... I actually hunted all mine down from shops. I remember trying to find the #1 issue for a few months before I came across it.

I subscribed to US Shonen Jump until it shifted to mostly titles I wasn't interested in. I pay some attention to the Japanese version since it determines when chapters of several series come out.

I used to read Shonen Jump at the library, though it was only for the new Naruto. As my interest in the Naruto manga died, I stopped reading.

You're kidding me, right? They actually published that in the U.S.? How awesome! I'm totally going to get that from the library!

I had about two years worth of them for a long time. I hadn't read it in a long time when I learned they're no longer in print.
