Great video, great food for thought It is definitely one of the most exciting times in shonen jump’s history. One word to describe this era could be: diverse. While the magazine has frequently featured some off-beat stories and some that weren’t standard shonen fare, it was still mostly action-centric shonen. In recent years it went beyond that. One of the top 5 most popular Shonen Jump series for 2023 is Akane-Banashi, a story set in the world of traditional Japanese monologue theatre. This is more of a slice of life series and centers around a female character’s mission to become a star of this medium. Also top 10 is the very satirical and whimsical Me and Robocco, which is as if taking Rosie the robot maid from the Jetsons, giving her the Crayon Shin-Chan treatment and with Jojo kind of tone/undertone. We have protagonists over 30s in both Sakamoto Days and in Kaiju no. 8, not only the standard teenage hero or in their 20s. Not only is Shonen Jump a collection of shonen and non-shonen material now, it also has reinterprets and spins the classic tropes and structure of shonen more than ever. Another word would be: seinen. I think the term is a lot of the times used very vaguely to refer to more mature themed but still essentially shonen manga and the line between shonen and seinen gets even more blurry every year. And I feel Shonen Jump now embraces crossing the line, keeping up with a more diverse taste in manga. Dan Da Dan and Chainsaw Man are very indicative of this. Sorry for the humungous post.
