Shonen Jump Shelf Tour: Every Manga Series You Need to Know About

Imagine Weekly Shonen Jump as this giant, creaky bookshelf, sagging under the weight of manga history. You’ve got your heavy, ancient tomes (One Piece, anyone?), a few dusty relics, a bunch of shiny new hardcovers—and, let's be real, some books you know are on the verge of falling off.

Today, we’re diving into EVERY series currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.
(And yes, before you say it, Hunter x Hunter is somehow technically still here.)

📖 The Titans That Won't Quit

One Piece — Do we even need to explain this anymore? The king. The GOAT. Luffy and the Straw Hats continue their endless journey since 1997. It's a living fossil, but one we all love dearly.

Hunter x Hunter — It's back! Kind of! Sort of! Yoshihiro Togashi's masterpiece drifts between hiatuses like a beautiful, endangered butterfly. But hey, any new chapters are a blessing.

🥇 Yesterday's Legends

On our next shelf? The Big Three (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), and other iconic titles like Death Note, Gintama, and Eyeshield 21. They're not in the mag anymore, but their spirits haunt every page.

And yes, we still have vibes from Demon Slayer, Haikyuu!!, and The Promised Neverland, even though they wrapped up in the early 2020s. They're the old guard whose sales still keep Jump's lights on.

📈 The New Core

Me & Roboco — Pure chaotic gag manga energy. If memes could walk, they would look like Roboco.

Sakamoto Days — Retired hitman running a convenience store...except he’s still low-key a beast. High-octane, fast, funny—Sakamoto Days is pure action comfort food.

The Elusive Samurai — Historical fiction magic from the Assassination Classroom creator. Slick art, sneakily compelling storytelling.

Witch Watch — A magical romcom that swings between hilarious antics and serious, heartfelt arcs. Never know what you're gonna get—and that's the fun part!

🎾 Sports and Romance (And Everything In Between)

Blue Box — If you haven't fallen in love with Blue Box yet, you’re missing out. A brilliant blend of sports (badminton) and aching teenage romance.

Akane-banashi — Maybe the best manga you're not reading. It's about rakugo, Japanese storytelling, and the fire to carve your name into an ancient art.

🎮 New Era Standouts

Kill Blue — Middle-aged hitman turned middle schooler? Yup. Somehow works and might be the next anime announcement.

New Ways Exorcist — Another "boy and his supernatural pal" story, but with heart, style, and some jaw-dropping battle art.

Kagurabachi — The meme turned reality. And honestly? It lives up to the hype with brutal sword fights and emotional stakes.

🆕 The Freshest Faces

Super Psychic Policeman Chojo — A gag series packed with character-driven humor about, well...a super psychic cop.

Astro Royale — Yakuza + superpowers + apocalypse, from the Tokyo Revengers creator. Cool concept, still waiting for that extra spark.

Ultimate Exorcist Kyoshi — High energy, cartoonish battles. Sales could be better, but it's fun, and sometimes that's enough.

Hematen — Traditional harem romcom vibes, but with a cleaning-obsessed protagonist. Surprisingly refreshing!

✨ Rising Stars

Ichi the Witch — A boy becomes the world's first male witch in a charming magic fantasy. Great sales, strong editorial backing, and a must-read if you love wholesome adventure stories.

Shinobi Undercover — Ninja meets secret service in high school hijinks. Lowkey flying under the radar but doing just fine.

Sidcraft: Love as a Mystery — If you love your romcoms mixed with a sprinkle of mystery, Sidcraft is your jam.

⚽️ New and Experimental

Embers — A soccer manga focused on defense (for once!). Could it finally break Jump's unlucky streak with sports manga? We’ll see.

Star of Beethoven — Yes, it’s literally about Beethoven being transported to modern-day Japan to help a kid find his love for piano again. Wacky, heartfelt, and worth keeping an eye on.

🎯 The Takeaway:

Shonen Jump right now is a wild, chaotic, amazing mess—and honestly, that's exactly how we like it. You’ve got tried-and-true titans standing shoulder-to-shoulder with experimental newcomers. Some will thrive. Some will vanish overnight.
That’s the thrill of the Jump shelf.

So, grab a volume, discover a new favorite, and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
