| Quote: | | Shueisha has announced that its shonen magazine Monthly Shonen Jump will cease publication as of the July issue, on sale June 6th. According to Shueisha, the suspension is due to Monthly Jump's declining sales, which have dropped 30% since its peak.
Also, Shueisha's Public Relations Department stated that a new magazine is currently being planned to replace Monthly Shonen Jump: "We plan on creating a new magazine that is more in tune with the times, tentatively slated for a launch this fall."
Monthly Shonen Jump was launched in December of 1969 as a sister magazine of Weekly Shonen Jump. In 1989, the magazine's circulation reached 1,400,000, while last year only 420,000 copies were printed. Series serialized in Monthly Shonen Jump include Claymore by Norihiro Yagi, Beet the Vandel Buster by Riki Sanjo & Koji Inada, Captain by Akio Chiba, Mahou Tsukai Kurohime, and more. There has been no announcement regarding the future of manga currently serialized in Monthly Shonen Jump. |

Damn. I hope that doesn't mean we won't be able to get more of Claymore. Wonder what the new magazine will be called.

I don't really follow any of the monthly titles, but that really sucks. Maybe some will get a sequel series or something in the new magazine. Beet and Claymore seem to be the two biggest titles from Monthly. Will they really let them go just like that??

What titles run in Monthly Jump? I tried the encyclopedia, but it seems to lump all of the Jump titles together because I know Bleach and Hunter x Hunter (and many others) run in the weekly Jump magazine, not monthly.

They may not have an entry for Monthly Jump in the encyclopedia. But from my past experience, manga from Weekly Shonen Jump and manga from Monthly Shonen Jump all have the same logo on the sides for some reason, maybe cause they're both named Shonen Jump.

Meh..Monthly Shone Jump was kind of pointless. It just wasn't as good as Weekly Shonen Jump. I mean..What did it have? Claymore, Beet, Android 009. That's about it.

Awww, that stinks. So they are canceling Claymore? Or are they JUST cutting it from the magazine witch would let Norihiro Yagi continue the series?

It was mentioned in the talkback forum thread that they will probably try and get Claymore into the new magazine that they have coming out. I'd really hate to see Claymore get cancelled.

You'd probably want to ask Jariten since he's part of ANN staff.
