The chapters of series that run in V Jump are collected and published in tankōbon volumes under the "Jump Comics" imprint every two to three months. The magazine features many inspired by videogames and hosts the Yu-Gi-Oh! series manga.

History[]

A prototype magazine called Hobby's Jump was launched in the 80s as a spin-off issue of Monthly Shōnen Jump. Hobby's Jump was announced discontinued, and a new magazine called V Jump arrived. V Jump is a video game magazine, namely for the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series, as well as many shōnen manga. Akira Toriyama designed the magazine's mascot character V Dragon (V龍), who was named via a reader poll.

V Jump has also taken many series from Weekly Shōnen Jump, such as Shadow Lady created by Masakazu Katsura, which has had more success than ever in V Jump. Later on, the magazine published a sequel to the classic Weekly Shōnen Jump series Dr. Slump, characters from which appeared on the cover of the first issue of V Jump, titled The Brief Return of Dr. Slump (written by Takao Koyama and illustrated by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru). After the Dr. Slump series, an adaptation of the spin-off anime Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters GX called Yu-Gi-Oh! GX began serialization. The serialization of the series Yu-Gi-Oh! R ended on December 21, 2007.
