was a shōnen manga magazine which was published monthly in Japan by Shueisha from 1970 to 2007 under the Jump line of magazines. It was the sister magazine to Weekly Shōnen Jump.
History
The Monthly Shōnen Jump magazine started as a spin-off issue of Weekly Jump called Bessatsu Shōnen Jump.
The second spin-off issue was called Monthly Shōnen Jump, which caught on and became its own separate independent manga magazine.
Shōnen manga magazines in Japan in the 1980s focused on bishōjo characters, and Monthly Shōnen Jump stood out due to the many product and toy tie-ins it had during that period and into the 1990s. An off-shoot, Hobby's Jump, was published for 16 issues from 1983 to 1988. Another spin-off Go!Go! Jump was a collaboration between its sister magazine Weekly Jump and Monthly Jump; it was published in 2005 and was only published once.
On 22 February 2007, Shueisha announced that Monthly Jump would cease publication as of the July issue (on sale June 6, 2007). Sales had slumped to a third of the magazine's peak, though a new magazine called Jump SQ. took its place on 2 November.More Info on Jump Square, Jump SQ Official Site Launched, and More | ComiPressMainichi Daily News ends its partnership with MSN, takes on new Web address
