There can be sponsorships to take into consideration, and some titles may be promoted at certain times based on what is trending beyond raw popularity, such as a series or artist trending in the news, or following the television or movie theater debut of an adaptation.įurthermore, not every title appears in every issue, which could make the process even more complicated. The results of the process are not directly indicated and are often speculated on in some ways.įans tend to believe that titles printed near the beginning of the magazine are more popular than others, but this may or may not be entirely true. For example, the readers have been polled on their purchasing habits with questions to determine if they alternate between purchasing digital and print versions of the magazine, if they tend to pass on buying print editions entirely with the availability of digital editions, or if they end up reading and purchasing both on a regular basis. These surveys continue to exist beyond print form for readers who prefer to read Weekly Shonen Jump via either the web, or a mobile app, and feature new questions from time to time.

In the case of Weekly Shonen Jump, the postcards mainly contain popularity surveys, asking readers for their opinion on which three manga stories they thought were their favorite amongst the titles for that week, and the data is used to determine which stories remain featured in the magazine. The practice of polling readers is not uncommon within Japanese publications, in fact, the weekly and monthly editions of Famitsu, one of Japan’s most popular video game-related magazines, does the same thing to collect data, although in the case of Famitsu the data is usually simply printed to indicate popularity amongst readers with no actual consequence. With each issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, a postcard is filled that contains a survey for readers. Yes, there is the Weekly Shonen Jump Rankings.
