Weekly Shonen Jump Exhibition VOL. 1 [Photo Report]

Weekly Shonen Jump Exhibition VOL. 1 [Photo Report]

The iconic manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump was first published back in 1968, which means that next year marks its 50th anniversary! To commemorate that, this year’s Weekly Shonen Jump Exhibition is all about celebrating the magazine’s history.

50 years is a long time for a single exhibition, though, so it’s being divided into 3 volumes. "Weekly Shonen Jump Exhibition VOL. 1, From the first issue to the 1980s - The beginning of the legend", covers issues from the 1st volume to the 1980s and will be held until Oct. 15. The second will cover the 90s and be open from next March until June, and VOL. 3 will feature the 2000s and be open between next July and September.

If you happen to be in Japan, please visit this exhibition at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi, but for those of you who can’t make it, we have you covered with a photo report of all of the best parts of VOL. 1!

The event is set up by different decades where you can learn more about Weekly Shonen Jump's most popular serials, such DRAGON BALL, Saint Seiya, and Fist of the North Star!

This is Weekly Shonen Jump's very first issue, which is the beginning of the legend.

See the progression of Jump with over 350 original images exhibited in awesomely fun ways!
