フレッシュジャンプ [Fresh Jump]

A short-lived, six-issue experiment from Shueisha, Fresh Jump (1982–1983) was a spinoff of Weekly Shōnen Jump designed to spotlight newer, bolder talent and give readers a taste of what might come next. This limited series served as a testing ground for emerging creators, offering a platform for one-shot stories and unconventional concepts outside the main magazine's rigorous schedule. Though brief, it captures a moment when the publisher was actively cultivating fresh voices and risk-taking storytelling.
