History

'' reached a peak weekly circulation of 6.53 million copies in the 1990s, but the decline of print media has since been reducing readership. In response, publisher

turned towards digital distribution to attempt to reach out to a wider audience. In 2012, they launched the online Jump Book Store. In 2014, Shueisha launched ''

'', an online platform that allows users to buy e-book versions of ''Jump'' manga and a digital version of ''Weekly Shōnen Jump''. It also has large samples that can be read for free. Shuhei Hosono, the head editor for ''Shōnen Jump+'' and ''Manga Plus'', said that they were aware of the many manga readers overseas, and that they wanted to bring manga to more people around the world. They began talks about a possible global version of ''Shōnen Jump+'' in 2017. Shueisha finally launched ''Manga Plus'' on January 28, 2019. The service was made available to every country except China, South Korea, and Japan, with the latter countries being excluded because they each already have their own separate services. The ''Shōnen Jump+'' editorial department manages overseas distribution through ''Manga Plus'' in-house. Yūta Momiyama, a Shueisha editor who manages the ''Shōnen Jump+'' and ''Manga Plus'' online services, said this is with the intent of making the creation of hit manga on a global scale "a core part of ''Weekly Shōnen Jump''s editorial approach". Until ''Manga Plus'', Shueisha's titles were distributed throughout the world via local publishers or distribution lines. The launch was the first time that Shueisha had expanded direct service globally. 50 manga titles were available at launch. A portion of the revenue earned from advertisements goes directly to the original manga authors. At launch, English was the only language available on ''Manga Plus''. The Spanish version launched on February 25, 2019, albeit with a different lineup of manga titles. The Thai version launched in December 2019, only available in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. In February 2021, some titles became available in Indonesian. The Portuguese version of the site launched in April 2021, only available in Brazil and Portugal. In August 2021, ''Manga Plus'' took away the region restrictions for all languages, and made it possible to switch to other languages from the series page. The Russian version of the website and app launched on August 9, 2021, with the French version following in September 2021. In October 2020, ''Manga Plus'' started its own official

server. In February 2021, a redesigned web-app version of ''Manga Plus'' launched to commemorate its second anniversary. At the end of June 2022, it was announced that starting in 2023, every new manga series launched on ''Shōnen Jump+'' would receive a simultaneous English release on ''Manga Plus''. In August 2022, Shueisha launched ''Manga Plus Creators'', a website and app that publishes user-submitted manga from users inside and outside of Japan; the ''Shōnen Jump+'' editorial department is running the service along with localization company MediBang.
