Ok so I was thinking, what exactly is wsj? I've never seen an issue so I don't know anything about it. Is it a magazine that compiles several mangas into one paperback or is it just the name of the publisher? Like If I bought a wsj magazine would I get naruto op and bleach in it or would I have to buy them all separately? And if they are compiled is it only those big 3 mangas or does it have other mangas in it?

The publisher is Shounen Jump, I have no idea who/what WSJ is.

Edit: I just realized, WSJ = Weekly Shounen Jump.

WSJ is compromised of all the manga that they make weekly releases of.

It has Naruto,One Piece,Bleach and like 13-17 other stories in there aswell.It's a Magazine comprised of many different stories.Other popular jump titles that are running in the magazine now are Assasination Classroom,which is always iup in the top 5 of the weekly rankings along with Naruto and One Piece.There's also Nisekoi,Toriko,World Trigger and ofcourse Hunter X Hunter.Those are the most popular stories in the Magazine currently.

From what I understand. WSJ is a weekly anthology of several different mangas, including the big 3 and several others.

Weekly Shonen Jump is a magazine that has latest chapters of manga like Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. I think it's only digital in North America though meaning you read it through any device if you have a subscription. They also give you free gifts like Yugioh Cards too sometimes. I want one badly but don't have a credit card.

I don't think that wsj does the bound volumes anymore. You have to get it digitally and it is a weekly release of several different manga chapters in one magazine

You can make an account,for free (Not membership),and browse around.I made one this morning and they have alot of different manga's first volume avialable for free.And since this is official - All pages come in perfectly.Like DragonBall - everywhere online most of the chapters look like crap but Viz is Crystal Clear.

If Japan cracks down hard enough, a lot more people may be asking that same question.
