Shōnen Jump Alpha

Shōnen Jump Alpha was a digital subscription service launched by VIZ Media in 2012. It offered fans early access to English-translated chapters of popular manga series typically found in the physical Shōnen Jump magazine. Subscribers could read titles like "Naruto" and "One Piece" online, often on the same day they were released in Japan. This platform allowed readers to stay current with their favorite series while supporting creators and publishers. In 2016, Shōnen Jump Alpha was replaced by a more comprehensive digital offering called VIZ Media's Shonen Jump, enhancing accessibility and expanding its library.
