【Learn Japanese】Learn Japanese through Concluded Shonen Jump Manga!! Learn Japanese Series Vol.5!!

Why Jump Manga?
Thank you for asking! These are some good points about concluded Shonen Jump Manga when you learn Japanese!
  • Since its weekly magazines and comics are published overseas too, they are comparable with the Japanese manga.
  • Many of them have already been animated, so you can easily listen to the Japanese too.
  • Interesting.
I think the last one is your personal comment, huh?
Oh well! By the way, I’ve featured the latest serialized Jump Manga before so today, we’ll focus on only the concluded versions!

What’s more? We picked out some titles which often go viral in Japanese social media too so let’s check them out too!

Bleach
concluded, 74 volumes in total

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_1307.html
The reason why I recommend this title is that they have announced that the last chapter will finally be made into Anime!!
A high school student, Kurosaki Ichigo, obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper, where he can talk and touch the spirit. One day, he met the Reaper, Kuchiki Rukia. Ichigo asked her for help to destroy the Hollow, who preys spirits!
I recommend Bleach because not only is it concluded but it’s also so interesting, cool and will be animated soon too! It’s good to learn what has happened before! Even for those who have finished reading until the final episode, you should read it over! You will find various hints and it’s interesting~!!

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
concluded, 23 volumes in total

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_31379.html
The reason why I recommend this is…… sorry!! I just thought it was one of the famous titles!! I can’t say that this is a pure mystery genre but it’s just so interesting so give it a try!!
A high school girl, Katsuragi Yako, met Neuro, a demon who was from the demon world. Neuro eats mysteries and has eaten every mystery in the demon world. That’s why he came to the human world to feast on the mysteries offered by humans. To do that, he asked Yako to “pretend to be a detective (to solve the mysteries).” Yako refused it, saying that she can’t find incidents that easily……
All of a sudden, the murder case happened at the café that she dropped by.
Neuro became a “detective assistant” of Yako and they started to work together to eat up all the mysteries that exist in the world.
Neuro was interesting~ I loved it. Not only is it the detective genre but it was also interesting as a story. The trick was set up perfectly and I really loved it.
Yep! I would recommend this title to those who want to read Manga of the mystery genre but want to enjoy reading it, relaxed and also learning Japanese at the same time! This story itself is so beautiful and it ended perfectly too~!! You should try this one too~!!

Kuroko's Basketball (Kuroko no Basket)
concluded, 30 volumes in total

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_11120.html
The reason why I want to recommend this is that the basketball is one of the major sports and it’s been loved by so many people and still often brought up as the subject even after it finished serialized! This is definitely one of the Japanese manga which you should know!
Kagami Taiga is a high school boy who was extremely tall and a high-skilled basketball player. He met Kuroko Tetsuya, who was short and not athletic when he joined the basketball club. He found out that Kuroko was the player who focused on supporting other players on the court, knowing that he was less represented. As long as they have Kagami’s power play and Tetsuya’s support, they can beat any team……! Thinking in that way, they teamed up and were getting ready to challenge the basketball team, Kiseki no Sedai, who used to be the strongest team……!
As for Kuroko no Basket, I would recommend to those who know the rules of the basketball! Your knowledge of the basketball, the illustrations and the anime version will help you understand Japanese! Like this, it has more ways of approaching than other titles!

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
concluded, 21 volumes in total

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_637295.html
About this title…… Well, the reason why I recommend is that it focuses on the complete surreal taste of the Japanese gag…… Let’s say…… If you are learning Japanese and laugh at this story when you read a Japanese version…… then I’m sure you understood Japanese. Why? Even us, Japanese, it was hard to understand even though it was interesting with surprising development!
The story is set in the future. The world was governed by the Empire. The ruler formed the troop called Hair-Hunt so he could make all humans bold, to show his power. Standing against this evil regime is heroic, but bizarre, rebel Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo who fights the Hair Hunt Troop with his powerful Hanage Shinken (Fist of the Nose Hair) to protect humans hair, freedom and peace. It’s an extremely surreal gag battle manga.
Yep. I remember now. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was like that, huh?
I know, right? In every episode, we cannot expect what would happen and tend to forget that this manga has a purpose like that.
By the way, I would recommend reading manga version first. Even though Anime has been produced too, it was rated with the best comment, saying ‘all the production staff have the different aspects and it ended up becoming surreal story, rather, a chaos.’ Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is definitely a legendary Anime.

Hikaru no Go

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_4144.html
The reason why I recommend this manga is that its subject is a board game, ‘Go’, which is loved by Japanese people! This is best for those who want to learn Japanese popular board game, ‘Go’, as well as Japanese~!!
An elementary school student, Shindou Hikaru, was possessed by the genius Go player, Fujiwara no Sai, who lived in Heian era, when he touched the Go board, which had been in his grandfather’s warehouse. Sai’s desire was to play Go. Nobody could see Sai except for Hikaru, so Hikaru ended up playing Go for Sai.
One day, Sai asked Hikaru if he could “play Go with someone.” Then Hikaru went to the social place (where people in the community can play Go for fun), and ended up playing Go with Akira, who was in the same generation as Hikaru.
As a result, Hikaru won, after playing it as Sai advised.
However, Akira, only an elementary school student, was a genius Go player, who could beat even pro-Go players.
Akira, who lost by Hikaru, who had never played it before, challenged Hikaru for another game. Sai, who was able to feel Akira’s high skills, led Hikaru to the Go world, telling him to accept the offer.
This title went viral especially because it gave us a perfect explanation about the game itself and also depicted the skilled mind games too~!! I remember so many people were influenced by this title and they even joined the Go club too!!
Not only is it interesting as the story itself but we can also see how Hikaru and Sai grow and improve themselves together! I would definitely recommend this title! If you want to enjoy learning both Go and Japanese, give it a try!
