The Gay Couple Shonen Jump Suppressed

Extended Version of This Video (with no beeps):   / krispnatz   Weekly Shonen Jump has made a name for itself as a manga magazine that across the decades has produced countless hit shonen anime known and beloved by a global audience. While mostly known for their "battle shonen" action anime, Jump manga have proliferated way outside of this singular genre and serialized countless hits from a wide variety of genres with appeal to a much wider audience than the intended adolescent boys the shonen demographic connotes. However while Shonen Jump is a brand that continues to grow and expand its reach and appeal, it has yet to make notable progress when it comes to depicting characters from the LGBT Community although it is not as if Jump's creatives haven't tried to do so before. Today we will dig into the torrid history of Shonen Jump and highlight one mangaka in particular who made a conscious effort to portray Shonen Jump's first gay couple in the late 2000's but who's efforts were ultimately squashed by Jump Editorial.
