Shuiesha announced that they will be organizing briefing sessions aimed at experienced manga authors interested in publishing their works in Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump on November 1. Along with the announcement, Shueisha also revealed their per-page manuscript fees for serialized and one-shot manga published by novice authors in Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump. The decision to officially disclose how much they pay their authors, as well as the surprisingly high sums revealed, have caused a sensation among the public as well as the mangaka community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shueisha is a big-name Japanese publishing company that runs the long-standing manga anthology Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump. The magazine has included many of Japan\u2019s most iconic manga titles such as Dragon Ball back in the 80s, as well as modern-day best-sellers such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer. Shueisha has found some of its best talent through the Jump Newcomer Manga Award and through welcoming beginner mangaka to submit their ideas, but they have also had success with titles by more experienced mangaka as well. It seems that this time around, Shueisha is keen on getting more artists to come over to Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 1, Shueisha started an initiative to encourage manga authors experienced with other publishers to publish their works in Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump. They announced that they will be organizing informative briefing sessions aimed at professional mangaka that will be held face-to-face on November 21 and December 2 and remotely via Zoom on December 3. According to the official website<\/a> opened together with the announcement, Shueisha had been increasingly receiving inquiries from artists from other magazines in recent years, which contributed to their decision to hold the briefings. The briefings will include 1-on-1 Q&A sessions and authors will be able to present their new project ideas and receive feedback.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, among the details listed on the site for those wishing to apply for the event, a certain set of information that was revealed piqued the interest of a much wider audience \u2013 the manuscript fees for manga published in Weekly Sh\u014dnen Jump. According to the site, Jump pays beginner manga artists a minimum of 18,700 yen (approx. $125) per black-and-white page, and upwards of 28,050 yen (approx. $187) per full-color page for both serialized manga and one-shots. A remark at the bottom of the page states that in cases where an author\u2019s manuscript fee at a previous publisher was higher, adjustments are to be made with the editor in charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
