In [Ixrec's Guide to
Japanese](https://web.archive.org/web/20171105092420/https://amaterasu.tindabox.net/guide/),
I have been looking at learning to read Japanese. It says that after learning
the alphabet, I should get a dictionary, some kind of source material, and a
translation for it.

While the guide included source material dissections, I want to start getting
source material myself for when I run out of what's in the guide. One of the
points about getting source material is that

> above all else, you should enjoy reading the translated version

and below that suggest series serialized in the _Shonen Jump_ magazines. Since
of course, I want to avoid scanlations which could be inaccurate, I figured I
should aim for series I know have been officially released in English. Three
series that come to mind are _Naruto_ , _One Piece_ , and _Bleach_.

All I know of _Shonen Jump_ , apart from the target demographic, is that
weekly issues have 1 chapter of a series serialized in them while tankōbon
compiles these chapters (though I could be wrong).

I am wondering if there is a site where I can look up what chapters were
serialized in what issue of _Shonen Jump_ to then match magazine issues to
English tankōbon.

NOTE: the reason why I want to get _Shonen Jump_ magazines instead of Japanese
tankōbon is because at first, I may only be on 1 or 2 chapters and I'm sure
the magazines take less space than a book. Also, it'll be a good test with the
rest of the magazine as to how much of it I can understand without needing a
translation to confirm.

question
resources shonen-jump
Where can I find a list of Shonen Jump issues which also lists what series was printed?


**[Jajanken - Weekly Shonen Jump Lab](https://www.jajanken.net/en/) provides a
database of series published in the magazine.**

As far as I have seen, it allows:

  * Browsing [per issue](https://www.jajanken.net/en/years) to see which serieses and chapters are published, and
  * Browsing/searching per series to see which issues and chapters they are published 
    * [_Naruto_](https://www.jajanken.net/en/sakuhins/QvL0BVl0NV)
    * [_One Piece_](https://www.jajanken.net/en/sakuhins/aAg89lnKZQ)
    * [_Bleach_](https://www.jajanken.net/en/sakuhins/Qv1nJDx0jK)

If you want to see the cover and the list of comics which were serialized in
the current issue, you could use "Comicvine" website, it has a huge collection
of covers for certain manga (JP) and comic (US) books
