** Well known for their rather large female fanbase, to the point where one reader poll found that female readership was around 52%. So well known, in fact, that it was the fandom terminology used for homoerotic doujins about their properties (''Captain Tsubasa'', ''Slam Dunk'', and ''Saint Seiya'') that led to the term {{Yaoi}} being used as fanspeak.

* MemeticLoser: The manga ''U19'' released in 2017 in ''Jump'' became quite infamous in the western audience for its IronicDeath (being CutShort by the magazine in only 18 weeks/17 chapters, in other words "''Under 19''"). Since then, the 19th chapter of new series is considered a very iconic milestone by the fans. Series failing to reach it become part of the dreaded "U19 Club", which happens fairly often due to ''Jump''[='=]s ruthless editorial department.[[note]]Between 2017 and 2021, no less than '''15''' series have been "U19ed", and that's not counting the handful of series that died in 19/20 chapters and technically don't count nor the ''hundreds'' of manga that suffered this fate the prior decades before the meme.[[/note]]

** Part of the reason BishonenJumpSyndrome is attributed to ([[TropeNamer and named after]]) them is because of recruiting artists that seemingly tweak their characters' body types to match female standards of male beauty (skinnier physique, thin lips, chiseled face, luscious hair, etc) in order to capture more female readers.

** Zig-zagged with Shonen Jump+. It has way looser restrictions since it is a web publication. However, it aimed at a more general audience than its print counterpart, with some of the manga are clearly not aimed at teen boys.

* {{Misblamed}}: Late 2010s and early 20s saw Jump in the west get a reputation for cutting short promising new series before they really get a chance to get a footing or a fanbase, like ''Manga/PhantomSeer'' and ''Manga/TheHuntersGuildRedHood''. Truth is, this has more to do with the west finally being able to keep up with the Japanese releases through the app and site for the magazine being available internationally. Shounen Jump has always been a bit ruthless with cutting short series that fail to meet expectations, and has in fact been cancelling ''less'' in recent years.

** Jump SQ is a strange case, since it's classified as both a shonen and a seinen magazine. Their age demographic is a lot higher than Weekly Shounen Jump, as they aim more towards high schoolers and young adults rather than late elementary to middle schoolers. And it shows, as they are allowed to get away with more sexual content than your average WSJ series.

* TheFireflyEffect: A lot of people in the western audience refuse to read anything in ''Jump'' until it is a confirmed hit in Japan. Though a bit unfair to new series, many have been disappointed before by investing themselves in CutShort manga without any ways to show their support which traditionally are "voting in the readers' survey" and "buying the physical release". Both are reserved to the Japanese market before the rest of the world could have a say on the matter which can make early western fans feel helpless and stressed.
