So, the biggest manga mag, "Shonen Jump", has finaly arrived in a store near me. Anyone has any thing to say about this mag? The first issue here contains Naruto, Shaman King and Yu-Gi-Oh.. is this the current issue everywhere, or are they just picking stuff on theyre own?

The birth of Shonen Jump heralded the end of my enjoyment of DragonBall (+ Z), as it was stupidly hard to get in the UK for the first few issues AND I objected to paying so much just for a tiny bit of a story I had been able to buy in standard comic format.
I'm sure it's a fab idea if you want to get a bunch of stories together as a taster but it killed my desire for DB.
If DB/Z isn't in it I'm guessing that they've started the series in Norway with the current issue, perhaps.

That sounds like the current run, Slightly. There should be one in there called Hikaru No-Go as well, plus whatever previews. I haven't actually picked up Shonen Jump in a while.

Just discovered that they are actually jumping from issue one to issue 60 of Yu-Gi-Oh, "To catch up with the tv series".. Now thats just stupid.. Just hoping they wont do the same thing with Naruto..
