Development[]

Development of Marvel × Shōnen Jump+ Super Collaboration began in March 2019, in the lead-up to the release of the Marvel Studios film Avengers: Endgame[4][5] Cebulski noted that Shōnen Jump's focus on "action centered on characters, along with top-class creators that are supported by readers of all ages," as in series such as My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball.[5] He further stated that the collaboration was based on "mutual affection," with the editors of Shōnen Jump+ being fans of Marvel and Cebulski being a long-time fan of manga.[4]

Marvel × Shōnen Jump+ Super Collaboration is Marvel Comics' third collaboration with a Japanese manga publisher. In the 1970s, Marvel partnered with Kodansha to produce manga versions of its franchises, resulting in Spider-Man: The Manga, Hulk: The Manga, and X-Men: The Manga.[6] In 2017 and 2018, the company again partnered with Kodansha on a storyboard art contest, the winner of which received a cash prize and an ongoing serialization in the manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine.[7][8]

On March 3, 2019, Shōnen Jump publisher Shueisha announced that it would partner with Marvel Comics to produce Marvel × Shōnen Jump+ Super Collaboration, a manga series featuring Marvel characters.[4] The series, which was written and illustrated by Shōnen Jump-associated writers and artists, was released exclusively on the magazine's digital distribution platform Shōnen Jump+.[4] The series launched on September 3, 2019 with a manga by  [jp] illustrating an interview between Shōnen Jump+ editors and Marvel Comics editor-in-chief C. B. Cebulski.[4][8] The first chapter of Secret Reverse, a manga by Yu-Gi-Oh creator Kazuki Takahashi, was released the following day.[4][9][10] New titles were released in the subsequent months, with Marvel × Shōnen Jump+ Super Collaboration concluding with the second chapter of Secret Reverse on November 27, 2019.[4][11] A tankōbon volume collecting the series was published on February 4, 2020 under the magazine's Jump Comics+ imprint.[12]
