Shoujo Jump

Shoujo Jump refers to bishonen characters, a staple of shoujo manga, appearing in shonen or seinen magazines. Of course, moe characters also count towards this trope if in a male-oriented manga.

See also Shonen Beat for shonen traits in *shoujo* manga. Bishoujo characters in shonen manga are inversions.

## Examples

* The Weekly Shonen Jump is the Trope Namer:
	+ RuroKen is the first deliberate example, a reason why the mangaka kept getting pressured by his editors to make the series more male-oriented.
	+ Yu Yu Hakusho has the bishonen Yusuke, but unlike *RuroKen*, this trope was not intentional.
	+ Yu-Gi-Oh! is mostly full of bishonen characters, though Joey and Tristan (as they are called in the English dub) are the obvious exceptions.
	+ Hikaru no Go: The titular character is bishonen. And learns to play Go the first time he does so.
	+ Dr. Slump: Though the main focus is Arale Norimaki (who does not fit this trope), Senbei Norimaki can become bishonen (at least in the anime) through an art shift.
	+ Another Akira Toriyama example is final form Frieza. Same with Perfect (and Super Perfect) Cell.
	+ JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for part 5 onward and the anime. This effect shows even in the seinen-aimed installments.
	+ Haikyuu!!. Aside from being a shonen-aimed volleyball manga, the volleyball team is bishonen as well. This, after shoujo volleyball anime such as *Attack No. 1* and *Attacker You!* have already ended.
	+ Lycopene the Tomatoy Poodle takes this trope to its extreme, due to its Sanrio-esque art style. Makes you wonder why it isn't run in a shoujo magazine instead.
* The Manga Time Kirara:
	+ *Doujin Work*. The art style looks like it came right out of Jewelpet Twinkle. And keep in mind, the Manga Time Kirara is a *seinen* magazine.
	+ K-On! is more notable, since it actually *did* air on the Japanese Disney Channel.
	+ "Smile! Sweet! Sister! Sadistic! Surprise! Service!"
* A rare example of Shoujo Jump in an anime aimed at girls would be the boys (sans the wolf) being bishonen (or at the very least moe) in Maple Town. Though that came eight years before RuroKen.
* Speaking of which, Haru from Beastars (an inversion) looks like she moved right from Maple Town.
* Galaxy Angel is an inversion, except for the bishonen chief.
* Himouto! Umaru-chan inverts this with Umaru... when she's hiding the fact she's an otaku. Otherwise...
* Lucky Star
* Every single male lead in Rumiko Takahashi's manga (such as Inuyasha and Boy Ranma) *except* for Ataru. Granted, Takahashi was a female mangaka for *Shonen Sunday*, so this isn't much of a surprise.
	+ Inuyasha himself is the most bishonen lead in a Takahashi manga.
* Speaking of the Weekly Shonen Sunday, Goro of Major. His father, too.
* Chi's Sweet Home is one of the most notorious examples of this trope in seinen manga.
* *Ojamajo Doremi*: The anime series was made for girls, but was only about as girly as *Pretty Cure* is. The light novels, on the other hand, are made for the *shonen* audience, and since the light novels were being based off of a *shoujo* franchise, this was bound to happen.
* Likewise, *Onegai My Melody High School~* is also aimed at a *shonen* audience, despite being based off of a Sanrio character whose anime was intended for girls.
* *Show by Rock!!* was intended for a male audience. But with its cutesy character designs- Cyan in particular looks like a *Jewelpet* cat in Myomon form, at least in the games and anime- and the fact that Sanrio was involved in the creation of it, this is par for the course.
