“Shonen Jump +” one-shot anime project has begun! Produced by WIT STUDIO, Production IG and CONTRAIL

The manga magazine app Shonen Jump+ is currently undertaking various projects to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its launch in September 2024. This time, the new “Shonen Jump + One-Shot Anime Project” has been launched. Animation production companies WIT STUDIO, CONTRAIL, and Production IG will be making one film each.

“Shonen Jump+” began service in September 2014. So far, they have released popular titles such as “SPY x FAMILY”, “Kimetsu No. 8” and “Dandadan”, and the total number of downloads has exceeded 30 million.
The app also distributes a large number of one-shot manga, including serialized manga, with over 2,000 works in total. These include popular films such as “Lookback.”

The “Shonen Jump + One-Shot Anime Project” has recently begun, in which three one-shot manga works are made into anime by different studios. Without being bound by the number of episodes or length, the film will be adapted into a form that suits the manga, and new forms of expression will be proposed.
The participating studios are WIT STUDIO, CONTRAIL, and Production IG. WIT STUDIO is a studio that has released anime based on manga, such as “SPY x FAMILY” and “Attack on Titan,” CONTRAIL is a studio that has released anime based on manga such as “In This Corner of the World,” and Production IG is a studio that has produced anime based on manga such as “Haikyu!!” and “Kaiju No. 8.”

JOEN will be responsible for planning the project. JOEN is a production company founded with a joint investment between CloverWorks and WIT STUDIO, and has been planning and production with a variety of studios, producers and creators.
This first release is scheduled to be released in theaters, and will be streamed worldwide after that. Details of the project, including which one-shot works will be adapted into anime, will be announced at a later date. It’s important to note the new attempts made by Shonen Jump+ and the anime production company.

[Comment from the planning staff for “Shonen Jump + One-Shot Anime Project”]
“Shonen Jump +” has published many one-shot works. The number is over 2000. Why have you published so many works? There are many reasons, one of them was “I want to discover the talents of manga artists.” Many new writers have tried to do one-shots and have expressed their feelings and passion for pure manga. And many manga have been created that are popular among readers. This time, the talent in the anime world will further refine the sparkle of that talent. What’s more, there were so many powerful studios that gathered there. The finished anime must be interesting too! We will gradually bring you information, so please look forward to it.
