   Well, it's Wikipedia entry w/o sources cited but I am guessing they must.    
   Jump is skewed toward younger readers than Magazine, Sunday, and Champion    
   and One Piece and Naruto are still very popular.  I have sampled One Piece    
   before but felt that the artist's inking style is very poor and all the    
   women have unrealistically large breasts.  I guess that's what kids are    
   after these days.  I read somewhere that Champion carries a lot of titles    
   starring deliquent youths and Sunday used to specialized in Love-Come    
   (romantic comedy).  I don't read these periodicals so I can be wrong...

   There are Big Comics (Original, Superior, Spirits) magazines and Morning,    
   Afternoon, and Evening (lazy naming) that are aimed at mature readers.  I    
   had no ideas such magazines exist until perhaps a decade ago but they are    
   thriving.  Big Comics have a lot of series that have been going on for over    
   30 years such as Golgo 13.   
      
   There are also "Young" versions of Jump and other magazines aimed for boys    
   in high schools and colleges.  These tend to carry titles that are raunchy    
   and violent such as Gantz.
