These are the 'Big Three' manga publishers in Japan. Kodansha publishes *Weekly Shōnen Magazine* and *Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine*, Shueisha publishes *Weekly Shōnen Jump* and *Shōnen Jump+*, and Shogakukan publishes *Weekly Shōnen Sunday* and *Weekly Shōnen Magazine*. They are the largest and most influential publishers, and many of the most popular manga series are published by one of these three companies.
