Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ iOS App in Japan Restricts s to s Aged 17+
posted on by Kim Morrissy
Sad news for the children who read manga on Shonen Jump's digital iOS Shonen Jump+. As of the most recent update on August 13, s under the age of 17 are locked out of using the app. The app was previously able for s over the age of 12.
s were informed of the change in an update on August 7. The update advised s that all purchased content would still be accessible on the web browser version of the service, but noted that this was only guaranteed for ed s.
Jump+ was home to racier content than the DARLING in the FRANXX, but the irony that a publication aimed primarily at young boys has locked that demographic out of using the app altogether was not lost on its s, who have reacted to the news with amusement.

As of the publication of this article, the Android app of Jump+ is still rated for ages 12+, as is the English version of the app Manga Plus.
Shonen Jump+ first launched in January.
