In response, publisher Shueisha turned towards digital distribution to attempt to reach out to a wider audience. Weekly Shōnen Jump reached a peak weekly circulation of 6.53 million copies in the 1990s, but the decline of print media has since been reducing readership. A Spanish version of the service launched in February 2019, and was followed by several other languages in the next two years. The first three chapters and the three most recent chapters of all titles on the platform are available for free, while all titles from Shonen Jump+ have all of their chapters for free, except in the United States where some are also limited to first and last three chapters, due to the license of some manga. Manga Plus publishes translated versions of new chapters from currently serialized manga in Weekly Shōnen Jump, a big portion of manga from the Shōnen Jump+ app/website, and some manga from Jump Square, Weekly Young Jump, Tonari no Young Jump and V Jump. It is available worldwide except in Japan, China, and South Korea which already have their own services, including Shōnen Jump+, the original Japanese service. Manga Plus (stylized as MANGA Plus) is an online manga platform and smartphone app owned by Shueisha that was launched on January 28, 2019.
