Both digital services will offer users a ‘cheaper standard service’ that will start on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, providing an option for those who usually use both services.

However, both Shueisha and Netflix have not made any announcements on their official platforms, only that this information comes from a reliable but unofficial source of Shueisha news that often reposts or shares recent information.

Weekly Shonen Jump releases its issues every Monday, which could mean we will get full confirmation by September 16.

Some fans have noted that this could mean that all adaptations of Jump manga will be handled by Netflix, although this is mostly speculation as there has never been a joint subscription plan between manga publishers and streaming services like this in the past.

this kinda confirms that all future jump anime will be handled by netflix. Idk if its good or not

The collaboration would provide an easier means of accessing the most popular manga for the shonen demographic through Shueisha’s biggest magazine, yet there are also concerns that prices might be raised in either platform.
