The magazine's core target group is older schoolchildren, students and trainees.

Another sister magazines are Ultra Jump , Grand Jump and Jump X . The Miracle Jump has been published monthly as a special edition since 2013 , which mainly contains short stories and subplots to the series of the main magazine, but also a few of its own series, as well as Aoharu at irregular intervals .
