Although Shonen Jump’s color scheme is varied, it still manages to use the Color Feature Channel, highlighting the various sections with “bursts” of contrasting hues. The intensity of the blue, green and purple highlights further draw the eye to what they frame, keeping a balance to be pleasing to the eye. Red also figures into the structure, as its used both as a frame and to highlight various points of interest. The burst shapes both use the Shape Feature Channel – furthermore, the lines draw the eye to the face of the character on the left, and centralize the gaze with the one on the right. Also, although all the shapes in and of themselves are unique, there’s a kind of uniformity insofar as both the bursts and the spikes maintain a passive similarity. Size and placement likewise play their roles - although the two sections below are important, the most space, and the position at the top, is given to the new manga appearing next month.
