Shueisha's MANGA Plus service announced earlier last week that it will begin simultaneously releasing one-shot manga titles from Shonen Jump+ in English, starting this September.
The one-shots will be free to read for the first 90 days. After that, they will be available as part of the MANGA Plus MAX Deluxe subscription package.

Shueisha notes that some works may not be published on the service, depending on the original author's wishes or “editorial judgment.” This is also the first time a manga magazine app has translated and released one-shots simultaneously in Japan and worldwide.
The MANGA Plus app service was launched by Shueisha on January 28, 2019 and is operated directly by the Japanese publisher's editorial department to directly support its creators. It features many titles from Weekly Shonen Jump, as well as select titles from Jump Square, Weekly Young Jump, Tonari no Young Jump, and V Jump.
In October 2023, Shueisha launched the MANGA Plus MAX subscription service with standard and premium plans.
MANGA Plus is available worldwide, except Japan, China, and Korea. It is available for download on iOS and Android devices.
