The Jump part doesn't make a ton of sense if you're a native English speaker but that's just how English is used in Japan. Shonen manga is manga targeted at young boys (although exactly how young shonen means is up for debate).
shojo: young girls

I think its kinda like the Latin words 'etiam' and 'quoque.' Both mean 'also' but you use them in different situations. Right?

I think they're for different types of squid but I'm not really an expert on different types of squid, seeing as I don't eat it, so I can't really give a clearer definition. Or can I? Actually, now that I think about it... Judging by the contest I see the words used in, I'm gonna say that...
