While Shojo Beat magazine may have been discontinued, that doesn’t mean that something else cannot fill the hole it left. Currently there is no English magazine that focuses directly on shojo manga.. We are attempting to start a magazine project, named ShojoBerry, to do just that, primarily due to the demise of Shojo Beat.. It will be several months before we have anything ready, but if you’re interested, it might be worth checking out! You can find us at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/ShojoBerry/11539330... (facebook page) or at: http://shojoberry.com (under construction) Hope to see you there! -Garrett

Oh my gosh, I am so mad that they ended the magazine! It's probably the ONLY shojo magazine in the U.S., and has all the best shojo series! And then they try to replace it with Shonen Jump? Seriously?! I am not a fan of shonen manga. But I love shojo manga that gets delivered to my house every month- but I guess that's not gonna happen anymore. Don't you think it's horrible? That was my favorite magazine. Sorry for all the complaining, I just want it back.

This is a bad move IMO by Viz. the Shojo Beat mag has caused me to buy more series that i usually would have. Mostly titles i wouldn't usually buy, but I've read in the mag and went on to buy.

Wounder what the motivation for canceling it is, since from what I've seen it sells really well on both sides of the ocean.

Even worse, offering a Shonen Jump in it's place lol that's stupid. The two are totally different mags aimed at two totally different audiences.

That said i wonder if they're going to merge the two into a single larger magazine, much like Yen Plus is. I know they considered doing that before
