-Shoujo Beat No More-

In a total WTF?! WHY? move, the popular anthology magazine from Viz, Shoujo beat is no more.
Shoujo Beat was an anthology magazine with chapters of manga inside. All the manga were aimed at female readers.
I was wondering why I couldn’t find the august edition…or the september edition…cause July was the last one!

“The final issue of Shojo Beat magazine will be the July 2009 issue which is on newsstands June 16th.

We are very proud of the past issues of Shojo Beat magazine and the efforts of the entire team. The magazine developed quite a fan base but unfortunately in today’s difficult economic climate we felt the need to place our resources elsewhere at this time.

Of course all of our great shojo manga titles previously serialized in Shojo Beat magazine will still be published and available as graphic novels under the Shojo Beat imprint from VIZ Media.

Each Shojo Beat Subscriber will be receiving a free copy of the August issue of
SHONEN JUMP magazine with the pertinent information on what their subscription/refund options will be.”

-From Shoujo Beat website

So yeah. I hate the recession now cause it just ate my favourite anthology.
Not to mention Chapters stopped carrying Yen Plus.
BUT WHY THE HELL IS SHOUNEN JUMP STILL ALIVE?! -screams and throws things-
I’m going to go wallow for a bit and then sleep. This is Bullsh*t.

Zen’s unearthly charm attracts a veritable rogues’ gallery. A bounty hunter becomes obsessed enough to become his new partner, while the daughter of General treats him like some sort of guru. But when he meets a mysterious doctor who may know him from the past, Zen learns that the secret of his lost memory is definitely more sinister.

-A message from Kitteh-

Hi guys, I know not many people are following me but I just wanted to chat a little.
As you know I don’t post very often. I’m now in a film and television production program in college so things are a bit busy.
Plus with a 2 hour bus ride home everyday and waking up at 6:30am SUUUCCCKKKS.
SO I’ll make a deal with you guys. I’ll post at least 3 series during the week (Sunday). I’ll try and do more or even post them on different days but I can’t guarantee anything.
So about the last post being basically the same thing but I’m actually re-reading Snow Drop (which is in the picture above). As you can see if you look close enough, number 10 out of 12 is out and I just finished it so two more to go. (Gosh I love it!) So I haven’t really been reading anything else except that oneshot Vitamin.

Updates: I added a finished category so you can look for finished series. I’ll try and keep it up to date.
Expect a new layout soon. ;P

Picture: So the picture above is one of my three bookshelves. I only read shoujo so there you have shoujo heaven. I also have some in boxes and laundry hampers but they are all in plastics so I don’t worry about wrecking them. Just wanted to show that I AM qualified as a shoujo manga connoisseur. My other credentials include english class and media studies where I was forced to figure out WHY I liked/ didn’t like things, and retained the information.

Thanks for following me if you do!
Now I’ve got homework on Light and Image to do! Gah.

PS: If you have any series you would like me to review please leave the name as a comment in this post.
If you have any suggestions for anything else (layouts, categories, ect) Just ask!
