Oh I got it just a few days ago! I have only read a few pages of it though...I don't seem to find the time to read as much as I would like to or used to. But whave I've read and seen when I skimmed through it...it looks great!

I really am thinking of buying a subscription to it!

My favorite was probably Crimson Hero followed by Godchild but Absolute Boyfriend was definately the funniest.Her flashback scene totally cracked me up

Godchild had the points for the weirdest...that was for sure. And had really good art. I do have to say I was intrigued enough that reading the next chapter sounds fun.

Sounds like an English version of Ribon.....I'll have to check it out.

Ribon? What's that about? Which one compares to it?

Ribon is a Japanese manga magazine, it's about 350-400 pages and usually has about 10 different manga in it. The ones that are in Shojo Beat sounds like ones that would have been published in Ribon.

Oh I see! Sounds cool!! And you should check it out! I just made a check out so I can have a subscription to it! I'm excited to read more....at a discount.

Anyone else subscribing?

So I just got my hands on an exclusive shojo beat preview, it looks really good, especially Absolute Boyfriend. Reminds me of Ayashi No Ceres, heh, well of course it does. Yuu Watasi created that too. Has anyone ever heard of Ayashi No Ceres?

Hey! Shojo Beat Issue 2 is out!! I just picked it up today!! Everyone run and grab it!!

Oh and was I the only one that wasn't aware that tehy were doing a manga too? The manga book style they are doing has a completely differnet set of manga in it! I am very tempted to buy it.

Anyway, just wanted to let those who care...know its there!!

Gah, I can't belive more people haven't gotten this!! *weeps*

Though reading manga this way makes me feel so let down. Its all too short. I just get into reading it and bam...its done!

I bought this about two weeks ago, well the first one my favourites in order are Nana(I LOVE IT!!!), Godchild(I love the mystery surrounding Count Cain and the way it's in the victorian period after my friends finished reading it she called me up to tell me how much she loved it!), Absolute Boyfriend(Yuu Watase is my favourite manga creator!), Baby and Me, Crimson Hero and Kaze Hikaru. I can't wait to get the second!

I love Yu Watase!!!!!! My favourtie manga (in order) is Ayashi no Ceres (Ceres Celestial Legend), Absolute Boyfriend, Imadoki (Nowadays), Alice 19th, and Fushigi Yugi (The Mysterious Play)!!!!! Shojo Beat rocks!!! CAIN AND RIFF ARE SOOOOOO COOL!!! Shaman King, DN Angel, Gundam Seed, etc. rock too, but Yu Watase is my favourite manga artist/writer

hey, and is that quote from book 9, Lover, of Fushigi Yugi?

Well I got it from the Anime of Fushigi Yuugi, unfortunatly I haven't bought the 8th or 9th FY manga yet, hopefully after christmas.

Love Shojo Beats Manga's!
Right now i'm collecting nothing but Shojo's!

Yeah same here! My friends all bum the magazine off me cuz I'm the only one who buys it.

I'm foreign so no Monthly manga selections for me for me. *sniffs*

Ive got it too, but I like Soshi better than night..:P, I m working on getting the subscription.

Well i wouldn't know...I like Soshi as much as I like Night!
Their both hot and cute and handsome!

Gotta love both!

I like Soshi too! My friends all like night, but I think Soshi's cooler!

Hey hey!
Fans!
These past few days i've been looking at manga prices!
Look's like the prices are going down hill!
that means we're getting some of our manga books for cheaper!
^_^joy!^_-

That's Awesome!!!

Is anyone else pissed off that they're replacing Godchild?

with what?
NOOOO!
what are they doing?!?!?!?!

Vampire Knight I think, it's pretty good-I read the first chapter of it and loved it, just still a little dissapointed about them replacing Godchild

wha?! i heard no such thing! TT_TT I do like Vampire Knight though...mainly because of Zero X3

Zero is way awesome! My friend and I have theory that he's a vampire but for some reason, can be in the light.

heres a spoiler...









He IS a Vampire

They replcaed Kaze Hikaru too now-it's getting annoying. If they replace anything else before it's done I think I'm gonna quit buying it, I'll just buy the shojo beat mangas instead.
