;D This Is Where All Us Shojo Beat Subscribers Can Talk. (Since We`re Most Likely More Up To Date.) So I Suppose In A Way, This Is Another Spoilers Thread.
It Seems That Shojo Beat Has Been Discontinued.
I Have NO Idea Why, But I Got A Letter, With A Shounen Jump Magazine... Here It Is:
Dear Shojo Beat Subscriber,
We`re sorry to inform you that VIZ Media has discontinued publication of Shojo Beat magazine.
While we regret the news, we are happy to complete your subscription with Shounen Jump.
Shounen Jump is the US counterpart to Weekly Shounen Jump, the most popular manga magazine in Japan. With seven serialized titles, including Naruto* and Bleach, you`ll continue to get all the drama you love, only with action and adventure to boot! Shounen Jump also packs in news on manga, anime, video games, and cool toys and merchandise. And with its monthly Nihongo lesson, you can keep learning Japanese words especially chosen for the manga fan.
Don`t worry, Shojo manga isn`t going away! You can continue to get the drama of Shojo Beat`s six serialized manga titles by purchasing the graphic novels. The volumes listed below pick up right where the last issue of Shojo Beat left off.
Crimson Hero volume 12 comes out January 2010.
Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time volume 5 comes out in August 2009.
Honey and Clover volume 8 comes out in December 2009.
Honey Hunt volume 8 comes out in November 2009.
Sand Chronicles volume 7 comes out in January 2010.
Vampire Knight volume 8 comes out in February 2010.

Targeted at women ages 16–18, the first issue of Shojo Beat launched with a circulation of 20,000 copies. By 2007, average circulation was approximately 38,000 copies, with half of its circulation came from subscriptions rather than store sales. It was well received by critics, who praised its mix of manga series and the inclusion of articles on Japanese culture, though some critics found the initial issues boring and poorly written. In May 2009, the magazine was discontinued and the July 2009 issue being the last released. Fans were disappointed, though many of them noted that they were not subscribers themselves. Industry experts felt the magazine's loss would leave female comic fans without a magazine of their own, but praised Viz for its choice to continue using the "Shojo Beat" imprint and branding for its shōjo manga and anime releases.
