	WireTap Magazine - U.S. Teenage Girls Prefer Japanese Heroes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Shojo manga has numerous sub-genres, from yaoi (focusing on relationships between gay male characters) to science fiction and fantasy.
		Characters in manga, and especially shojo manga, cope with loneliness, moving to new cities (sometimes in other dimensions), falling in love and chasing after workplace success, whether the workplace is in a restaurant, a rock club or a space station.
		Created in 1952, shojo got its start in Japan with "Princess Knight" about a young princess whose parents raise her as a boy to ensure they have a viable male heir to the throne.

		This doesn't mean Shojo is devoid of action, though.
		Shojo romances, by contrast, frequently involve the heroine finding love early in the series, then stick around to watch the couple work through trouble in their relationship.
		Shojo is technically a demographic (usually identifed by the time slot or magazine a story runs in) and shows so classified can fit into any "standard" genre, up to and including martial arts and science fiction.

		Shojo Beat as a magazine is part shojo manga with many flavors and it is equal parts shojo culture with editorials, ads and omake for the English reading shojo (and their friends).
		Shojo Beat might not be seeing the sales that SJ is seeing, however that has not meant that the line is in trouble.
		Shojo Beat is still obviously young but its looking for friends (go to their myspace) and they have a solid base to work with.

	ICv2 News - Shojo Manga and Anime--Big Business in Japan
		Shojo titles embrace a wide variety of genres including fantasy, historical romance, adventure, contemporary romance, suspense, humor, science fiction, and even horror, all unified by one key element -- the central "viewpoint" character is female.
		Shojo manga titles also spawned numerous anime versions, which have greatly enhanced the appeal of the genre both in Japan and abroad where anime titles like Sailor Moon have been the standard bearers for the entire shojo genre.
		Though the first generation of shojo creators were overwhelmingly male, female creators quickly took over to such an extent that by the1980s male creators would typically adopt a female pseudonym when working on shojo projects, a practice that continues to some degree to this day, though not all artists do it.

		Nobara is a great protagonist, a bit of a tomboy who transfers high schools so she can join a well-known women’s volleyball team, even as her family wants her to give up sports and help run a dining establishment that their family has owned for multiple generations.
		Last but not least, Shojo Beat has a handful of articles; some of them are about the history related to the different settings, talking about 1860s Japan or Victorian Era England, giving a bit of context to the readers.
		If Shojo Beat’s series hook a whole new audience of readers who are going to their favorite store for their monthly fix, it succeeded marvelouslyâ”and I think it’s going to do just that.

	ICv2 News - Shojo Update
		So a shojo title that meets the definition of having been marketed to girls in Japan might be inappropriate for a juvenile audience in North America.
		Some would argue that shojo titles are only those that originally appeared in an anthology directed at girls in Japan (whether those titles would carry a "mature" label in North America or not).
		It's worth noting that comics for girls and comics for women are two different things in Japan, and that comics for women, which tend toward psychological thrillers and other story-lines rooted in the real world, have not made their way in translated form to North America yet.

	Shojo Beat
		While we expect that a great many of you have been reading manga (shojo or otherwise) for years, we also have an inkling that a few of you may not know what manga is (shocking!) or why you should care about reading it.
		Shojo manga are often characterized by a moody, abstract art style, with close-ups of characters' faces intermingling with dreamy backdrops.
		Note: The word shojo normally appears with a circumflex or macron over the first o, as in shôjo; we removed it for the sake of simplicity and readability in the magazine.

		Zen Buddhists therefore believe it preferable to be born into the human world and to practice Zazen with the aim of ultimately becoming Buddha.
		The third type of Zen is shojo, literally meaning "Small Vehicle." This is the vehicle or teaching that is to take you from one state of mind (delusion) to another (Enlightenment).
		Hence shojo is a Zen which looks only to one's own peace of mind (see Pratyeka Buddha).

		I don't usually speak to the price of a publication because it is the quality of the comic that matters and not its cost, but at $7.99 (Canadian), Shojo Beat is a worthwhile monthly purchase considering the quality of the majority of the stories within and the sheer quantity of its pages.
