It's a crazy thing. I really never paid attention to it when I would see Shojo Beat. I was never really into reading mangas lol. But I finally bought the August Issue mainly cause the girl on the cover looked amazing (Vampire Knight). So I read Beauty Pop loved it, then read Vampire Knight and wow. So now I'm collecting mangas from Shojo Beat such as: Beauty Pop, NANA, Crimson Hero and Skip Beat!. I'm waiting for Vampire Knight and I'll be getting 'Punch!' very soon. Punch is the same creator of 'Happy Hustle High' or H3 as they called in the manga lol. But I have more collections a lot more. From other companies but manga is taking over my life and my bookshelf lol. MANGA IS GREAT!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I can't wait for vol.2 of Vampire Knight to be released. And Nana vol.5, I say I'm becoming a big fan of Ai Yazawa-sensei's work. I love ParaKiss and Nana, and I really with they release Kagen no Tsuki (Last Quarter). I have the dvd thanks to gofer goddess. It's a great movie, oh and on youtube they have the Nana movie there too. I hope they release the dvd to america soon. One I want to get is Kamikaze Girls again Gofer Goddess showed that one to me. Funny stuff Yazawa-sensei comes up with. Ja-ne!

I enjoy all of the stories in SB except for Baby & Me. I just don't like it. Absolute Boyfriend & NANA are tied for my favorite in the Magazine.

The Shojo Beat Manga titles are good too:

Meru Puri (4 volumes written by the mangaka that does Vampire Knight)
Ouran Host Club (Of course! That manga is the best)
Tail of the Moon
Punch!
Skip Beat
Beauty Pop
Godchild

I have subscribed to SB since the first year. That way I didn't have to miss an issue.

Lol, I've read up to volume 4 of Vampire Knight! XD (But....only volume 1 is available......how can that be, you ask?! The answer is clear: connections. )
