Honey and Clover launched in Japan's Cutie Comic in 2000, and Viz Media launched Honey and Clover in Shojo Beat in 2007. Viz published Four Shōjo Stories with Matt Thorn's translation in 1996.

Yep, Viz experimented a bit with shoujo manga back in 1996-1997. They published a few short stories by different mangaka and released these as an anthology TPB. The Japanese found this insulting, because the stories featured were all from wellkwown mangaka. Four Shoujo Stories was pulled off the shelves and it now quite rare. Supposedly, Viz still has several boxes stuffed away in a warehouse, but they're not allowed to sell them.

Viz also released A,A' by Moto Hagio and Love Song by Keiko Nishi. Banana Fish ran in Pulp, so I guess that was one of the early ones as well. In 1998 there was Animerica Extra, a manga anthology that focused on shoujo titles. After that, Viz released two dozen or so shoujo manga under their shoujo-label. With the conclusion of Red River, this label has probably obsolete, IIRC. Viz now labels all their shoujo manga as Shoujo Beat.

Honey & Clover wasn't even one of the first six titles in Shoujo Beat Laughing

I misread the article, thought it said they had just published it recently.

Yeah, pretty much. Ten years ago they finally started to grasp the concept of comics for girls and many shoujo manga were still marketed toward both genres. Most of the early shoujo manga from Viz were fantasy or science fiction stories instead of the genres that are now popular (romance, comedy, BL).

Viz's (old?) definition of shoujo manga:

Quote:
shô·jo (sho'jo) n. 1. Manga appealing to both female and male readers. 2. Exciting stories with true-to-life characters and the thrill of exotic locales. 3. Connecting the heart and mind through real human relationships.


Tokyopop was the first publisher to publish really girly stuff such as Sailor Moon, but they probably wouldn't have done it if the anime hadn't been a success.
