Sounds like Seventeen magazine with manga instead of celebrity coverage. O__o

I was never really into Shojo Beat's magazine form and now with all these new things that seem more like ads than anything is pushing me away a bit further. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

And what happen to the panda mascot? o.o

I think it's wonderful that a manga company is completely shifting the focus of a manga magazine away from manga and towards pointless stuff like this. After all, EVERY teenage girl cares about and likes the same things, don't they?

:D

And I thought Shojo Beat couldn't sink any lower... Rolling Eyes

Anyways, don't most girls who read manga not like teen pop magazines? I know I'm one, and my friends most definitely fit the stereotype...

Umm, no. >.> There are so many wrong things with that statement I would not know even where to begin. Maybe the ones that actually follow Shojo Beat (like a religion) fit that stereotype but if you haven't noticed, this world is filled with girls that want and do break from the typical mold.

Exactly.

Edit: Yeah, I figured that out after I posted. Anime catgrin + sweatdrop

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm....
