Awww... I liked reading Nana in SB, with the nice colour pages. It was one of the reasons I subscribed in the first place (but I am glad it'll release faster. I was holding off watching the anime until the corresponding chapter came out). I also liked Baby and Me, but not enough to buy the volumes. Oh well. Honey and Clover is great anyways, and I'll be happy to read it (...finally).

Absolute Boyfriend is 6 volumes long and they're at 4 right now, so yeah. Perhaps they'll keep it in there because of the short length of the series. |

Argh! I'll miss NANA and Baby & Me in SB. If anything, I'd rather see Crimson Hero dropped. Sports manga, even shojo sports manga, just isn't my thing.

I'm disappointed that NANA is going because I never had any intention of buying the English graphic novels. I've been reading the translations in Shojo Beat and buying the Japanese books (I have a weird buy pattern at times). I guess I'll just be reading the scanlations where SB drops off....
But Honey and Clover is awesome news. That's a series that I wouldn't mind buying the English and Japanese graphic novels of.

Well, geez. Nana's the reason I renewed my subsciption...though I was buying the collected volumes anyway, so from Viz's side this is a win.

Damnit, I liked Baby & Me. Once they're done with Absolute Boyfriend, I'm pretty much done with the mag, too. Nana was getting hit-and-miss, but I would've stuck with it over some dating sim crap. Man, I guess the change of editors also means a change from quality titles to mediocre ones. But if they want another Animerica Extra on their hands, they got it. Honey and Clover might be good, but methinks it'll be overrated tripe like Azumanga. Oh well, at least Baby & Me will get out faster...
Clover: I agree with you on Vampire Knight. It was getting good, but then, like Death Note, it started getting psychological instead of creepy, and it got boring. |

I'm disappointed that Shaman king won't get to run in Shonen Jump anymore but instead will only be in the graphic novel form when they are this close to the end. The November end manga will be Yu-Gi-Oh! Millenial World, but I have no idea what they'll put in there at that time.

Why're they ending SK in SJ?!
 I like both the SK anime and manga.

That's just it, there is no anime running on tv or in dvd format anymore in the US. So they are putting in Bobobobobo instead since it is running on CN. Of course, Bobobo really pisses me off as it is unfunny and unenjoyable whereas I have enjoyed every other series that has ever been in the collection. It's almost enough to want to drop the whole thing just because of Bobobo. |

Hopefully this means they'll be accelerating their GN releases o Shaman King, that series is really great in manga form.

At first I thought VK was pretty good, but the further I got into it, the more it started sounding like bad Vampire fanfiction. The only thing it's got going for it is beautiful artwork. |

Unfortunately it doesn't say the movie was acquired and it does say the anime was by Viz Europe. Is there info somewhere on the movie being acquired? I'm sad to see Nana go but it couldn't have been replaced with a better title. Honey & Clover is freaking awesome. |

I agree. I really hope they release Shaman King faster, too. But now that it's out of SJ magazine, I may drop my subscription... I only read it for Shaman King and Hikaru no Go, but I buy Shaman King and can always read the HnG GN's at the store... |

Thank the manga gods! Baby & Me is gone! I'm sorry, but I really disliked that series, it literally put me to sleep almost every time I read it and the art made my eyes water.
Nana I have mixed feelings about. I've been buying the graphic novels anyway, so that's cool, but I loved the pretty color illustrations and I think I'm just surprised it was finally booted out. I'm really looking forward to reading both new titles! |
