Shojo Beat
 |
Shojo Beat is a shōjo manga magazine published in North America by VIZ Media. Shojo Beat is targeted toward older teenage girls, hence the magazine's "T+" (meaning 16 and over) rating. The word "shojo" means "girl" in Japanese.
Shojo Beat began serialization in August 2005, featuring Nana Komatsu of NANA on its cover. Since then, the magazine has undergone numerous changes in its development. New sections such as "Girl Hero", about girls who are making a difference; new fashion columns and a new "Beat Girl" almost replacing the old mascot Moko the panda have appeared in the serial.
