Viz Magazines Add/Drop Features

Viz's popular Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat publications, not only popular comics anthologies but because of their newsstand distribution a pair of the most widely distributed comics magazines in North America, have announced or at least strongly suggested various forthcoming line-up changes.

* NANA will apparently leave Shojo Beat for graphic novels-only publication, and will be replaced by Chika Umino's mega-popular Honey and Clover. Baby & Me will be replaced by Mizuno Tooko's Harukanaru Toki no Naka de.

* According to this seemingly knowledgeable person whom I will trust for no particular reason, Shonen Jump will make a number of tweaks: more Naruto per issue, a jump forward in plotline to match that of the book's this fall, Shamen King ending before its time, Yu-Gi-Oh! completing its run exactly at its time, and a mysterious new feature.
