Viz to Launch Shoujo Beat in June

Fans of anime are discussing the news of the new Viz anthology featuring shoujo manga here, although like me they can't find the original linked-to story in the LA Times, either. Because of the size and reach of Viz's Shonen Jump, the new magazine will be publishing news if it does as well a expected or whether it underperforms.

imageThe usual round-up of publicity-driven articles popping up here and there on Dark Horse making use of the popular novelizations of the Vampire D series led me to the DH Press releases page. As one might guess, DH Press is one of two Dark Horse book imprints, which should lead to the kind of cross-market exploitation of properties that other companes enjoy without the books looking random, odd and sort of lost amid the other comics-related offerings.

Update: Luckily, Pam Noles is much more clever than I am (subscription may be required).
