As a Youth Services Librarian, I receive occasional sample copies of these two publications. Basically, each features half a dozen installments of on-going manga series. Shojo Beat is apparently aimed at girls, and Shonen Jump at boys. (For example, I have a copy of Shojo Beat that features seven on-going stories: Millenium Snow, Vampire Knights, Crimson Hero, Backstage Prince, Baby and Me, Abolute Friends, and Nana. It also has articles about pop culter, fashion, artist/author interviews, and so on.)
Presumably these two titles belong in a Young Adult section, rather than a children's section of a library. Is anyone familiar with these titles? I'm considering a subscription to both of them. The couple of issues I've seen of each seem acceptable for a public library setting, but I haven't been reading either title on a regular basis. Also, is there a publication like this aimed at younger readers?
