the demise of Shojo Beat

Dear Shojo Beat Subscriber,

We're sorry to inform you that VIZ Media has discontinued publication of Shojo Beat magazine. While we regret the news, we are happy to complete your subscription with Shonen Jump.

Or I can write to them for a refund.

How weird. I always thought magazines died more gradually, and the last issue seemed to be planning ahead as much as ever. Well, I'll let you all know how Jump is. I'm not expecting much from Yu-Gi-Oh, but Shojo Beat had some lame stuff too.

(Does this mean translated volumes will be coming out faster?)
