VIZ SHOJO BEAT is an imprint of American publisher Viz Media that tells character-driven romance, fantasy and comedy for teens and adults. SHOJO is a demographic classification of manga across all genres aimed at young girls between the ages of 10-18. However, like all demographic classifications, this manga can be enjoyed by any demographic.
