I’m the one who usually talks about how piracy hurts what we can publish, but this time read Maggie Stiefvater’s fascinating account of what happens to series when people pirate books: https://officialshojobeat.tumblr.com/post/167029095059/maggie-stiefvater-ive-decided-to-tell-you-guys

The other Shojo Beat editors and I wrote around 60 posts talking about the manga series we’ve been working on this past year. Have you been reading them as you follow along? You can find them on this account.

This year I started working on amigurumi and craft books to bring those amazingly cute patterns from Japan here. The San-X book will be the first one released in July under the VIZ Media imprint. I’m very excited about them, and I hope you will be too! :)

We just announced Shortcake Cake this week (yay!), and there will be more new manga announcements for 2018 coming in the new year. Stay tuned! 

Thank you as always for your continued support of Shojo Beat!
