I know that Viz translates the Shonen Jump magazine as it is released, but I'm
not a _massive_ fan of shonen, so I was wondering if there are any other manga
magazines that are/have been published in English?

shonen-jump
Are there other English versions of weekly manga magazines besides Shonen Jump?


I had [asked a similar question in
chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/10422500#10422500) a
little while ago and did some research myself on the subject.

Viz no longer publishes Shonen Jump, as it has gone entirely digital. Viz also
used to publish [Shojo Beat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shojo_Beat) which
ended its publication run in 2009. Before that, they published _Manga Vizion_
(1995), a manga anthology that ran for 4 years, _Pulp_ (1997), which was the
same thing but aimed at adults and ran for 5 years.

More general publications like
_[Animerica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animerica)_ or _[New Type
USA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewType_USA)_ (by A.D. Vision, counterpart
of the Japanese "New Type" magazine) contained news and some serialized manga.
When A.D.V shut down, the magazine was replaced by _PiQ_ , which was even less
about anime/manga and only lasted 4 issues. There's also _Anime Insider_
published by Wizard which contained some manga previews but it's mostly a news
magazine and _Protoculture Addicts_ published by Protoculture, Inc. which
covers anime and manga news and is readily available in Europe. It's now part
of Anime News Network.

I think the only manga magazine that's still in print today is _Otaku USA_
which claims to publish 32 pages of manga previews. According to [its
wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku_USA):

> After the shutdown of NewType USA in February 2008, Anime Insider in March
> 2009, and the discontinuation of Protoculture Addicts since August 2008,
> Otaku USA is the only remaining anime news magazine published for the North
> American market.

Since it only contains previews of manga, it's not a viable option if you want
serialized publications of manga in English.
