===Imprints===
With the launch of the ''Shojo Beat'' magazine, Viz Media created new imprints for its manga and fiction lines. The "Shojo Beat" imprint included series featured in the magazine as well as other {{Transliteration|ja|shōjo}} manga titles licensed by Viz after the magazine's conception. Viz began releasing a few Japanese [[light novel]]s under a "Shojo Beat Fiction" imprint that were related to its "Shojo Beat" manga titles.<ref name="VizNovels">{{cite web |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-06-04/viz-to-publish-novels |title=Viz to Publish Novels |publisher=[[Anime News Network]] |date=June 4, 2005 |access-date=March 7, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080327001455/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-06-04/viz-to-publish-novels |archive-date=March 27, 2008 }}</ref><ref name="VizNovels2">{{cite web |url=http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/6985.html |title=Viz Launches New Fiction Imprints |website=[[ICv2]] |publisher=GCO |date=June 6, 2005 |access-date=March 7, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080402070941/http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/6985.html |archive-date=April 2, 2008 }}</ref> In February 2006, Viz launched the "Shojo Beat Home Video" line for releasing [[anime]] titles primarily designed for female viewers. The first title under the new imprint was ''[[Full Moon o Sagashite]]'', the anime adaptation of the same titled manga that was also released by Viz. To promote the new anime line, Viz included a preview disc of the first volume of ''Full Moon'' in the June 2006 issue of ''Shojo Beat''.<ref name="SBVideo">{{cite web |url=http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/8244.html |title=Viz Launches Shojo Beat Home Video Line |website=[[ICv2]] |publisher=GCO |date=February 20, 2006 |access-date=March 7, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203192314/http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/8244.html |archive-date=December 3, 2008 }}</ref> Though the magazine itself has been canceled, Viz stated in May 2009 that it will continue releasing both existing and new series under the "Shojo Beat" manga and anime imprints.<ref name="Viz Confirms Cancellation" />
