* ''Newtype USA''
* The Japanese magazine ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' has existed since 1969, and it has had many changes over the years. In the 1970s and '80s, it included series that seem shockingly violent or obscene now, such as ''Harenchi Gakuen'', ''[[Mazinger Z]]'', ''[[Space Adventure Cobra]]'', ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', and ''[[Bastard!!]]'' Since the mid-1980s, it's become more acceptable to include [[Kid Hero]] characters, [[Bishonen]], and [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]. Some of these trends may be due to attempts to reach a [[Periphery Demographic]] of girls, including [[Yaoi Fangirl|BL fans]].
** The English version, after roughly 10 years of print, is canceling its print edition and switching to digital-only distribution in early 2012.
