Smile (magazine)
Smile was a magazine aimed at teenage girls. The magazine was started in 1998.[1] At first it was supposed to be a mainstream teen mag similar to Seventeen,[citation needed] but with added manga; later, it became more focused on manga and removed most of its other features. It was published by Tokyopop based in Los Angeles.[citation needed] The magazine was discontinued in 2002.
Sailor Moon, Peach Girl, and Juline were serialized in the magazine.[2] Sailor Moon was originally serialized in MixxZine but Mixx moved it to Smile because Mixx wanted to refocus MixxZine towards high school and university/college-aged readers. Smile serialized the SuperS story arc, while earlier story arcs not finished in MixxZine were finished in individual comic book publications.[3]
