Aeria Games has announced that it has partnered with Viz Media for an in-game item offer for its free-to-play casual fantasy MMORPG Pi Story.

Users who purchase the October issue of Viz Media's monthly shojo (girl's) manga magazine Shojo Beat will be able to use a code from within the issue to unlock virtual items – such as a "Moko panda hat and shirt" within the game. Players will first have to ensure their game is up to date to the most current version 25 update.

According to the release, Shojo Beat primarily appeals to the "older, female" consumer who "loves to play video games" and is the largest circulation shojo manga magazine published in the United States.
