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 Dream story arc, while earlier story arcs not finished in MixxZine were finished in individual comic book publications.[3]
