I often get asked by people why I write about Hana to Yume so much or at all. Hana to Yume is home to some of the most popular ground-breaking manga of modern times. The family of magazines has been around for several decades and has been home to such hits as Glass Mask, Fruits Basket, Yona of the Dawn, Skip-beat, Gakuen Alice, Vampire Knight, and well the list just goes on and on. It was a huge part of my life since I was growing up even when I was unfamiliar with its name as an early teen.
Over years and years my fascination with the label has grown more and more. It’s been a cornerstone of girls comics in Japan for a long time with incredible sales. My hope is to show people overseas just how monumental this magazine family is to manga. Mostly though this is just an excuse for me to gush about my favorite family of comics magazines and share the joy with others. That and my love of Sailor Moon and Harvest Moon. We must never forget those.
