Hana to Yume (花とゆめ, "Flowers and Dreams") is a semi-monthly Japanese shōjo manga magazine published by Hakusensha.

The magazine is of size B5, which is roughly the size of a phone book, and always comes with furoku or free supplements such as drama CDs, pencil boards, manga anthologies, stationery and calendars.

The magazine was ranked 4th by Japanese girls as their favourite manga anthology in a survey conducted by Oricon in 2006.[1][2]

While series from related magazines like Bessatsu Hana to Yume, LaLa, LaLa DX and Melody are also published under the same label, certain series from Melody are published under another different label, Jets Comics (ジェッツコミックス).

History

Hana to Yume began its publication as a monthly magazine in May 1974, with Kazuko Koyeno's illustration as the cover, with the price of 200 yen. However, in January 1975, its publication was changed from a monthly to a semi-monthly published magazine. The recent price has been 370 yen.

In 1976, 2 years after Hana to Yume was first published, LaLa (which was previously known as Hana to Yume LaLa) was created as a sister magazine to Hana to Yume. It later became its own independent magazine with a sister magazine of its own, LaLa DX.

In 2009, the magazine celebrated its 35th anniversary and has collaborated with Yahoo! Japan Comic which is currently digitally distributing the magazine's serialized manga. Glass Mask by Suzue Miuchi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e by Hisaya Nakajō are among the 235 titles currently available to be read online.[4] To commemorate the magazine's anniversary, there was an internet radio broadcast streaming at Yahoo! Japan for an hour and a half. Suzue Miuchi was the guest in the 2nd episode of the radio show, broadcast on May 4.[5]

Hana to Yume Guide Book

Hana to Yume Guide Book (花とゆめ GUIDE BOOK) was published and released together with a set of embossed stickers in issue 01 of the magazine in 2002 as a furoku to commemorate the magazine's 35th anniversary.

The book contains summaries of titles serialized in the magazine since its inception to April 2009. It also has well-wishing messages from 22 manga artists, among of them are Noriko Sasaki, Natsuki Takaya, Marimo Ragawa, Saki Hiwatari, Suzue Miuchi, Hisaya Nakajo and Nanpei Yamada who have been serializing their work in the magazine. There is also a special quiz and section containing a history of the magazine together with a chronology of domestic topics since the publication of their magazine.
