| The final Hana To Yume of 2009! Well, in publishing terms, at least. Japanese magazines date 4-6 weeks in advance.
Cover goes to Love So Life.
Color pages for Gakuen Alice (2), Nice To Meet You Kamisama, and Kaizoku to Ningyo.
There's a separate volume with this, which has 4 manga one-shots. It has a cover by the artist of Love Sick, which ended recently.
Breakdown: Gakuen Alice 123 Seiyuu Kaa! 10 Nice to Meet You, Kamisama 34 Love So Life 18 Berry Berry 11 Shine!! Vitamin school dormitory boys☆ (an 8-page debut) Monochrome Kids 16 Akatsuki no Yona 7 Kaizoku to Ningyo 8 Oresama Teacher 42 Hana to Akuma 41 鎌田ギュウ乳販売店 (gag comic) Kyou Mo Ashita Mo 32 Isshi Ni Neyou No 14
Extra Volume (seems to be Xmas oriented): Guard Girl (by the Love Sick author) Santa Street Doll Trunk Prince and Cake
It's getting harder to figure out what's off, what's on hiatus, and what's simply an irregular series. Kaizoku no Ningyo was off for over half a year, but now seems to be back. Skip Beat! is still on break, as is Hoshi Wa Utau. Jiu Jiu may be over and it's simply not noted on the Japanese site I use for this. Tadaima na Uta seems to be irregular now. Of course, it's the holiday issue, so who knows... | |

| I really enjoyed Karakuri Odette Vol. 1, so went to see what ran in HtY the issue that it debuted. This one isn't too far back, so we should see lots of series we know.
Cover goes to Gakuen Alice.
Color pages for Fruits Basket (2), Shanimuni GO, and Karakuri Odette.
The breakdown: Fruits Basket 115 Gakuen Alice 52 Pheromomania Syndrome 45 Shanimuni GO 129 もうすこしがんばりましょう (gag comic) Special A 32 Nosatsu Junkie 29 Karakuri Odette 1 3年Z組ポチ先生 (gag comic) Gokuraku Doumei 17 幸福ロー (gag comic) Fairy Cube 10 Golden Days 9 Manabiya Sannin Kichisa 19 青春の1ページめに君の名前を (one shot) 蒲田ギュウ乳販売店 (gag comic) 兄ワールド (gag comic)
Skip Beat!, Sugar Princess, and The Magic Touch are on break.
Things to notice: 1) There's a lot fewer 4-komas in HtY these days compared to just 4 years ago. 2) Many of these are licensed. Very few ongoing series here not picked up by someone. Pheromomania Syndrome may be too weird? | |

| What was happening in Hana to Yume 15 years ago?
Cover goes to Cain. Color pages for Cain (3), Otona ni Naru Houhou, 引き裂かれたキイス, and 水☆族☆館.
This far back it's hard for me to identify stuff, but let's try anyway. Breakdown:
Elizabeth at the Mirror, a one-shot in the Cain Series, which has been published by Viz (and its sequel, God Child). The artist now draws Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan for Betsuhana. Otona ni Naru Houhou 14. Part of the 'Kumiko and Shingo' series. The artist now draws Orange Chocolate for Betsuhana. Sorya Naize Baby 16. A girls works as a housekeeper for a wodower and his kids. Artist famous for her DMP yaoi series. Currently drawing Host-tan E Youkoso for Betsuhana. Angel Sanctuary 3. This had juuuuust started. Viz put it out. Also see the God Child series above, same author. MVP wa Yuzurenai! 6. Man, remember when this was what she was famous for? Artist currently draws Skip Beat! for Hana to Yume. 冷蔵庫物語. Gag 4-koma. Still being put out in The Hana. 引き裂かれたキイス. This is a one-shot. The artist did a bunch of short series, then left Hakusensha. Sadistic 19. Not quite sure what this is. Artist currently draws Supi Supi Jijou for Melody, which is a 4-koma, so this might be too. Cheerio!~キミが好きなボク~. This is also part of the 'Kumiko and Shingo' series, see above. 水☆族☆館. One-shot. The artist did some short series, then left. Glass Mask 337. Still running in Betsuhama. The Hakusensha equivalent of Kochikame. イベントW…発進!. Part of the Kaitou Amaryllis series, which had unnumbered chapters. Artist just finished Crown for Akita Shoten's Princess Gold. Karin 49. About halfway through this series. Artist now does one-shots and short series for Betsuhana, Melody and Silky. Madam to Mister 2. No clue. Artist moved to josei, then moved on. Gekkou 18. Artist best known for Here Is Greenwood, seems to have moved on.
That's a whole lot of not much, isn't it? Cain and Angel Sanctuary we know, but that's about it. Oh, where are the Hana to Yumes of yesteryear? | |
