Let’s Get Your Heart Skipping with our Hana to Yume Catalog!
The cherry blossom season might have ended, but flowers still abound in nature! And speaking of flowers, are you familiar with a dreamy Japanese magazine that features flowers in its name? Of course, we are talking about Hana to Yume, a magazine that has well-established itself in the readership’s eyes as the source for anything shoujo!
Published by Hakusensha, Hana to Yume is one of the most popular manga magazines for young girls and teens in Japan. Most of the magazine’s content is centered on romance, and it offers a smattering variety of subgenres: contemporary, fantasy, and even a bit of sci-fi!
Yen Press has a bit of a history with this magazine, as we have a few titles that were originally serialized (and still are!) on it. So let’s discover what Yen Press has to offer from Hana to Yume! Starting with…the classics!

Nagi’s normal! Gods are supposed to give girls like her divine aid, not invitations to the most prestigious magic academy in Japan!! Modern life means modern solutions, even to supernatural problems. So of course the government would have a classification system, special schools, and licenses for people with mysterious powers—any manifestation of a miracle is enough to be called a Himiko, but only those with full certification may use the title of God. And high schooler Nagi is in serious need of a god! The death of her grandmother has left her family shrine devoid of the necessary divinity, and her hopelessly shut-in Himiko brother doesn’t look promising. But if Nagi isn’t careful, her search for a god might end with her finding more than she bargained for…
The Failure at God School, Vols. 1-3 are available now!
…And ending with our newcomers!

My name is Merit, and I’ve found myself in a bit of a quandary—namely, getting trapped in the underworld even though I’m very much alive! What’s more, I ran into an actual god, Anubis, who has somehow become a good-for-nothing slouch, lazing around and shirking his duties!! All right, I suppose he’s been cursed and wants nothing to do with humans. And as it turns out, maybe I’m the only one who can undo that curse—if I don’t, I’ll never get home. But I’m just a mortal girl. How can I hope to find my way into a god’s heart…?!
