Flowers (フラワーズ) is a monthly Japanese shōjomanga magazine published by Shogakukan and issued on the 28th of every month.
History
Flowers originally started out under the name Petit Flower (プチフラワー, Puchifurawā), which was also published by Shogakukan. Petit Flower was founded in 1980 as a quarterly magazine, eventually becoming monthly and then ultimately bi-monthly, and became defunct in March 2002. It was relaunched as the monthly Flowers in April 2002, which, to increase circulation, incorporated such popular Betsucomi serials as Yasha and 7 Seeds with previous Petit Flower titles. Before ceasing publication, Petit Flower serialized a number of works by Moto Hagio, including Iguana Girl, Mesh, Marginal, and A Cruel God Reigns.
Yasha was originally serialized in Bessatsu Shōjo Comic from 1996 to 2002. It then moved to Flowers, where it ended in 2002.
