Magazine debuted in 1977, serialized manga from Kaori Yuki, Chika Shiomi, Saki Hiwatari

Retailer Rakuten's listing for the July issue of Hakusensha's Bessatsu Hana to Yume ( Betsuhana ) shōjo magazine shows the issue's cover (seen right), revealing that the magazine will end with that issue. The issue will ship on Saturday.

Hakusensha launched the magazine in 1977 as a sister magazine to the main Hana to Yume magazine. The magazine started out as a quarterly publication. The magazine became a bimonthly publication in 1991, and then a monthly publication in 1993. It returned to bimonthly in 2002, before finally returning to a monthly schedule in 2006.

The magazine has hosted such manga as Kaori Yuki's Grand Guignol Orchestra and Blood Hound ; Makoto Tateno's King of Cards ; Aya Kanno's Otomen ; Chika Shiomi's Yukarism , Rasetsu , and Ludwig Revolution ; Fuyu Tsuyama and Rei Izawa's Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri ; and Saki Hiwatari's Boku o Tsutsumu Tsuki no Hikari , as well as its sequel Boku wa Chikyū to Utau . Suzue Miuchi's Glass Mask and Mineo Maya's Patalliro! were still being serialized in the magazine until this month.
