History

edit

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.
