So, in a lonely island situation where I was only allowed one shoujo manga magazine subscription, it’d be Betsuma! They’ve had this perfect balance between mainstream hits and newly discovered intriguing talent for years and years and I'm convinced it'll stay this way.

And then there’s the curious case of Takano Ichigo whose talent was discovered by Betsuma. Then they dropped her & her series orange which went on to become a massive hit after Futabasha/Gekkan Action picked it up again. A successful new ed. of Dreamin' Sun also followed. Ouch.

Betsuma's more recent hit shoujo manga titles (III):
Hatta Ayuko’s Wolf Girl and Black Prince (16 vols., 2011-2016)
Sakisaka Io’s Strobe Edge (10 vols., 2007-2010), but especially Ao Haru Ride/Blue Spring Ride (13 vols., 2011-2015), Furifura (currently 6 vols., 2015-).

More Kimi ni Todoke predecessors & contemporary hits in Betsuma (II):
Kawahara Kazune’s Sensei! (20 vols., 1996-2003) and her following works, including Aozora Yell (19 vols., 2008-2015) & her collab with the fantastic Aruko, Ore Monogatari!!/My Love Story!! (13 vols., 2012-2016)

Similarly loved-by-the-nation older Betsuma titles (I):
Tada Kaoru’s Itazura na Kiss (23 vols, 1990-1999)
Nagata Masami’s Renai Catalogue (34 vols., 1994-2007)
Nakahara Aya’s Love★Com/Lovely Complex (17 vols., 2001-2007)
Takanashi Mitsuba’s Crimson HERO (20 vols., 2002-2011)
