Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz announced on Monday and Sunday that it has licensed Hasumi Fujita's Yume Miru Cherries manga, as well as Mayoto Tokomaru and Sou Hamayumiba's Go-nen Reigumi Kowaimonogakari children's novels.

Dream of Cherries focuses on twin sisters Rio and Shio. Rio dreams of being a model, while Shio wants to become a fashion designer. To achieve their dreams, Rio studies as a catalog model, and Shio studies design in the kid's fashion brand RONI. Eventually Rio is scouted by a talent agency, and Shio designs an actual product. The two begin to collaborate together.
Fujita serialized the manga in Shogakukan's Ciao Deluxe magazine in 2014. Shogakukan published the manga's one compiled book volume in January 2015. Fujita wrote the story in collaboration with the fashion brand RONI.
The first novel in Tokomaru's Go-nen Reigumi Kowaimonogakari series centers on Tomoka, a fifth-grader who is selected to become a member of Asahi Elementary School's supernatural committee, which deals with very common paranormal goings-on in the school. Together with the zashikiwarashi spirit Hana-chan, and antique mirror spirit Kyouko, and Dokupan, they face the supernatural. The novel series changes its protagonist and characters over the course of further volumes in the series.
Fujita published the first novel in 2014, and published the 13th novel on March 15. All volumes have illsutrations by Hamayumiba.
Hamayumiba launched the Hanayamata (stylized as HaNaYaMaTa) manga manga in Manga Time Kirara Forward in 2011, and ended it in February. Houbunsha published the manga's 10th and final compiled book volume on April 12. The manga inspired a television anime by Madhouse in 2014.
