Kadokawa Haruki shut Bijin Hyakka after 20 years — two months after its sister title

Bijin Hyakka, the women's fashion monthly Kadokawa Haruki Corporation launched in 2005, suspended publication with its September 2025 issue, released August 8, 2025. The announcement came a day earlier on the editorial department's Instagram — sudden, it apologised, without giving a reason — and ended a run of roughly 20 years.

The magazine had survived an early wobble: weak sales forced it bimonthly until a girly formula — models Mika and Risa Hirako sharing their real wardrobes and interiors — won readers back and restored monthly publication in April 2011. Its 'Hyakka Ladies' stayed loyal for another fourteen years; the final issue carried a back-cover tribute to Mika, the one regular left from the launch.

It was the publisher's second fashion closure in two months: sister title Otona Hyakka, aimed at women over 35, ended in June. The Bijin Hyakka website continues; the print edition does not.
