Hanayamata is a manga series written and illustrated by Hamayumiba Sou. It first premiered in Manga Time Kirara Forward in 2011, and has been serialized in the same magazine since. The manga has been collected into five tankobon volumes as of July 2014. It was adapted into an anime by MADHOUSE and aired during the Summer 2014 anime season.
Hanayamata synopsis from Haruhichan:
Normal appearance, normal intelligence, normal in arts and sports… just normal. This is the entirely normal 14-year-old, Naru Sekiya. While she admires “Heroines” she continues to live a normal life until one moonlit night she meets a fairy. This foreign girl then guides her into the extraordinary world of the yosakoi dance.
