Proper Japanese Title: メロディ
Melody began in 1997 as an independent magazine with a focus on drama manga for girls. Though it did not directly begin as a branded spin-off of LaLa or Hana to Yume (Hakusensha's longest running shojo manga magazines), it has had plenty of crossover with them when it comes to creative talent. Melody was a monthly magazine from launch until 2006 when it slowed down to its current bimonthly publishing rate.
