Harta (ハルタ, Haruta), formerly known as Fellows!, is a Japanese seinen manga magazine published by Enterbrain. Created in 2008, the magazine was originally called Fellows! and was published with a frequency of publication of two months. In December 2012, Enterbrain announced a revamp on the magazine beginning with its February issue in 2013 with the publication changing its name of Fellows! to Harta and also changing its frequency from bimonthly to ten issues per year from February to August and then October to December.[1] The name is inspired by the Indonesian word "Harta", which means "treasure."[2]

Unlike many of the manga magazines in Japan in which the cover features a series currently serialized on the magazine, every issue's cover has an original illustration by different artists.

A spin-off web magazine titled Harta Alternative began publication in April 2023. The web magazine's launch commemorates the 10th anniversary of Harta.[3]
