| It intrigues me that only one of these works has been adapted and has already provoked a number of controversies in the Western community. |

It's pretty predictable what sets off the western community at this point.It intrigues me that only one of these works has been adapted and has already provoked a number of controversies in the Western community. What controversies did Yofukashi no Uta have anyway? |
JayBlue said: You are completely unaware of the controversy, but find it unusual that you did not understand it? Lol, ok. Well, read the discussion of anime. Especially those threads where people are trying to accuse the show of promoting pedophilia or trying to announce the "death of reputation" after the ratings expectedly dropped after the end of the broadcast.RobertBobert said: I don't really get the correlation.

| Very doubtful choice of the winners. Anyway, my congrats! |
 |
| I have yet to read Call of The Night after watching the anime. |
 |
| that winner for children manga has very questionable premise. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| The children category winner doesn't look like it's made for children at all. |
| Call of the Night is dope so im glad to see it win something. |
 |
| Happy for Call of the Night, which has been very unique among other Shonen manga. |

Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette, a certificate and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$7,500). I would choose Sakamoto Days and Chi no Wadachi instead of the ones that won. |
