| Glad to see Spy x Family up there in particular along with Runway de Waratte and Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi. And as always, I’m hoping to see (more, if already one) anime announcements of these so I’ll be able to check it out in my preferred method too. |

| Would have loved it if Spy x Family won it but I am so glad that Boku to Kimi won! Robico-sensei's best manga and a true masterpiece. I have fond memories of the manga! Azumaa~ x Nozomin is the best thing ever! Oh, how I wished to see this animated! T_T Why some of the best stories ever in shoujo/josei magazines never see anime?! T_T |

| Just started Tokyo Revengers today, so far so good. |

T_T Because they are unrealistic, usually contain a lot of self-inserting and only pander to a smaller group of people. They will not gain massive recognition as other. more profound and thought-out series. It is such adaptation of such series that people invest in. Is your comment a parody? Like if only high-brow shows with deep meanings got made into anime hahaha How many season DanMachi already has? In fact, imo the only thing you said who has any bearing is the size of the target audience. I guess traditional josei/shoujo stories just don't have enough of a audience. BL seems to get through to a lot more people apparently for example. |

I found it much more engaging than Spy x Family, so I gotta thank the awards for introducing such a good manga to me Yeah, I don't normally pay much attention to awards and read the manga, but this one just caught my eye and gave it a shot. Glad I did. |
| Blue period translation is so far behind the raws, it makes me want to learn Japanese so I can know what will happen. Not blaming the translation group, i'm blaming the publisher. |
| Really love Tokyo Revengers, Spy X Family, Skip to Loafer, and Blue Period. I'd be fine with any of them winning the award, and Tokyo Revengers won! This is great. |
| Now if only the English release of tokyo revengers were to get a physical release.. I love that series, but I hate that my only way to support it is digitally or buying Japanese vols. |
Daniel_Naumov said: Minami said: Now if only the English release of tokyo revengers were to get a physical release.. I love that series, but I hate that my only way to support it is digitally or buying Japanese vols. Why hate the ability to support actual authors and Japanese instead of the western distributors? I mean, clearly the westerners need their every penny more than Japanese, but even so, if one is playing better pay the decent people. Because I actually want to read it too? I can't read Japanese? |
MadSc said: To be honest SxF went downhill really fast. Putting so much focus on that (rather despicable and painfully stupid) little girl was an awful idea. I'm surprised it won some award again. Recent chapters are so run of the mill it feels like reading some bottom feeder from WSJ on the verge of axing... Kirasaka said: Just started Tokyo Revengers today, so far so good. Same here.
