I am glad Blue Period won. Actually it got less points than last year, but this year it was a close race it seems..

i'm so proud of blue period! it's an amazing manga & deserves more recognition (although it's receiving more traction nowadays)

Never heard of Blue Period, but after reading the synopsis I think I need to. This is right up my alley.

Surprised that Spy x Family didn’t win this... Guess I really need to give the winner a shot too, then.
Good to see Nami yo Kiitekure make it to the list, I’m looking forward to the anime adaption next season even more now!
