Manga Award , or as it's more commonly known, the Grand Prize for Manga! It's also worth remembering that this event is very renowned and has been held in Japan since 2008, giving more visibility to the manga industry. Now, without further ado, let's check out the list:
Grand Prix of Manga – Top 10
10. SPY x FAMILY: Now, opening our list of winners, we have this work that totaled 38 points . But, for those who don't know the work, it centers on a spy who helped the world in his missions. But now, he receives an unusual mission: to form a family and start a new life!
9. Kowloon Generic Romance: Here we have a very interesting mix of genres such as slice of life, romance, and seinen. The drama revolves around a more mature romance, with various storylines, blending drama with a tranquil life. It's no wonder it managed to accumulate 46 points on the list.
08. Metamorphose no Engawa: Here, we see the most exotic plot of all. But it's still interesting. It revolves around a lady who ends up reading a BL manga and liking it. So, when she buys the next volume, she meets another girl who likes BL, and a new friendship is born! Incidentally, it accumulated about 48 points in the awards.
7. Onna no Sono no Hoshi: This one scored 57 points and stands out from the others for being an extremely light and funny work. It tells the story of a teacher's daily life in a very lively and comical way, involving his students and their daily routine.
06. Kaijuu 8-gou: Now, we have this work that has become very popular here in the West. It achieved an incredible 58 points and brought us a very cool story. By the way, for those who don't know it, I highly recommend reading it, but it currently only has 40 chapters.
Grand Prix of Manga – Top 5
5. Oshi no Ko: Opening our top 5, we have this work with 59 points . Also, for those who don't know, the author is the same as Love is War, and it's a fairly recent work, released last year. Finally, it revolves around an idol, but I don't want to say anything more to avoid spoiling the reading experience. Go read it, because it's truly unique.
4. Mizu wa Umi ni Mukatte Nagareru: Here we have a work that reached 60 points . Therefore, it is also a slice of life, where a young student changes schools and goes to live with his eccentric uncle and other peculiar people. Just being in the top 4 already shows the work's potential!
Grand Prix of Manga – Top 3
03. Karaoke Iko!
Finally, we've reached the top 3, which totaled 64 points ! This is another work with a very different theme. It revolves around a student who is kidnapped by the Yakuza to give singing lessons! Furthermore, as the narrative progresses, a strange friendship begins between them…
02. Chi – Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite
In second place, with 67 points , we have this marvelous work! It deals with 15th-century Europe and focuses on "wrong" ideologies, where heretics were burned alive. Our protagonist then meets a mysterious gentleman who studies these ideologies!
01. Sousou no Frieren
And in 1st place we have this work that won by a landslide with 91 points . Its success is also growing here in the West. Furthermore, it features a legendary heroine who reminisces about that time with her companions and, consequently, the regrets that embitter her heart! A true work of art.
