| Hell yeah for Odd Taxi and Sonny Boy! |
 |
| The only thing I recognize from these winners is Odd Taxi. |
 |
| out of all manga titles, only asano manga is actively translated. shame since i also interested in rolling siblings and onna no sono hoshi. |
 "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." |
| Massive congrats to Odd Taxi |
