Is they are saying this is the best publishing manga in 2024(not literally off course but question is, do they deserved to be award winning manga)
And I'd there on category or not because they use to have : boy, girl, child & general this 4 category
So do they followed that without mentioning any context,
Congrats to the winners. Damn, I might give Puniru manga or anime a try. It seems to be fairly popular, but most of all good from the technical point of view (the source material at least; I don't know much about the anime).
