Asahi Shimbun announced the winners of the 30th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize on Wednesday. The awards ceremony will be held on June 11 at the Yurakucho Asahi Hall in Chiyoda, Tokyo.

Grand Prize: Hon nara Uru hodo by Ao Kojima
New Work Prize: Kaijuu wo Kaibou suru by Mado Saitou
Short Work Prize: Atarashii Tomodachi by Kawajiro
Special Prize: Peleliu: Rakuen no Guernica by Kazuyoshi Takeda

Ten nominees were announced by Asahi Shimbun in February, chosen by bookstore staff and experts from a list of titles that had at least one volume released last year. The nominees for the grand prize, including the winner, were Iemori Kitan, Kimi to Uchuu wo Aruku Tame ni, Kore Kaite Shine, Qudu, Sukima, Solaris, Hanbun Kyoudai, Ball and Chain, and Roca. The Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize was established in 1997 and is an annual manga prize awarded to mangaka and their works that best follow the manga approach of the late Osamu Tezuka.

@6tayfi So, is this a typical episodic workplace SoL, where the MC meets all sorts of people? I wonder why it's rated so highly then. It's not because I think such works are usually weak, it's just that I'm always intrigued by stories where the characters meet a wide variety of people instead of a stable cast.

Congrats to the winners! Though these works are not so famous outside Japan.

@RobertBobert Juugatsu-to, a secondhand bookstore where people and books may meet anew. Run by a laid back young man with a ponytail, the shop is visited by all kinds of customers. Join him as he interacts with anyone from a book-loving regular, a high school girl growing into adulthood, a man looking to simply get rid of some books, and a widow selling her late husband's collection. A gem of a slice of life story for all lovers of books and those whose lives have been changed forever by their encounters with books.

I honestly didn't think it was going to happen for a third time, but here we are.

Damn, Hon nara Uru hodo is on a roll now, scoring a hat-trick.

@RobertBobert Ngl I don't know much about it outside that it's about a bookstore and its owner and the clients that come in

@DatRandomDude What's this about? I think I saw a synopsis somewhere, but the page on the website is empty.

Man, they really love Hon nara Uru hodo over there, third win in a row after this year's Manga Taisho and Kono Manga ga Sugoi
