Next Manga Award
The Next Manga Award (Japanese: 次にくるマンガ大賞, Hepburn: Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishō) is an annual award for manga series presented by Kadokawa Corporation's Da Vinci magazine and Niconico streaming website. It is divided into two categories: one for print manga, and one for web manga.
Overview edit
The award was originally established on October 6, 2014, as a collaboration between Kadokawa Corporation's Da Vinci magazine and its Niconico streaming website.[1] The award is divided into two categories, the first is for manga that have been published in print publications, and the second for series published online.[1] In order for a series to be eligible, it must be currently serializing and have no more than five volumes published or have started serialization after January 1.[2] The final decision is made by having fans vote. Until 2021, voting was restricted to Japan. However, in 2021 an English website was launched.[2]
