Comic Awards Overview

The Next Manga Award, known in Japanese as “Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishō”, is an annual manga award recognizing outstanding manga series. The event is jointly organized by Kadokawa Co., Ltd.’s “Da Vinci” magazine and the Niconico streaming website. This prestigious award, first introduced on October 6, 2014, is the result of a collaboration between two prestigious entities in the comics and entertainment industries.

The Next Comics Awards are made up of two distinct categories to recognize the diverse landscape of comics creation. The first category is devoted to comics that have been published in print publications, demonstrating the enduring tradition of physical comics volumes. The second category focuses on series published online, highlighting the evolving digital landscape of comics distribution.

Comic series must meet certain criteria to be eligible for consideration. They must be currently serialized and have no more than five published volumes, or serialization began after January 1st. This ensures that the award not only celebrates established work, but also emerging talent and fresh creations.

The selection process for the Next Comic Awards involves fan participation, with comic lovers voting to determine the winners. Initially, voting was limited to Japan, but an English-language website was launched in 2021, expanding the award’s global reach and allowing international comics fans to participate.

The Next Comic Awards are a premier platform to recognize and celebrate excellence in the comics industry, bridging the gap between traditional print comics and the emerging world of online comics. It remains an important showcase for emerging talent and innovative storytelling in the comics medium.
