It’s only because I’ve always been a “favorite” life that I’ve been saved many times by the content I met and the support of my friends. That’s why I sincerely believe that it was ranked in the top 10 just a few months after its release thanks to “My Favorite Comrades.” We will continue to pursue further training so that people will continue to think “I’m glad I supported it.”

We would also like to thank the authors and producers who helped us create the work. I will do my best to draw even better manga from now on. thank you very much.

Guest judge: Iori Moe

As the title suggests, “I thought it was a common reincarnation of a young lady” is a story that begins with a genre that I love, and a classic situation that everyone has seen at least once. . However, as you can see from the title, the appeal of this work is more than just a “villainess.” The way the unexpected actions and developments that betray readers’ expectations were very interesting, and the depictions of the characters around them being at the mercy of them were very interesting. In particular, the relationship between the main character Edit and her husband Killian is a major highlight of this work. In order to avoid his own death, the protagonist attempts to go a different path than the original story. However, his actions are always unexpected, and the story unfolds in an unexpected direction, involving Lize and the surroundings. This gradually changes the relationship between the two, which was initially awkward. The design is also very beautiful, with the characters’ expressions and emotions carefully drawn. In particular, I thought that the frame layout, development, and direction were well thought out to match the vertical reading format that has been developed in recent years. I think this work will captivate readers with its original story and characters, whilst cleverly making use of “classic situations.”

The whole team of “The Savior of Divine Blood”

I am extremely honored to receive this wonderful award. We would like to express our gratitude to all who voted for “The Savior of Divine Blood.” The entire production team will continue to work harder. We hope you will look forward to your continued support. Thank you so much!

Guest judges: BE:FIRST・SHUNTO

I’ve read a variety of manga and I still have many works I’m following both domestically and internationally. Among them, I decided to make this work because I found it easy to read even for those who have read manga or those who have not, and I wanted a variety of people to read it. I was originally reading this work because I was curious about myself, but most importantly, from the beginning, the excitement of Door’s abilities, the rise of the protagonist, the level of inflation between enemies and allies, the strength expressed solely in words, and the tempo. I think it’s a work that is easy to read, yet still gives you a sense of the depth of the story. As a manga lover, I am extremely pleased to be able to choose manga in such a honour. I would also be happy if this work could become a bridge that allows many people to read a variety of works. thank you very much.
