The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, and is sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga and features candidates from a number of publishers. It is the oldest manga award in Japan, being given since 1955.

Categories

[edit]

Until 2022, the award categories were:

  • Children's (児童向け部門, Jidō muke bumon)
  • Boy's (少年向け部門, Shōnen muke bumon)
  • Girl's (少女向け部門, Shōjo muke bumon)
  • General (一般向け部門, Ippan muke bumon)

Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette called "Minori", designed by Shigeru Nakano; a certificate, and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$7,500). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.[1][2]

Recipients

[edit]

The laureates were awarded for comics published during the years listed in the table. However, the laureates were not presented and the prizes were not given out until the beginning of the following year. The prizes are often referred to by the numbers listed below instead of the years. Since the 69th edition, the nominees have not been divided into categories.[3]
