The executive committee for the 13th Manga Taisho awards listed this year’s 12 nominated works on Monday.
The nominating committee is composed mainly of bookstore staffers who are in charge of their respective stores’ manga.
The second round of voting will determine the winner of Manga Taisho 2020, which will be announced at an awards ceremony to be held sometime in mid to late March.
Ikoku Nikki, The Blue Period., and Do not say mystery were also nominated for the awards last year.
