Summary: The manga revolves around a first-year high school student named Kako who is a beginner at love, and a handsome policeman named Kōta.
Last year, Tsuyoshi Yasuda’s DAYS manga won the Best Shōnen Manga award, Junko’s Kiss Him, Not Me manga won the Best Shōjo Manga award, and Yū Suzunoki’s Kōnodori manga won the Best General Manga award.
Japanese publisher Kodansha announced the nominees on Friday for its 41st annual Manga Awards, honoring 14 titles across three categories.
In past years, Kodansha gave out a “Best Children’s Manga” award as well, but starting in 2015 Kodansha has integrated the nominees for that category into the Best Shōnen Manga and Best Shōjo Manga categories instead.
