[Review] The relationship between the heroine, who possesses both strength and weakness, and the suave hero who embraces her was endearing. The expressions and timing were wonderful, making us want to read it as a completed manuscript!

[Author Comment] I am very happy to receive the Grand Prize. I will continue to strive to draw works that remain in readers' hearts.

[Department Awards] Prize Money: 20,000 yen

<Best Couple Award> ©Tommy Tommy - 'Kishi de aru Mono' (The One Who is a Knight) [Review] We were heart-fluttered by the innocent romance between adults with status. The beauty of the artwork and the comical ending are also attractive.

<Situation Award> ©Nori Yana Nori Yana - 'Kare no Tokubetsu de aru, Futsuu no Watashi' (Normal Me, Who is Special to Him) [Review] A fun work featuring the gap in the hero's personality. The art is beautiful, and it's wonderful that royal-road settings are firmly included.

<Character Award> ©Himei Sango Himei Sango - 'Omoide no Umi' (Sea of Memories) [Review] We were moved by the sight of them piling up warm memories at the sea again despite being deeply hurt by it, and by the emotional expression.

<Heart-Throbbing Award> ©Mafaal Mafaal - 'Chi ga nomenai Kyuuketsuki' (The Vampire Who Can't Drink Blood) [Review] The cute art style is attractive, and sexiness could be felt from the hair and expressions. It made us want to know more about the two!

[Finalists] Amazon Gift Card (5,000 yen value) Umibe Eve / Namae / Tamiya Miya
