The Japanese publisher Shogakukan just announced the winners of the sixty-sixth edition of the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Awards, which won two mangas in the Shonen category: Chainsaw man by Tatsuki Fujimoto e Karakai jozu no Takagi-san by Soichiro Yamamoto. Below you can read the names of all winners by category.

As you may have noticed, Shogakukan has given out more than one manga per category, not a novelty considering that even in 2019 the crown for the best general manga rested on the minds of Kaguya-sama: Love is War and Aoashi.

Chainsaw Man therefore receives another award after the prestigious first place at the Kono Manga Ga Sugoi Awards 2020. This is excellent news for Tatsuki Fujimoto who will be back to work on the second part of the work soon pending the release of the anime adaptation by MAPPA.
