Kodansha Manga Award

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox award Template:Nihongo is one of Japan's major manga awards. The event is sponsored by publisher Kodansha. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga in its third iteration since 1977.

Categories

The award was originally called the Template:Nihongo until 1968. In 1970, it was named Template:Nihongo. The second version lasted until 1976. The company decided to create multiple categories thereafter.

The award once was given out in four categories: Template:Transliteration, Template:Transliteration, children, and general. The award was formalized into the present ceremony with initially offering categories only for Template:Transliteration and Template:Transliteration in 1977. The first award for the general category was in 1982, and the first children's category award was in 2003. The children's category was merged into the Template:Transliteration and Template:Transliteration categories starting in 2015.

Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette, a certificate, and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$7,500).
