'Kakukaku Shikajika' Wins Manga Taisho Award for 2015

The 2015 award list for the 8th edition of Manga Taisho, the annual Japanese Manga Award, has been announced. The award is decided by a panel of bookstore clerks who select the best title from manga series which are relatively new (have published less than 8 volumes) and have released at least one volume in the last year.
