Shogakukan Manga Award

The oldest continuous comic books-only award identified so far by the compiler, the Shogakukan Manga Award is awarded annually by Shogakukan Publishing, a large Japanese manga publisher. Because it is a publisher-sponsored award, there seems to be a bias such that material published by Shogakukan is much more likely to win than any other publisher's material is, though it is possible for other publishers' material to win.

Where other nominees are known, the winners are marked in blue and with an asterisk. Otherwise, all listings represent winners.

Also known as: Shōgakukan Manga Shō, Shogakukan Comics Award [小学館漫画賞]

  • Boys' category = Shōnen muke bumon 少年向け部門 (lit. "boys suitability/intended category")
  • Girls' category = Shōjo muke bumon 少女向け部門 (lit. "girls suitability/intended category")

          (Previously called Young Adult/General category = Seinen ippan no muke bumon 青年一般向け部門, though "Young Adult" here approximately means "ages 18-25")
  • Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

Notes:

  • I speak no Japanese and am only passably knowledgeable about the history of every Japanese manga that has ever been published, so I have had to rely on a Japanese-English dictionary and a transliteration table and hope that my translations and transliterations are close. Where available, I have also drawn from third-party reporting of the award results and web pages about the creators. The blame for any mistakes in interpretation, translation, and transliteration lies on my shoulders (and I humbly apologize to any creators whose names and titles I have mangled). I welcome any expert corrections and translations.
  • All English alphabet personal names are given in the same order they would normally appear in English-language publishing (given name then family name). They are followed by the Japanese-language form of the name, in the standard order (family name then given name).
  • When English-language versions of the Japanese titles are known or can be translated, those are given first, followed by a transliteration of the Japanese title, and followed by the original title in Japanese characters and flanked by: 『 』. When no English-language title is known or when the English title is untranslated from the Japanese (such as for Akira or Hikaru no go), only the transliteration and Japanese title are given. (There are some exceptions regarding manga with titles using English letters instead of Japanese characters.) Transliterated Japanese-language titles are always in italics. If the only English title is in its own set of parentheses, that means the translation is mine and may be faulty.
  • For consistency, the revised Hepburn system is used for transliterations as much as possible, even for titles that are themselves Japanese transliterations of English words. (For example, the Japanese title for Vagabond is transliterated as Bagabonto.) In this system, long a, o, and u vowels are marked as ā, ō, and ū rather than the various aa, ai, ay, oo, ou, oh, ô, uu, or û you may find when searching for these words in other sources. Likewise, when a "ch" consonant is doubled, it is usually rendered as "tch" instead of the "cch" you may find when searching for these words in other sources.
