1977 (current version) The Kodansha Manga Award 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 Kodansha Children's Manga Award until 1968. In 1970, it was named Kodansha Cultural Award: Children's manga category. The second version lasted until 1976. The company decided to create multiple categories thereafter.{{Cite web|title=Kodansha Manga Award
The award once was given out in four categories: ja, ja, children, and general. The award was formalized into the present ceremony with initially offering categories only for ja and ja 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 ja and ja 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).
