3rd place: Stomp, Kick, Love Vol.6

A glitch in their personal space—and now a new twist?!
Neither willing to back down, this clash of two dominant personalities is heating up—who will gain the upper hand?

One day, as their delicate, no-boundary mind games have become the norm,
Kaho receives some bold advice from a friend: "Be the bad girl for once."
Taking it to heart, she calls out Tai to get a little playful revenge and teases,
"Maybe I’ll have a little fun with you."
But…!?

"I don’t plan to let you off with just one try."
"I’m going to mess you up completely."

An intense romantic (maybe?) comedy between two adults with a totally glitched-out sense of distance!
The unstoppable, breathless sixth volume of this battle-of-the-bold love story!

2nd place: Skip and Loafer Vol.12

Mitsumi, a top student from the countryside, enters a prestigious Tokyo high school at the top of her class.
She's great at studying—but growing up in a remote area, she lacks experience interacting with peers her age. On top of that, she’s a bit airheaded, and navigating life in the big city is no easy task!

Still, Mitsumi-chan’s pure-hearted and sincere presence gently influences her classmates—without her even realizing it. Though she and her close-knit group of friends end up in different classes as they move into their second year, each of them begins to shine in their own way, making the most of their fleeting high school days and turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

With Season 2 of the TV anime now in production, this deeply relatable, emotionally rich school life comedy continues to capture hearts across media. In this dazzling Volume 12, the spotlight turns to the quietly melancholic Shima-kun and the mysteries of his past—delivering a full spectrum of joy, anger, sorrow, and laughter in a story that sparkles even brighter than before!

1st place: Blue Lock Vol.35

2018 — The World Cup.
Japan’s national team was crushed. Once again, they only made it to the Round of 16...
A powerhouse in Asia? World-class team coordination? We’ve heard it all before.

But the real issue is clear:
Japan lacks a true “Ace Striker.”

To finally achieve the dream of winning the World Cup, the Japan Football Union launches a radical project — one that gathers 300 of the country’s top youth players in search of a revolutionary talent:
A player obsessed with scoring, addicted to victory, and capable of changing the game with their ego alone.

Among them is Yoichi Isagi, a second-year high schooler no one’s ever heard of.
Can he crush the other 299 and rise to become the ultimate Ace Striker?

Every player’s an egoist.
The most insane, egocentric forward soccer manga in history begins here!

Only a little time remains until the U-20 World Cup kicks off.
To claim the championship, the egoists resume their journey — each confronting their personal weaknesses through relentless training.

And just when Nagi finds himself stalled, unable to shake the heat of past battles, a certain man appears to show him a glimpse of the future…

As motives clash and ambitions collide — the U-20 World Cup finally begins!!

Anything less than victory is irrelevant.
Unleash the ego of Japanese football!!
