2nd place: The Summer Hikaru Died Vol. 8

"If you stay like this, you’ll stop being human…!!"

Yoshiki and Hikaru are two boys who grew up together in a certain village. The "Hikaru" who replaced the original—a mysterious entity—has been searching for a way to return to "the other side." To fulfill Yoshiki’s "wish," Hikaru discovers a single passage…

Meanwhile, worried about the bruise spreading across Yoshiki’s body, Kurebayashi proposes that he be the one to close the next "hole." But behind that suggestion, a certain individual's hidden agenda seems to be at play.

Includes a special bonus short story reflecting on Yoshiki’s memories of the real Hikaru while he was still alive.

1st place: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Volume 15

The mage Frieren becomes entangled in an escort mission within the Imperial Capital. A three-way confrontation erupts at a grand ball involving the Shadow Warriors, the Imperial Magical Special Task Force, and the Continental Magic Association. The story ventures into an unimaginable future where the "death lines" of heroes intertwine in this postscript fantasy.
