3rd place: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Yorimichi 4

Congratulations on the anime’s 10th anniversary! The fourth all-new “Detour” volume features brand-new characters!

A special short story collection made up entirely of newly written stories, with new characters joining the cast!
Today as always, the town of Axel is overflowing with trouble and eccentrics. Take a look at Darkness’s struggles after becoming acting lord — “A Lord’s Duties.”

Kazuma and Megumin head out to see a play! They end up arguing over what to watch, but is that suspicious figure keeping tabs on them...? — “Advanced Classes Want to Watch Over Them.”

The long-standing connection between Vanir and the Crimson Demons is finally revealed!? Vanir’s leaked personal information sparks a major incident — “Chilled Vanir Now Available.”

And then the great adventurer Satou Kazuma takes on a difficult quest in search of a “true adventure” — “The Pride and Resolve of a Veteran Adventurer.”

Welcome back to the town of Axel: as delightfully chaotic as ever, yet just a little bit new!

2nd place: Farming Life in Another World Vol. 20

The twentieth summer has arrived! An airship appears in the skies above Great Tree Village!

With the spring harvest over, the village welcomes the summer of its twentieth year!
As everyone fully enjoys the season with pools and ice cream, an auction is held in the Demon Kingdom.

With bargains and rare finds galore, the people of the village are all excited.
But then Hiraku and the others bring back an airship they found on the outskirts of Village Five, throwing Great Tree Village into an uproar!

At last, the series reaches Volume 20!

1st place: Cosmic Princess Kaguya!

An overworked, high-spec high school girl × a high-energy Princess Kaguya × a virtual idol!?

A little way into the future.
Iroha Sakayori, an overworked, ultra-capable high school girl living alone to focus on getting into the University of Tokyo, is on her way home one day when she finds a mysterious baby—emerging from a rainbow-glowing “gaming utility pole”!

But that baby rapidly grows up right before her eyes, turning into a spoiled girl who absolutely adores Iroha!
Claiming she came from the moon, the girl is named “Kaguya” by Iroha.
However, once Kaguya learns how The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter ends, she makes a bold declaration—

“I’m going to make it a happy ending. No matter what!”

And then, for some reason, she sets her sights on becoming a top idol in Japan’s largest virtual world, “Tsukuyomi”…!?
