Coco Uzuki’s Fall In Love, You False Angels Among Winners (Koiseyo Mayakashi Tenshidomo) was the winner of the Shojo category. Kodansha USA describes the Dessert-serialized title as:
All sugar, no spice, and everything nice… that’s the impression the beautiful first-year high schooler and “heartthrob angel” class president Otogi Katsura gives to those around her. In reality, Otogi is brash, assertive, and has no problem calling out a jerk when she sees one—the complete opposite of her soft spoken vice presidential counterpart, the equally beautiful and seemingly perfect Toki Ninomae. One day, when a group of boys try to hit on her at the train station, Otogi doesn’t hold back and gives them a piece of her mind — and, to her surprise, Toki enjoys seeing this side of her. Not only that, it turns out the seemingly polite, put-together vice president has a hidden side of his own… and Otogi now finds him more attractive than ever! Now “partners-in-crime,” Otogi and Toki agree to keep their hidden sides a secret from the rest of their classmates—but could this shared, dark secret also bring them closer together…?!
Finally, Hitoshi Iwaaki‘s Historie won in the General category. K Manga describes the Afternoon-serialized title as:
A historical epic set in ancient times, Historie tells the story of Eumenes, a young man with quick wits and a vast destiny to fulfill. In time, he’ll become a famed army commander and personal secretary to Alexander the Great—but the road to this glory is fraught with danger…
The 48th Kodansha Awards winners were Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End for Shonen, Looking At Your Profile (Kimi no Yokogao wo Miteita) for Shojo, and Medalist for General.
