This is a monumental win, solidifying its place as one of the most acclaimed series of the modern era. A huge congratulations to Shirahama-sensei for this incredible and well-deserved honor!
If you've somehow missed the hype, Witch Hat Atelier is a stunning tale of a young girl named Coco who dreams of becoming a witch in a world where magic is meant to be a secret. What sets it apart is its unbelievably gorgeous and intricate artwork, combined with a deeply enchanting system of magic and world-building that pulls you in from the very first page.

While the manga world is celebrating, it was a bittersweet night in the Digital Book of the Year category. Several powerhouse WEBTOON Originals were in the running, showcasing the incredible rise of digital comics. Unfortunately, they were ultimately bested by the wonderfully relatable Sarah's Scribbles. While it wasn't a win for WEBTOON this time, just seeing these digital-native series nominated for such a prestigious award is a massive step forward! It proves that webtoons are a major force in the industry, and we can't wait to see them back in the running next year. Congrats to all the incredible nominees!
