[Name Category] Work: 'Ubai-ai' | Winner: PN Uwayama Yu Award: Encouragement Award & Sales Department Award (80,000 yen) Sales Department Review: The protagonist Kusumoto Yasumaki meets two girls upon entering high school, sparking his inspiration. The character development and story flow are clear, and the two heroines are well-defined. The art style and paneling effectively draw the reader into the romantic comedy.

[Original Category] Work: 'Horobi no Hate ni Saku' | Winner: PN Oshibori Award: Rookie Award (30,000 yen) Editorial Review: The story begins with a princess being brought before the Demon King. The princess's unexpected action of kicking the Demon King's subordinate is highly engaging. We look forward to further improvement in art and setting skills.

Work: 'Koisuru Zombie-chan' | Winner: PN Natsuhi Kiiro Award: Rookie Award (30,000 yen) Editorial Review: A story about a zombie girl pursuing a human boy who dislikes gore. The approach, unique to a zombie, is humorous. However, the camera work and direction sometimes hinder readability; focusing on eye-tracking is recommended.
