| kanata no astra was ended back in 2017. why it just recently gain attraction? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| @Kuma It seems like even though the final chapter was released in December 2017, the final 5th volume was released last February. According to the comments who voted for the manga said even though it has already finished serializing, there are various elements they want it to win. |

Kuma said: kanata no astra was ended back in 2017. why it just recently gain attraction? anime was announced so maybe thats why |
| When Kanata no Astra was publishing readers were expecting another great comedy manga from Shinohara Kenta who previously done SKET Dance, fans were confused because it was a straightforward science-fiction story about a group of kids lost in space. And unlike SKET Dance, this series published as an online series which mangaka had trouble to advertise it in this form. He tells the story of him creating a twitter account just to spread the news of him working on this manga. His tweets then started to get more attraction when the manga entered its second half of the story. But the reason that the last volume impacted so much is because of which elevated the manga as a whole and made the reader to read it again to see the unseen*. I am really happy Kanata no Astra won the award, i would also be happy if Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike were to win too. |
| Well deserved for Kanata :3 |
