"Manga Koshien" This page introduces comics on the web Kochi August 2 13:32
A web distribution event was held to replace "Manga Koshien," which was canceled due to the new coronavirus, and the works drawn by high school students in Japan and overseas were introduced.
"Manga Koshien" is held every year in Kochi Prefecture, where many cartoonists such as Yanase Takashi were born, but the fact that it was canceled due to the new coronavirus was distributed on the web entitled "Manga Koshien Special Issue". It has become an event.
In the morning on the 2nd, the comics that were submitted by Japan, South Korea, Singapore, etc. were introduced under the theme of "too new lifestyle".
This time, the work entwined with the new coronavirus was conspicuous, and among these, the work of the student of the Utsunomiya Bunsei Women's High School who won the highest prize last year did not connect each other's legs with laces at the athletic meet etc. In the figure, it is depicted that the rod is running at a distance so as not to be in close contact.
A manga artist from the Kochi prefecture, Riki Kusaka, also sent a message with a picture-story show, saying, "The creative soul of a manga artist cannot be captured by the new coronavirus. Now I can spread my imagination and draw fun comics. He encouraged high school students.
The manga sent by high school students will be judged and the winning works will be announced on August 5th.
