■ ARBOR (Thursday) Award ■
"Record of Ragnarok"
Art: Ajichika, Original: Umemura Shinya, Composition: Fukui Takumi/Core Mix
Reasons for the award
Many readers, mostly men in their 20s, started reading after seeing "If you wait, it's free" and became addicted. It is also notable that the category points for "first work purchased on Piccoma" are high.
Loved by both boys' manga fans and young men's manga fans,
When the latest volume 6 was released, it reached number one on Piccoma's daily rankings.
"Piccoma AWARD WEEK" begins!
To celebrate the Piccoma AWARD 2020, Piccoma will be holding the Piccoma AWARD WEEK event from May 23rd (Sat) to June 7th (Sun), where you can read the seven award-winning works at a discount.
In addition to free distribution of the award-winning works and an expansion of the range of "wait and get it for free," starting from May 25th (Mon), a coin rebate campaign will be held for one week, named after the "day of the week," which is the origin of the Piccoma AWARD's name. For one hour only each day from May 25th (Mon) to May 31st (Sun), if you purchase a work from an award-winning day during that time, you will receive a rebate of the full purchase price of that work.
Please see the special website for the author's acceptance speech and details of the award.
