Let’s read The Kinks.
It’s interesting.

I dislike it because it’s vulgar and nonsensical, but I think manga is interesting.

Is it really okay to award such a prize to Toshinori Enomoto!?That’s fine, it’s not something that decreases.

Sometimes I’m surprised because they suddenly insert terrible violence and death into the gag.

The Kinks are surprisingly enjoyable to read smoothly without any vulgar elements or nonsensicality.

The donut appliqué is nice.

The anime of Enomoto was really great, so please make more…

The Kinks are continuously hitting me with nostalgia I have experienced and nostalgia I wanted to experience.

I’m happy to help!

I was surprised to find that the author I read about in the newspaper was a recipient of an award without knowing anything beforehand.

The Kinks were so genuinely entertaining.
I thought the poison had faded with age, but they relentlessly release new under-3 works.

I thought it was the Tezuka Award, but it was actually a prize I didn’t know well.

Gintama has already declined at the point of passing the first selection, and Kimetsu no Yaiba has made it to the final selection multiple times without winning, which makes it a dubious award from Asahi Shimbun, so well…

It feels like there are works that are easily understandable and works that are completely incomprehensible.

The first award-winning work was in 1997 and it was Doraemon.
Well, it’s starting to get confusing; Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.

The Mu were just too nonsensical…

There are many vulgar comics, but it’s undeniable that they are the work of a genius author…

I thought it was an unknown manga award, but I’m glad to find out that Rintaro drew an autobiography manga and won the grand prize.

It’s a more solid comic award than the Bungeishunju Manga Award.

It’s fun to get excited about manga that seems like it could be found at a second-hand store while drinking or manga that might win the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.
I know that it’s really, really not a good enjoyment.

Oh
I see that Rika Kayama was on the judging panel.
I don’t have anything special to say.

Looking at the list of award-winning works, there are many veteran-looking manga artists and naive works.
Shunji Enomoto and Suehiro Maruo are somewhat out of place.

I didn’t know that Professor Enomoto had an assistant…
Are they doing things like the tone of poop and corpses on this page?

It feels like Kinks is putting more effort into the artwork than before, so they probably need assistants as well.

But if there was a time when Rika Kayama advocated for Golden Lucky to win the grand prize.
No matter how annoying their behavior is, I might end up forgiving them because (but they really like cockroaches, huh…).

Osamu Tezuka is more likely to say things like this than not.

Koyama Rika is not here now.

It’s just the same kind of safe selections as being chosen for “This Manga is Amazing.”

It seems healthier than the awards decided by Rumiko Tezuka.

I don’t think it was that safe considering it was nominated for a recommendation in the first year.
There’s also the fact that the selection committee is quite intense up until around the third year.

The Kinks are quite seriously stepping into the realm of literature.

That illustration looks like a famous detective, Sousuke Araba…

Why is Taro Yabe here?

I think of the Kinks in the same vein as Johnny.

I love Mu and the others the most, so I want to read more…

After I read a preview of the first chapter of Kinks, it really had no context at all. Is the whole thing like that?

Is it like the Nobel Peace Prize of the manga world?

Taro Yabe will probably fall into the category of essays or comics written by comedians.
It’s not just because I wrote a manga that sold normally.

I first encountered Toshini Enomoto in The Kinks, but for some reason, I cried in the first episode.

The late-night radio episode was just too good.

I read one episode and it was interesting until the play started.

Detail shop!

A manga that makes everyday things, which are not special to anyone else but the person themselves, feel special through the power of illustrations.
The Kinks

I think it would be nice to read about late-night radio, summer festival live events, going to see movies, and drawing manga.

The composition of just a truck backing up was really great.

You’re managing to do Kinks and Under 3 at the same time without going crazy, huh?

Why was a man who can draw something like this drawing “Roll Me! Roll You” instead!? Detail guyーーーーーー！

I don’t really understand Kinks.
Under three is reassuring.

Is there anything good about the Kinks’ wife besides her appearance?

When it’s drawn seriously as erotic, it becomes quite erotic and it’s a problem.

Seriously, Under 3 is a masterpiece, huh?

The only artist allowed to depict unedited genitals and ejaculation in mainstream manga.

The atmosphere inside the car from my younger brother’s perspective on the way home after going to see a movie with the family.
It was so amazing that it left me breathless with nostalgia.

Wasn’t she a terrible wife for just about one episode?

Mochi-chan is super cute.
