Comment from the Winner:
Hi! First of all, I’m so happy and honored to be chosen as the Grand winner of this year’s competition! When I saw the theme of Light and Darkness, the first thing that came to my mind was that light and shadow exist because of each other, and so do evil and goodness. Because of this, I created a brave hero and a kind dragon to break the stereotype in my story. Just like there are two sides to every coin, a creature that sounds evil can also be kind in some way. Also, to depict the theme of light and darkness in the story, the time of the comic was set at dusk, and the story was told using colors and changes in light and dark. I am very happy that the judges appreciated my work. There are still areas where I can improve, and I will continue my efforts to do so! Overall, I want to thank my teachers, family, and friends who supported me during the contest and thank you to the judges and to Clip Studio Paint. Thank you so much!

Comment from the Winner:
I am sincerely grateful to the judges for choosing my comic as the Comic Category award winner. I’ve been super passionate about comics since I was little, so I am very happy. But I had never published a comic of my own before, so I was also very nervous. For this year’s topic, I wanted to explore the relationship between light and darkness. I wanted to write about how not only they are opposites, but also how they coexist. In my comic, I tried to do this by representing light and darkness through life and death. I had no prior story writing experience, so I had to put a lot of effort into this comic. I struggled a lot and I made a lot of mistakes. But in the end, I think it was a very fulfilling experience. I can’t say I’ve achieved perfection, and I know I still have a lot to learn. But this contest has given me an immense amount of confidence and courage. This was my first comic but it won’t be my last. I will keep trying hard to improve my skills so that one day, I too can achieve my dream of finding my own place in the art world.

Comment from the Winner:
First, I would like to thank the judges for choosing my work out of so many excellent entries. I am truly honored and very happy. I had been doing illustration-related work for a long time before learning about manga creation. After starting to study manga out of curiosity, I was unexpectedly fascinated and realized that drawing manga was really interesting. I like to draw things related to everyday life, so I drew along the theme of little happenings between lovers. The inexperience of a man and woman starting a relationship and testing each other is like exploring a vast dark cave. The word "Lucia" in the title is derived from the traditional Swedish festival, St. Lucia's Day. It is held on the longest and darkest night of the year, and I believe it's meant to welcome light after experiencing darkness.

Comment from the Winner:
Since I was 12 years old, it has been my dream to make a webtoon or manga of my own. I would often share the story of it to my friends and even draw the characters, but I never pushed through it or published it online because I was very shy about it. So when I saw this contest, I thought it was a great opportunity to finally make my own webtoon and follow my dreams. I think Sorajima’s comment on my story was the most encouraging. My story was really analyzed in every detail through their comments. Reading it made me feel very motivated in creating and improving my skills in both art and storytelling. I think it was very fun and I have learned a lot in creating comics and managing my time because I had to manage my time between schoolworks and other contests in schools and this contest, too. In the end, I had fun joining this contest.

Comment from the Winner:
I don't have the words to express the honor I feel of having won this award nor the words to express my gratitude for those who awarded it to me. I participated in the competition in order to have a first experience in the world of competition, to get into the swing of things as you say. When teachers presented the shadow and light theme to us, I immediately wanted to tackle this one as a symbolism, that is to say, how I could present this shadow and light dynamic in a human relationship. This is what I wanted to do with My two characters Aro and Aina. Aina meaning "life" in Malagasy (my native language), and ARO meaning “protection”. So it's a shadow that protects at all costs its light which gives it life. I wanted to focus on the structure for a smooth reading of the story, but also on lights and shadows to accompany the theme. In the future, I would like to become an artist who is not afraid to get out of her comfort zone. And I think this work helped me get closer to this goal because it was the first time I told a story with action, a little epic and somewhat fantasy. I also want to tell stories that touch me and which can touch others. I thank my teachers for their precious feedback on this project, but also my family and my classmates for their support. I would once again like to thank Clip Studio, jury members and sponsors, both for their inspiring, benevolent and constructive feedback and also for this wonderful prize. Thank you.

Comment from the Winner:
First of all, I want to thank the jury for choosing this work as the winner. I did this webcomic in collaboration with my friend, and we did it without thinking it would get the first prize. It's not the first time we have participated in this contest, so this time, we tried to put into practice what we learned from our past participation. We decided to use Tachibana's work because her story depicts hope in a discouraging environment. We modified the story's structure a little bit to tell it differently. We also worked with the colors to show the moments when the protagonist felt the light and the darkness in his life, and we also wanted to depict the main theme of this contest by showing the contrast between the personalities of the two main characters. It is very encouraging that our work was selected. It is a boost to continue in this world of comics and improve for future projects. Thank you very much.

Comment from the Winner:
Hi, I’m really honored and grateful to be awarded the grand prize in the illustration category in this year’s international comic/manga school competition, when I first got notice I was beyond elated, and till this day it still feels kind of surreal just like I wanted my illustration “Gaia” to feel like. I approached this year’s theme “light and darkness” trying to portray a story that could be interpreted differently depending on the details that attracted the viewers the most, mainly to showcase that everyone sees the light and darkness in their lives differently When I entered this competition, my intent was to deliver an illustration that I was totally happy with and hopefully to grow as an artist as well, and now thanks to the amazing people from Clip Studio Paint, my pals and family that encouraged me in every step I took, I feel really excited about the bright future. Once again thanks a lot to the judges, and people from Clip Studio Paint, for hosting this competition and choosing me as the grand illustration winner.
