Comments from the organizer

The funny double punchlines just make you can't stop laughing. The pictures match the story perfectly and you will probably get the feeling of "you got me!"

Overseas Participant Award

Title: DIY
Manga artist: Phaitoon Thien-Ngern

With the excellent depiction of feeling cold in the snow and enjoying knitting, as well as the straightforward punchline, it is indeed an interesting piece without using a single word.

Comments from the organizer

The idea of using a spider is quite creative, and we like how it turns over and lies down on the net, enjoying the knit in a relaxing way.

Manga Museum Award

Title: Yoo-hoo / おーい
Manga artist: Soudamiku / ソウダミク

After the 3rd TOKIWA Creator Award and the 4th Grand Prize, Soudamiku has ben awarded for 3 consecutive years including this year's work! The cute characters and the humour are the most attractive elements!

Not only the good drawing skills, the brilliant "sandan-ochi / three-part joke". Please keep up the good work and create more interesting 4-frame manga.

Manga artist: new sarawut

Congratulations for winning the asianbeat FUKUOKA, JAPAN Award! Keep up the good work!

It's perhaps a wish that most people have thought of before. It's interesting how the angel's halo's been related to the punchline!
