Makoto Kaneuji, a representative from event organizer Manga CPO, spoke with a lot of enthusiasm, telling the audience "We have received so many applicants, all the artists who entered have really helped us move forward. For the next event, I think that it would be a lot of fun to animate the winning works and turn them into anime!"

Here are some of the guests carefully looking through the manga displayed on desks at venue. There was also a big screen projecting shots from the public screening.
