"Gyakutama Keikaku" (The Plan of a Gold Digging Man) is a work that you can't help but want to read! You're sure to be enthralled by the way that the main character's unpredictable approach grabs hold of Arisugawa's heart.

(Seguchi)In terms of expressing desire, you see kind of work quite often, so I would like to see a little bit more ingenuity to draw a little bit more out of the story. But out of the works we've seen in this year's competition, the characters really stand out in this story, which is great.

(Ueyama) "The depiction of the male character as a kind of lovable scumbag and the way the story ends is really refreshing. The artist will get better and better the more they draw. It's a really fun work!"
