   I was so happy just to be nominated, but I didn't expect to win first place!
   I was so happy I thought I was dreaming!
   Thank you so much to all the readers who voted for me!
   I will continue to draw funny and nostalgic manga!
   I think "Shinanonchi no Ikuru" would definitely be interesting if it were made into an anime! If you haven't read it yet, please start with the manga!

   Summary：

   A nostalgic memoir manga from the late Showa to early Heisei periods.
   Ikuru, a silly but lovable young boy, and his older sister, Shinano, who is scary when angry but actually loves her brother.
   The story centers on these siblings and depicts their days filled with laughter.
   Reading this book will surely bring back nostalgic memories and lead you into a nostalgic mood.
   A candy store, rare stickers, die-cutting at festivals, Famicom (NES), kicking a can, dodgeball, 5-step switch bicycles, sign books, paper airplanes, buying and eating, Shonen Jump, secret bases, BB bullets, radio-controlled cars, mini 4WD...
   Back then we were always into something.
