Under the contest's original rules, authors would waive creative rights through submitting their work, including royalties and licensing, although this paragraph was later removed after user backlash.

Uh, didn't they learn their lesson already when Tokyopop tried something similar with their OEL lineup back in the day? Confused

In general, in Japan authors/mangaka retain rights to their works, though they may be shared with the publisher.

That's quite peculiar to read.

Also, thoughts on the winners?

Ah, I knew I remembered something about this contest being dodgy. I couldn't remember what, but seeing the results be advertised, I just felt something was off.
Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I wonder what will happen to these stories, rights and royalties wise.
