Another well-deserved honour for a beloved creator. If this ever happened to me, I'd make people call me Chevalier...

The presidential medal of freedom is the closest thing we have. But as far as I know Takahashi’s mangas are not as popular here as they seemingly are in other foreign countries.

"The presidential medal of freedom" it's the most USA name I can think.

Because in the US it would just be used as a PR stunt . The US isn't that interested in comics or manga relatively compared to other countries.
