"Resenter," a U.S. comic by Gigi Murakami as part of Viz Media's one-shot program, received a nomination for Digital Book of the Year.
The Harvey Awards added the Best Manga category in 2018. Kabi Nagata's My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness manga won the first award in this category. Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia won the award in 2019, and Kamome Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier won the award in 2020. Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man won the award in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Ryōko Kui's Delicious in Dungeon won the award in 2024.
In previous years, manga were nominated alongside other comics in the "Best American Edition of Foreign Material" category. The last manga to win the category was Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan in 2014. One-Punch Man and Showa: A History of Japan (1953-1989) were nominated in 2016 but did not win. "Best American Edition of Foreign Material" is no longer a category.
Unlike the Eisner Awards and other awards in the North American comic book industry, the Harvey Awards are nominated and selected by the comic book professionals themselves.
The Harvey Awards will announce the winners at New York Comic Con on October 10.
