The final result of Big-Comic Award
Comments from the judges.
The story-lines of contestants are generally depressive and not fresh.
Overall, they lack reality.
Kumada:
The judges/professional writers say the stories are dark and depressive.
Kikuchi:
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky is also depressive. But no critics complain about it.
Kumada:
But nobody wants to read depressive stories.
Kikuchi:
You mean everyone wants to read Manga-comics that full of love and intelligence and happiness?
