Your Japan Expo Awards Winners

The French-language comics news and clearinghouse ActuaBD.com has a brief report up from the comics part of Japan Expo Awards, given out to various forms of artistic expression including comics at the beginning of the festival. As manga's role at Angouleme has not grown to match its market share, some folks believe that the Expo is a bigger event for those comics in Europe. Also: the reporter seemed to really hate the ceremony, basically accusing it of lifelessness, although there's not a ton of detail. The winners by category are:
