Re:ZERO, My Hero Academia Top Sugoi Japan Awards 2017 Results

The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper published the winners of its 2017 Sugoi Japan Awards on Thursday. The project promotes pop cultural works that fans feel are most deserving of foreign attention. Divided into four categories — anime, manga, light novels, and "entertainment novels" — the awards promote the works that have the "universality," "originality" and "potential" to be big international hits.
