In past years, Kodansha gave out a "Best Children's Manga" award as well, but starting in 2015 Kodansha has integrated the nominees for that category into the Best Shōnen Manga and Best Shōjo Manga categories instead.
Last year, Taiki Kawakami's That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime won the Best Shonen Manga award. Rikachi's Nina the Starry Bride won the Best Shōjo Manga award. Miko Yasu's Police in a Pod won the Best General Manga award.
