Gaiman Award
The Gaiman Award is a Japanese award given since 2011 to comic books created outside Japan and translated to Japanese. The word "gaiman" is a shortening of gaikoku no manga, encompassing styles like American comics, French bande dessinée and Korean manhwa. The award is sponsored by Kyoto International [Manga Museum], Kitakyushu Manga Museum and Meiji University's Yonezawa Memorial Library of Manga and Subculture and was created to raise awareness of non-Japanese comics in Japan.
