The 2nd TATESC COMICS Global Awards (English entries)

Due to the problems occurring on several KADOKAWA Group websites, The TATESC COMICS Global Awards (https://promo.kadokawa.co.jp/tatesc/en/) sites continue to be unavailable. Until the service is restored, we have prepared a temporary webpage for The 2nd TATESC Comics Global Awards (English entries).
