Chuuya Koyama, the author of Space Brothers, said the following comment about receiving the prize: “I’m not very familiar with e-books, so it struck me as a surprise that everyone reads it in e-book form... But since they are easy to carry around, which means that fans have Space Brothers at their side all the time, it makes me very happy. ”
