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, Ryōsuke Fuji and Katarina's Shangri-La Frontier won the Best Shōnen Manga award. Mamoru Aoi's My Girlfriend's Child won the Best Shōjo Manga award. Misaki Takamatsu's Skip and Loafer won the Best General Manga award.
