Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu) (The Bad Part of My Heart) series took the top spot in the sixth "Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishō's" (up-and-coming manga awards) Web Manga category. The romantic comedy follows Anna Yamada, a beautiful school age model and her classmate Kyotaro Ichikawa. Kyotaro is at the very bottom of the social hierarchy and also is plagued by a murderous desire he tries to ignore.
Sakurai responded the series' win:
It's an honor to receive this wonderful award. I'd like to thank not just the voters, but everyone involved in this series. Since the series has the feeling of exposing the vulnerable part of the hero and myself, it's embarrassing to have so many people read it. Please continue to watch the hero grow and the interaction between the two characters. I'm really thankful to you all.
The series was previously a recommended series by Japanese bookstore employees.
It's currently serialized on Manga Cross website.
