Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan manga — each received a nomination in the Best Adaptation from Comic Book/Graphic Novel category.
The Harvey Awards won the award in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
In previous years, manga were nominated alongside other comics in the "Best American Edition of Foreign Material" category. The last manga to win the category was Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan in 2014. Showa: A History of Japan (1953-1989) were nominated in 2016 but did not win. "Best American Edition of Foreign Material" is no longer a category.
Unlike the Eisner Awards and other awards in the North American comic book industry, the Harvey Awards are nominated and selected by the comic book professionals themselves.
The Harvey Awards will announce the winners at New York Comic Con on October 18.
