3rd place: Cosmic Princess Kaguya!

An overworked, high-spec high school girl × a high-energy Princess Kaguya × a virtual idol!?

A little way into the future.
Iroha Sakayori, an overworked, ultra-capable high school girl living alone to focus on getting into the University of Tokyo, is on her way home one day when she finds a mysterious baby—emerging from a rainbow-glowing “gaming utility pole”!

But that baby rapidly grows up right before her eyes, turning into a spoiled girl who absolutely adores Iroha!
Claiming she came from the moon, the girl is named “Kaguya” by Iroha.
However, once Kaguya learns how The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter ends, she makes a bold declaration—

“I’m going to make it a happy ending. No matter what!”

And then, for some reason, she sets her sights on becoming a top idol in Japan’s largest virtual world, “Tsukuyomi”…!?

3rd place: Classroom of the Elite: Year 3 Vol. 4

The third-year uninhabited-island survival game exam is over. With every student exhausted, the next challenge is announced: the Special Token Collection Exam. Sixteen students, four from each class, form a group and collect tokens while competing against ten groups in total. Any student whose tokens hit zero first during the exam, as well as the student with the lowest token count in the entire grade at the end, will be expelled. The tasks for earning tokens test raw ability, including academics and athletic skill. Tokens can be transferred, but on a vast deserted island, the timing for handing them to a specific student is limited. Then one student begins to run wild by exploiting the rules...
"Since I'm the one who decided to have you expelled, I can at least hear out that much of a wish."

1st place: A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring Vol. 19

Takumi lost his life due to a mistake by Sylphyreel, the wind goddess, and was reincarnated in another world. After rescuing the twins Allen and Elena in the forest, he began living as an adventurer. Whether strolling outside the city with a prince, catching hordes of monsters that might make good pets, or gathering piles of rare mushrooms, Takumi and the twins continue to enjoy life in the royal capital while showing off their unbelievable luck. Then one day, just as Takumi is taking a breather after finishing a jewelry order, Elena appears before him with hair as long as Allen's...!?
