As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast, I can confidently say that this news about Tetsuya Chiba receiving Japan’s Order of Culture award is nothing short of monumental. Growing up, Ashita no Joe was one of those series that sparked my love for the genre and introduced me to the profound impact manga can have on its readers.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe as we stand on the precipice of manga history. Tetsuya Chiba, the visionary co-creator of Ashita no Joe, is poised to make history by being the inaugural mangaka to receive a prestigious national award in Japan.
A sports anime aficionado is likely to recognize Ashita no Joe, a franchise that has been running for quite some time now, with multiple anime series and movies under its belt. This story dates back to 1968 when the first chapter was initially published by Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori.
Since that time, the book has persisted, eventually earning Tetsuya recognition with the prestigious Order of Culture award in Japan. Notably, he is the inaugural awardee who is a manga artist in the award’s history.
Achievement not easily accomplished, and something that may draw greater attention to Tetsuya’s art and manga as a whole. While Ashita no Joe is his most significant piece, he had already gained recognition before it began.
Indeed, Harris no Kaze, a manga centering around a defiant young boy discovering peace through sports, was groundbreaking as it became the first to be reissued in volumes, significantly altering the industry’s landscape. Over time, Akane-chan, Ore wa Teppei, he has contributed numerous influential works, each making an indelible impact in their unique fashion.
Indeed, it’s only right that he receives such an honor. Unfortunately, Asao’s passing in 1987 denied him the opportunity to share this recognition with Tetsuya and witness the enduring strength of Asao’s creative legacy.
In 2018, the Harvey Awards expanded their categories to include Best Manga. Notable Japanese creators like Kohei Horikoshi (creator of My Hero Academia) and Tatsuki Fujimoto (creator of Chainsaw Man) have been recognized in this category.
Currently, there’s speculation that Tetsuya could soon join Osamu Tezuka and Rumiko Takahashi in the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame, as they were previously inducted posthumously.
