"Manga sales have been increasing for the past few years, but 2021 was phenomenal," ICv2 Publisher Milton Griepp said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "There is no question that it has become a linchpin of the American comics market, and understanding this important category is more important than ever before. We’re proud to continue our tradition of devoting a week to in-depth coverage of manga, and we want to thank our sponsors, VIZ Media, Yen Press, Tokyopop, ABLAZE, and Saturday A.M. for their support."
