American comic book "I Kill Giants" has won the top prize in the Japanese government-sponsored annual international award for manga, the foreign ministry said.
The 2008 book, created by American writer Joe Kelly and Spanish cartoonist J.M. Ken Niimura, was awarded the gold prize out of 145 entries from 30 countries and areas, the ministry announced on Tuesday.
It portrays a socially isolated girl battling monsters both real and imagined as she comes of age.
The three silver prizes went to Asian artists, Pan Liping of China, Cory of Taiwan and Tanis Werasakwong of Thailand. Ten other works were honourably mentioned. (AFP)
