Which was the first manga to win this award?
In Hindu and yogic traditions and other belief systems, X are energy points or nodes in the subtle body.

Their name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning", but in the yogic context a better translation of the word is 'vortex or whirlpool'


X is also a very important theme in Mashashi Kishimoto's manga series Naruto and is depicted as basic life source.
