I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

Judging solely from box office and social impact, "Love Like a Bouquet" is undoubtedly the frontrunner for the Best Film of the Year award. However, many seasoned industry professionals present, including Suo Shun and director Doi, knew in their hearts that things might not be so simple.

In the third row, Suo Shun turned to look at director Doi Kiwato beside him and slowly began to speak.

"I'm already very satisfied to have won two awards this time."

"Yes, thanks to Genkawa-kun."

Director Doi also showed a gentle and gratified smile.

"However... I think we shouldn't have too high expectations for the Best Film of the Year award."

"yes..."

Suo Shun, being the son of a passionate filmmaker, is well aware of the unspoken rules of the Tokyo Film Academy Awards jury. They have never liked to let a film win big or to let a film sweep all the major awards.

"After all, to maintain balance within the industry, we need to take into account the feelings of more filmmakers."

"If 'Love Like a Bouquet' sweeps the three major awards of Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Film, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other filmmakers, which is not a good thing for the authority of the Tokyo Film Academy Awards."

"Yes, but we've already had a very fruitful day, at least..."

Suoh Hayabusa smiled, then glanced at Suoh Shogo sitting on the other side, whose face was ashen and seemed to be about to leave.

"In my opinion, the best film of the year will most likely be awarded to the big-budget film 'Rurouni Kenshin' released at the beginning of this year."

Suoh Shun glanced at a crew member in the first row and slowly analyzed.

"Yes, I remember this movie has already grossed over 12 billion yen, right?" Director Doi, as someone in the industry, pays close attention to the data.

"Moreover, it is backed by a major production company like Warner Bros. in Japan, so it seems to have considerable influence."

While the "burning" genre may not be able to get into the Tokyo Academy of Film Awards, that doesn't mean other companies can't, especially multinational giants whose influence here is immeasurable.

I think so too.

Suoh Shun stroked his chin. "Although Rurouni Kenshin is a manga adaptation, it is not limited to the framework of manga adaptation. I feel that it still has a lot of potential."

"Anyway, our trip today has been worthwhile, hahaha."

"Yes, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Director Doi's gaze shifted to the stage. He had great confidence in Genkawa Yu, always believing that the other was no ordinary person and would eventually reach a level that others would look up to.

Hasn't the first sign already appeared today?

On the stage, Yu Genkawa has walked step by step to Mai Sakurajima's side.

According to the awards ceremony program, Yu Genkawa only needed to go on stage to receive the Best Actor trophy and certificate, give a brief acceptance speech, and then leave the stage.

Mai Sakurajima clearly had no intention of following the proper procedure. She held the trophy and certificate tightly in her hands, a gentle yet sly smile on her face.

Clearly, she intended to chat with Genkawa Yu a bit longer and linger a little longer.

"Yu-san Genkawa, congratulations on winning the Best Actor award at the Tokyo Film Academy Awards. That's amazing."

Her voice was gentle, and her gaze remained fixed on Genkawa Yu.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sakurajima-san. I still have a lot to learn, and I am far behind you."

Genkawa Yu thought it was just a casual remark, since the awards ceremony had nothing interesting to offer except for the list of names.

However, he did not expect that Mai Sakurajima was clearly planning to continue causing trouble.

"By the way, Genkawa-san, I'm curious, did you experience anything interesting while filming 'Love Like a Bouquet'? Could you share it with us?"

At this point, Mai Sakurajima paused deliberately, her gaze sweeping past Yu Genkawa towards the audience below, before landing precisely on Akane Kurokawa in the third row.

Her gaze met Kurokawa Akane's for a fleeting moment in the air before they looked away.

"Uh..."

Genkawa Yu glanced at Kurokawa Akane below the stage and noticed that the other person's expression was calm, but a shadowy light flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the consensus they reached last time did not really change their relationship.

So he turned his head slightly, urging Mai Sakurajima with his eyes to stop causing trouble, while continuing to speak.

"This is my first time making a romance movie, and I feel like I'm really putting myself in the protagonist's shoes. There are a lot of things I need to think about."

"As for the funny things, does the fact that we had to wait a long time to film a crying scene count? Haha, crying scenes are indeed very difficult."

After saying this, Genkawa Yu gestured again with his eyes.

Mai Sakurajima was incredibly intelligent; she instantly understood what he meant.

It seems we'll have to wait a while before we can address this issue.

Mai Sakurajima wasn't a capricious person; she knew what Yuu Genkawa was thinking, so she smiled.

"Well, if three people die, that's quite interesting."

"Really."

Genkawa Yu glanced at him calmly, a hint of helplessness in his smile.

"Then let's present the awards!"

Mai Sakurajima and Yu Genkawa stood together during the award ceremony.

Perhaps because the two looked so well-matched standing together, although there was little discussion in the audience, the live stream chat was completely flooded with comments from the [Yuan Ying] CP fans.

"My goodness, the way Sakurajima looks at Yu-kun is so sweet! This can't be just a normal relationship, can it?"

"Yes, Sakurajima-san deliberately stalled for time just now. Although Yu-kun seemed helpless, he didn't look angry. Instead, he seemed to be indulging in a strange way. The relationship between these two is definitely not ordinary!"

"I bet those two are definitely together!"

"I'll bet too!"

"No matter what, they are a match made in heaven, I'm such a fan of them!"

"【Sakura】is the best!"

After receiving the certificate and trophy from Mai Sakurajima, Yu Genkawa bowed to the crowd below the stage and then began to give his acceptance speech.

"Thank you everyone, thank you to the judges for their recognition. This honor belongs to me, and also to everyone who has supported and encouraged me. I will cherish this honor and continue to move forward, living up to every expectation and every passion."

Genkawa Yu's sincerity once again won the favor of everyone in the audience, and thunderous applause and cheers rang out again from below the stage.

Surprisingly, at the moment Genkawa Yu bowed, Sakurajima Mai also bowed slightly to the crowd below the stage, as if to thank everyone for their recognition of her man.

This was a subconscious action on her part, but in essence, presenters are not required to bow to the audience.

So... this action once again became the source of celebration for CP fans.

Wow, they're such a perfect match!

"Wait, what does it mean when Sakurajima-san bows together? Is it to thank everyone for their recognition of Yu-kun?"

"What does it mean for a husband and wife to be in harmony? This is it!"

"Wow, could these two really be together?"

Meanwhile, in a luxury mansion in Tokyo, three girls sat around a giant screen, each with a different expression on their face.

Yuki Natsukawa and Mariko Shiraha, as the biggest fans of the [Yuuka x Aka] pairing, looked somewhat helpless after seeing this scene, while Rina Fuyumi, a big fan of the [Minamoto x Sakura] pairing, was already laughing out loud.

"Hahaha!"

"What I told you, this is the real thing!"

"This is much more real than your [Yuichi] pairing hype. Sakurajima-san's action was subconscious, I definitely didn't see it wrong!"

"I do not believe!"

Yuki Natsukawa and Mariko Shiraha exchanged a glance, then stared at Rina Fuyumi and said, "I think Yu-kun and Kurokawa-san are the best match."

"Hmph, keep struggling, I hope you'll still be stubborn when it's officially announced!"

Because of the promotional strategy of creating a CP (couple pairing), the [Yuu Akashi] CP has always been overshadowed by the [Yuu Akashi] CP in the community. This time, they finally found an opportunity to let Fuyumi Rina get her revenge.

"Don't get too cocky, I'm afraid Kurokawa-san and Yu-kun might just make their relationship official!"

Yuki Natsukawa was not about to admit defeat. Looking at the "arrogant" Fuyumi, she said seriously, "My judgment is definitely correct!"

"is it?"

Fuyumi smiled, then glanced at the two well-matched figures on the big screen, "We, [Minamoto no Sakura], are the ultimate winners!"

"Seriously, everyone, stop arguing."

Although Shiraha Mariko is a fan of the "Yu-Aka" pairing, she has a gentle personality, so she smiled as she watched the two of them.

"We are all fans of Yu-kun."

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Yuki Natsukawa and Rina Fuyumi exchanged a glance, then turned their heads together.

Meanwhile, news about [Yuan Ying] appearing together on the internet began to emerge continuously, and various discussions and fermentations took place on Twitter.

After all, the combined fame of Yu Genkawa and Mai Sakurajima is already a terrifying level.

Even before the awards ceremony ended, almost the entire Japanese internet was focused on tonight's awards night.

Almost all of the top ten trending topics on Twitter are Yu Genkawa and Mai Sakurajima.
