[Middle text: We've received messages from everyone! / (in Gojuon order)]
Happy: Thank you so much, everybody! We'll keep on doing our best!!
[Right-hand column:]
Akamatsu Ken-sensei
Creator of Mahou Sensei Negima!
Congratulations! When I first met you, you had your hair died blond... You'll always be that extremely skilled, speedy, and somewhat scary young man to me.

Ayamine Rando-sensei
Creator of GetBackers ~Dakkan'ya~
Congratulations on receiving this award. I've been looking forward to the day you would finally get it. I'll be cheering you on in future as well!!

Oogure Ito-sensei
Creator of Air Gear
The Great Blue Ascending Dragon of the Manga World (as I've just randomly decided to call him) Mashima Hiro-sensei has received his rightful prize! ...That's the feeling I get. I'm frankly jealous of the sheer energy and passion that you can feel emanating from this guy when you meet him face-to-face. Congratulations!!

Kase Atsushi-sensei
Creator of Zerosen
Ten years ago, when I was first introduced to you at the celebrations for my own Kodansha Manga Award, I never imagined that you would make it all this way. You little success-story, you... you have my honest congratulations!

Kamijou Akimine-sensei
Creator of C0DE:BREAKER
Congratulations on winning the Kodansha Manga Award! Please carrying on writing your energetic manga filled with dreams!

Kawasumi Ayako-san
Seiyuu of Elie in RAVE
Congratulations on your award! I hope you carry on writing works filled with the dreams and adventures that you're so good at.

Mr. Kibayashi
Former Shonen Magazine Editor
Ten years ago, taken by Mashima-san's clear talent, I insisted at an editor's meeting that his work should be serialised. He has since gone on to outdo my expectations and produce one excellent work after another; it makes me truly happy.

[Middle box:]
Kobayashi Toshihiko-sensei
Creator of Pastel
Mashima-kun's "Mashima World", as well as the sheer volume of work he produces, are admirable. I would like to imitate him in terms of output at least, but I won't, because I think it would kill me.

[Left column:]
Saki Hiroto-sensei
Writer of Kaze Densetsu: Bukkomi no Taku
Writer of Bakureon (from Business Jump)

Congratulations on your Kodansha Manga Award. I'll treat you to a case of Guinness sometime~!♡

Nishimoto Hideo-sensei
Creator of Mou, Shimasen Kara
Talent, effort and friendship (with me). Hiro-kun really is a shonen manga-ka who knows how to live. Congratulations on your Kodansha Manga Award!

Mr. Nouchi Masahiro
Monthly Shonen Rival Editor-in-Chief
The heroes of Mashima's works are fiery, passionate men who never give up no matter the situation, and make the impossible possible... and so is Mashima-sensei himself!

Hoshino Yasushi-sensei
Creator of Shigyaku Keiyakusha Fausts
Come to think of it, the first time I met Mr. Mashima was [text deleted here] and so, my deepest congratulations. I look forward to seeing your future work.

Yasuda Tsuyoshi-sensei
Creator of OverDrive
Congratulations, Mashima-sensei. It's great to see your pure and entertaining works getting the recognition they deserve. Please carry on creating dreams for our children in the future.
