Anime Ranking of Kings premiered on October 14 and lasted 23 episodes.
Tōka has been serializing the manga on the user-submitted manga website Manga Hack and other locations since May 2017.
Previous winners of the past few years of the Galaxy Awards include the live-action TV series adaptation of What Did You Eat Yesterday?
