The Summit of the Gods (Japanese: 神々の山嶺, Hepburn: Kamigami no Itadaki) is a manga series written and illustrated by Jiro Taniguchi. Based on a 1998 novel by Baku Yumemakura,[2][1] it follows Fukamachi, a photographer who finds a camera supposedly belonging to George Mallory, a mountaineer who went missing on Mount Everest, and goes on a mountain-climbing adventure along with his friend Habu Joji.[3]

Reception

In 2001, it was awarded a prize for excellence by the Agency for Cultural Affairs at the Japan Media Arts Festival, which praised its "powerful illustrations [that] seem to transport the reader right up into the mountains."[2] Its English adaptation received a nomination for Ignatz Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel and Outstanding Series in 2010.[3] The fourth English volume also was nominated at the 2014 Eisner Award in the category "Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia".[15]
