Why it matters
The kuji is built around the original manga's panels and title-page art rather than generic character goods, which puts the 40th anniversary campaign's weight on the source material itself.

The top prizes are the ones tied to specific pages. The Special Prize recreates the room from the chapter "Today Is the Home Visit Day," and its base doubles as an accessory tray. The Last Prize takes the volume 1 cover and shows Maruko as if leaping out of the book, and the official visuals place it beside a copy of the volume for comparison.
The A Prize recreates a panel with a pedestal carrying its line of dialogue. From the B Prize onward the lineup turns to daily-use goods: tote bags and tableware with title-page art, rubber mascots shaped around famous lines and expressions, and pouches and stickers cut from story panels. A Happy Challenge offers another route at the Last Prize figure.
