manga adaptation

A manga adaptation is a version of a story originally created in another medium, such as a novel, video game, or anime, transformed into the Japanese comic book format called manga. This process involves reinterpreting the story’s plot, characters, and setting into sequential art—panels of illustrations paired with dialogue and narration. The adaptation aims to capture the essence and appeal of the original work while making it accessible to manga readers, often emphasizing visual storytelling techniques unique to the medium. It requires careful consideration of pacing, character design, and cultural nuances to ensure the essence of the original is preserved.
