Manga adaptation refers to the process of transforming a story from another medium, such as a novel, video game, or anime, into a manga format. This involves creating illustrations and dialogue that capture the essence of the original work while making it accessible to a new audience. Manga adaptations often retain key characters and plot points, but may also introduce new elements to fit the comic style. These adaptations can help popularize the original material, reaching fans who prefer reading manga. Notable examples include adaptations of popular anime series or light novels, which often gain a dedicated following in the manga community.
