Manga adaptations refer to the process of transforming a story from a different medium, such as a novel, video game, or anime, into a manga format. This involves creating illustrated panels that convey the narrative, often with unique artistic styles and character designs. The goal is to reach a broader audience and provide a new way to experience the original story. These adaptations can vary in fidelity to the source material, with some closely following the original plot and others taking creative liberties. Popular examples include adaptations of light novels and video games, which often attract fans of the original works while introducing new readers to the story.
