‘Manga adaptation’ refers to the process of translating and adapting a manga into another medium, such as an anime series, live-action film, or another comic book. It often differs from Western comic book adaptations due to the manga's unique visual style, panel layout, and storytelling conventions, requiring a careful and respectful approach to maintain the original's essence.
