Can we please talk about how this fucking masterpiece is getting

I don't know if I want a manga adaptation. It will probably be a disappointment.

How so? If they stick close enough to the source material I'm not too sure what could go wrong. Plus there is the added bonus of them staying more true to the LN artwork for Kino, instead of that kind of odd soft and round style they did for the anime (not that there was anything wrong with that).

Adapting something isn't just about sticking close to the source. You need to reinterpret things in order for them to work in the new medium. What you have now is a third party interpreting things in a new way.
That's why most adaptations disappoint people who know the original.

I would say novel to manga has to be one of the easiest ways to adapt. For something as niche as this however, I guess I can kind of see what you're saying. Either they are going to adapt it really well, and it's going to sell poorly. Or they are going to rework it hard to fit with modern trends and it's going to be really disappointing.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

I had a really dull moment and thought "Adaptation of what?" because I hadn't thought of Kino for so long.

How long will this take, and what form as said by >>153657545 ?

I'd hate to think of it being fucked around with for modern appeal.
