People who turn original novels into manga are thinking as hard as they can
Earlier in this article, I mentioned Shogakukan's free manga publishing service. In addition to Shogakukan, there are many other services that allow you to easily read manga on tablet devices.
On the other hand, Amazon's Kindle Unlimited membership is 980 yen per month, but recently, even many books from Iwanami Shoten are included, so I think it's a great deal. The service also includes several monthly comic magazines.
One of them contained a conversation between two people who are drawing manga based on the original of the novel. It was interesting, so I would like to introduce it. In the interview, the words "name" and "panel division" are used as terms peculiar to the manga industry. This and that sites explain it.
In order to meet the expectations of the readers of the original work, the manga artists "overwork their brains to draw manga."
On the other hand, digitization has made the creative activities of manga artists easier. "Tone" in the text refers to screen tone.
Recently, the number of full-length full-color manga is increasing, which is probably due to the benefits of digitization.
Finally, let me give you an example of the original novel and how it was cleverly made into a manga.
The original is a written, objective depiction, but the manga artist creates the iconography and background of the characters. The artist's drawing ability is high, and he succeeds in psychological depiction. This person probably read the original work thoroughly and thought that he wanted to draw a good manga by using his imagination to the fullest.
I think that such creative activities are impossible for AI. At least for now.
