manga adaptation
Japanese comic remake
A manga adaptation is a work transformed into or from manga—Japanese comic book format.
Most commonly, it refers to anime series, video games, or novels converted into manga form, though it can also mean manga converted to other media.
The direction of adaptation matters: The manga adaptation of the film adds scenes not in the original.
In Western usage, the term usually signals Japanese origin or style.
