WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY VERTICAL. IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS. See, we could release the actual Kino no Tabi novels, but nope. Rekt, eyediots. You get some (probably) crappy manga adaptation instead.

I wonder if they're testing the waters for licensing the Kino novels by seeing how a less-lengthy (and maybe less translation-intensive) manga adaptation sells. Also interesting to see that they got a Harta title, since I believe they usually get Kodansha titles.
Anyway, I'll probably pick up the Sidonia omnibuses if I can. I've heard good things about the series but I never got past the first volume since it kinda confused me. Reading more of it at once will hopefully help. |

Huh. I thought that there would be happy people here with the Kino’s Journey news based on the responses from this article, animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3059126,
but looks like nobody wants it anymore. I’m glad with this news though and I look forward to seeing how many volumes of it will be available when 2019 comes. |

I would have been happy enough with just the Manga, had the headline made it clear it actually is the Manga, but I was getting ready to message my friends with the awesome news, only to get "disappointed" in the article.
Don't get me wrong, I'll buy the Manga in a heartbeat, pre-ordering it the day it get's listed. That's not the point. I just feel so let down, because for, like, 15sek, I thought I was finally seeing a re-release of the novels. And I think the novels are superb. My country ran 4 volumes before canceling them, and they're just great. I think they range somewhere between the new and old Anime in storytelling. The new one felt a bit bland, but to be honest, the old one embellished the stories quite a bit, sometimes changing the stories' meaning quite a bit. Those weird, out-of-the-world artsy bits, that many people love the old Anime so much for, are kinda not in the novels.

Chiming in with my desire for a Kino's Journey novel license as well.
Also, the manga volume cover used for Kino for this article is the wrong Kino manga. That one's by Gou. The one by Iruka looks like this. |

https://twitter.com/AnimeNewsNet/status/997618100609699841 Actually, the given name of Japan's first Prime Minister 伊藤博文 Itō Hirobumi is Hirobumi. Not Hirodumi. https://japan.kantei.go.jp/cabinet/01_e.html http://www.ndl.go.jp/portrait/e/datas/12.html http://kodanshabunko.com/holmesvsito/ Haven't you seen this picture when you have posted it on the article, Ms Ressler? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71KulwNfrjL.jpg |

I also hope the Kino's Journey novels will be released in English someday.
I was interested in the novels after the first anime series, and bought the one book from Tokyopop that came out in English. After the second anime series, I was interested in the novels in an additional way, to see the extent to which the stories, and in particular Kino's character and morality, are consistent with each anime series. Seeing a third interpretation doesn't interest me as much, unless I had reason to believe it stayed very close to the novels. Since this manga was started last year, I'd also wonder if the second TV series had any influence on it. I might still check out this manga, though. Coup d'État, thanks for weighing in on the first four novels. I hope I'll be able to see for myself someday. After reading Suxinn's post, I looked at the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kino%27s_Journey which says:
I find it interesting that 2 different manga started in 2017; I wonder how they differ. |

Shiomiya Kino is straight adaptation from the first novel. While Gou's picks random stories (some don't appear in anime). |

So which one is it? The one by Shiomiya or the one by Gou? The picture shows the Gou manga, but the article is referencing Iruka Shiomiya...
There was an interview with Sigsawa and Shiomiya before the latest anime aired where they discussed the details on how the manga came to be. Somewhere they mentioned that the Shiomiya manga will focus on the "orthodox" stories, thus starting with the earlier chapters. The other manga will focus on action-heavy chapters because the artist, Gou, is apparently good with guns. Here is that part of the interview:
