How do manga based on classic novels adapt the original stories?

Films based on stories often simplify the original plot. They need to condense a long story into a two - hour or so movie. For example, in 'The Hobbit' films, some of the side - stories from the book were either cut or streamlined to keep the main plot moving forward. Another way is by emphasizing certain aspects more. In 'Gone Girl', the psychological thriller aspect was enhanced compared to the book.

Overall, the comics of 'The 100' stay true to the core of the original story. They might tweak some details for visual and narrative flow, but the essence remains intact. There are also new perspectives and expanded character arcs that add depth to the story.

Well, they first have to identify the central themes of the novel. In a film based on 'Moby - Dick', the themes of obsession and man vs. nature need to be carried over. Then, they might change the sequence of events a bit for dramatic effect. In 'Dracula' films, the order of some of the vampire's encounters might be adjusted. They also have to make decisions about how much of the novel's dialogue to use. In 'A Tale of Two Cities' films, some of the famous lines from the novel are often included to stay true to the source, but other dialogue might be created for the flow of the film.

Anime from light novel often adapt the original stories by condensing them. They pick out the key plot points and characters to fit within the time constraints of an anime season. For example, in 'Sword Art Online', they had to choose which arcs of the light novel to focus on for the anime adaptation. Sometimes they also make minor changes to the story to make it more visually appealing or easier to understand for the anime - only audience.

Films can introduce the story to a wider audience. For example, people who may not be inclined to read 'Jane Eyre' might watch the film first. If they like it, they may then be motivated to read the novel to get more details.

They often simplify the story. For example, in 'The Witcher' game, not all the complex sub - plots from the novels are included. They pick the main story arcs to make it more accessible for gamers.

Disney often gives the characters different personalities. In the original 'The Little Mermaid', Ariel is more of a tragic figure, but Disney's Ariel is more adventurous and spunky. They also adjust the relationships between characters. In some original stories, the relationships are more complex and less clear - cut. Disney simplifies them to make it easier for the audience to understand. For example, in their version of 'Sleeping Beauty', the relationship between the prince and Aurora is very straightforward, while in the original, there could be more to it.

It depends on various factors. Popularity and fan base of the manga are often key. Studios also look at the story's potential for engaging animation and its commercial viability.

Often, they simplify the plot. For example, in some fantasy novels with extremely complex magic systems and multiple storylines, the TV series might streamline things to make it more accessible to a wider audience. They also sometimes combine characters. This could be to reduce the number of characters to focus on or to create new and more interesting dynamics. Another way is by changing the order of events. Maybe to create more suspense or to fit the episodic nature of a TV show.

Dramas based on light novels usually try to capture the essence of the story. They might condense long - winded descriptions in the novels into visual and auditory elements. Character designs are made to match the descriptions in the novels as closely as possible. And they also have to decide which parts of the story to focus on. For instance, if the light novel has a lot of world - building but the drama has limited time, they'll choose the most important aspects of the world - building to show. Sometimes, they also add new scenes that are not in the light novels but can enhance the overall story, as long as it doesn't deviate too much from the original concept.
