Chou Kaguya-hime! - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

[MegaMeo]

I actually wonder why do manga adapt from that animated movie anyway. And I even want to know if the storyline and the vision for the movie and the manga (I hear there's a novel also???) is going to match up.
Is it because the movie is technically a "pilot episode" of sorts? And now they get to continue the story with another media or something?

And most importantly, will there be extra content?
It would be kind of a letdown if it's simply "adaptation" like it's from a manga to an anime. Because from an actual high-budget film to a manga, there will be many cuts on content and details. If that's the case, then one would be better off just watching the film from the start.

It's pretty normal for original anime to get adaptation into other media like manga and novel, for example Madoka series and its 3rd movie Rebellion also got manga (straightforward adaptions with barely any changes for the plot). I think it's because tv series will be streamed on tv, and movie being on theater for a period of time before they stop and start selling Bluray Disk thereafter, so those adaptation might serve for PR. But well, CPK is not a theater release movie, it's a Netflix one, so yeah this feels rather redundant.

As for extra content, we will have to wait and see. Though for this way too fast pacing of the manga, I doubt we would get some. That said, I just peeked a little at chapter 3 raw, it does give a bit different touch like showing the brother irl learning about the newcomer group Kaguya/IroP, and that he quickly realized the one in the fox suit was his sister, but still not really "extra content".

I see, I guess I just don’t know the anime space all that well. As of now I still feel like the extra manga and stuff feels just a bit redundant.
Because it content from the canon material themselves. If they’re not bringing anything new (I could hardly call making a “film” into a manga something “new”) or not giving us anything better (I thought making the “High-budget Netflix Film” into a manga like this is kind of a downgrade), then I‘m not sure what to do with this “new manga” except for seeing it as promotion tool, extra income source, or just a thing for manga-enthusiasts to collect.

Thank you for translating this!! I knew the movie from this manga, and I just realized that my favorite VA, Hayami Saori, have a main role. I've just watched the movie yesterday and I love it. I hope this movie to receive a lot of awards and to get a chance to rewatch in theaters in my country.

I'm here after watching the movie and I've got to say - it was peak kino. Chapter 1 is flying over intro feats tho, hard to tell how I feel about that.
