Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

The original is iconic. It's a manga. At least in some form, after many years, I finally got familiar with it. The drawing here is standard, about the plot... I did not expect that there would be a work about such things. Kino travels the world, visits different countries. She stays in each country for three days. During this time, she gets acquainted with the local order and political system. Each country has a distinct feature, on the basis of which there is a subsequent conflict. It's a satire. If you think about what exactly is considered the norm in the country visited by Kino, then... Youwill not remain unconcerned. An ordinary, sometimes cute tin, inherent in the Japanese. Here it is not turned out to the maximum, it is presented only at the level of the concepts of the specific features of the countries.

I liked the piece. And here, most likely, because of the first impression. Because I knew it was iconic, but I didn't know what it was about. I haven't watched the anime adaptation, and I haven't read the ranobe. Therefore, I was surprised and waited with interest to see where the plot would turn next. It seems to me that those who are already familiar with this work are less likely to like the manga. Since the drawing does not stand out much, the pace is fleeting, and there are no pages that further escalate and add drama. You admire the core of each story, but not as a realization. Therefore, I will recommend some other media about Kino.
