Synopsis [ ]

Destination is a state of mind. A tale of one girl and her bike and the road ahead. Kino wanders around the world on the back of Hermes, her unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle, only staying in each country for three days. During their adventures, they find happiness, sadness, pain, decadence, violence, beauty, and wisdom. But through it all, they never lose their sense of freedom. They discover that because of the world's imperfections, it is actually a thing of beauty. "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is."

In Kino's Journey , the protagonist, Kino, accompanied by a talking motorcycle, a Brough Superior motorcycle named Hermes, travels through a mystical world of many different countries and forests, each unique in its customs and people. Kino only spends three days and two nights in every town, without exception, on the principle that three days is enough time to learn almost everything important about a place, while leaving time to explore new lands. Kino says in The Land of Visible Pain that this principle is probably a lie, specifically noting "if I stay any longer, I'm afraid I will settle down." A phrase repeated in the anime and novels is "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." Kino's Journey explores what the anime director Ryūtarō Nakamura described as "a radical sense of 'beauty," [2] and brutality, loneliness, nonsense, oppression and tragedy are often juxtaposed against compassion and a fairy-tale atmosphere.

For protection and hunting, Kino carries a .44 single action revolver (called "the Cannon", based on a Colt M1851 ) that uses liquid explosives in place of gunpowder and a .22 automatic pistol (named "the Woodsman", based on a Colt Woodsman ). Later in Kino's adventures in the novels, Kino also uses a pump action shotgun (based on a Winchester M1897 ) and a semi-automatic sniper rifle (called "the Flute", based on an Arisaka Type 99 rifle ), along with a variety of other tools, including knives . In the anime, she is shown to carry no less than five knives on her person, including one which can fire .22 bullets from its hilt. Kino is an unusually quick draw and practices every day before dawn.

Technology in this world exists, sometimes to the level of science fiction , although anachronisms are common (for example, the same land that has talking robots also appears to have phonographs , yet simultaneously the world has only begun to develop heavier-than-air flight). The level of technology also varies from country to country. The world is not heavily magical (the only "magical" elements include land that moves, a talking motorcycle, and a talking dog), although it has a certain fairy-tale quality.

Themes and influences [ ]

The "beautiful world" Kino travels through almost always has its dark side. Often the countries Kino visits are places where the populace is oppressed, where a tragedy has occurred, or where the culture has become extremely strange because the rulers or people sought to do what they believed was right. The phrase "the world is not beautiful, therefore it is" ( 世界は美しくなんかない。そしてそれ故に美しい。 Sekai wa utsukushiku nanka nai. Soshite sore yueni utsukushii. ? ) symbolizes how the dark aspects of life, such as oppression and tyranny, make the good and happy parts of life all the more precious and wonderful. Though Kino may encounter such horrible people such as the king in "Coliseum", she also meets people who make the "beautiful world" what it is, such as the rebels in the Land of Books, the girl Nimya in The Land of Wizards, or the self sacrifice of the people in "A Kind Land -Tomorrow never comes-".

The use of violence and whether or not it can be justified is a recurring theme in Kino's Journey , from whether animals should be killed in order to sustain the life of others to whether an entire population should be destroyed in order to save two other civilizations. The problems inherent in communication are also a prevalent theme, for example the havoc wrought in societies by telepathy or diverging interpretations of prophecies.

In an interview with Keiichi Sigsawa done by Anime News Network , [3] he stated that despite the similarities that have been pointed out between The Little Prince and Kino's Journey , it was not one of his main influences. In fact he did not even read the book until after he wrote Kino's Journey , at which point he stated that he enjoyed it and was honored that his book was being compared with The Little Prince . His main influence was in fact a manga named Galaxy Express 999 . Galaxy Express 999 follows the journey of Tetsuro Hoshino and the space train Galaxy Express 999 as it stops on many different planets, each with very different conditions. The story is set in the far future, where people may buy indestructible machine bodies to make themselves immortal. However, immortality comes at a price of giving up your humanity. This is similar to Kino's Journey in the fact that all the planets are extremely different which gives the story an episodic feel. It also has a great deal of the philosophy that Kino's Journey is known for.

Tokyopop 's English release of the first light novel volume featured a radically redesigned cover.

Light novels [ ]

Kino's Journey began as a series of light novels written by Keiichi Sigsawa , and illustrated by Kouhaku Kuroboshi . The series originally started serialization in MediaWorks ' now-defunct light novel magazine Dengeki hp with the release of volume six on March 17, 2000. [4] The first volume of the series was published on July 10, 2000 by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko publishing imprint. As of October 10, 2010, 14 volumes have been published. The eighth volume of Kino's Journey , originally published in October 2004, was Dengeki Bunko' s 1000th published novel. [5] An additional volume entitled Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- Country of Theater -Kino- ( キノの旅 -the Beautiful World- 劇場の国 -KINO- Kino no Tabi -the Beautiful World- Gekijō no Kuni -KINO- ? ) was only released as a promotional gift for the second animated movie. [6] A collection of special chapters entitled Kino's Journey: the Sigsawa's World came with the first volume of ASCII Media Works ' light novel magazine Dengeki Bunko Magazine on April 10, 2008.

The light novel series has also been translated into Chinese, Korean, and German. Tokyopop licensed the novels under the original title Kino no Tabi for release in North America, and the first volume was published on October 3, 2006. The chapter order of Tokyopop's English release of the first volume differed from the original Japanese release. According to Tokyopop representatives, there are issues with the licensor that have left them unable to release further volumes of the series. Tokyopop used an image from the sixth chapter-title page from the original novel for use as the English novel cover.

The first volume of a spin-off of the regular series titled Gakuen Kino was published on July 10, 2006 under Dengeki Bunko; as of July 10, 2010, four volumes have been released. The series is a collection of parodies originally published in three spin-off magazines of Dengeki hp : Dengeki p , Dengeki h , and Dengeki hpa . The spin-off features Kino as a magical girl in a school setting. Gakuen Kino was translated into Chinese and Korean.

Art books [ ]

A 90-six-page art book containing illustrations by Kouhaku Kuroboshi was released by ASCII Media Works in March 2003. The book contained illustrations from Kino's Journey and the Allison series of light novels, which is created by the same people as with Kino's Journey . Also included in the art book are original illustrations never released in the novel volumes, and an original Kino's Journey short story by Keiichi Sigsawa. [7] Three picture books were also released by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko Visual Novel label. The first, released on December 3, 2003, contained forty-eight pages and is entitled Country of Memories -Their Memories- ( 記憶の国 -Their Memories- Kioku no Kuni -Their Memories- ? ) . The first picture book came bundled with an audio CD containing image songs (one of which is based on the tune of Pachelbel's Canon ). [7] The second book, released on March 30, 2005, contained eighty pages and is entitled The Traveler's Story -You- ( 旅人の話 -You- Tabibito no Hanashi -You- ? ) . The second book was released in two editions, with the difference between the two being a DVD of the first animated film Kino's Journey: In Order to Do Something –Life Goes On– . [7] The third book, released on December 25, 2007, contained 40 pages and is entitled My Country -Own Will- ( わたしの国 -Own Will- Watashi no Kuni -Own Will- ? ) . The third book came bundled with a DVD of the second animated film Kino's Journey: Country of Illness -For You- . [7]

An anime adaptation produced by A.C.G.T and Genco , and directed by Ryūtarō Nakamura , aired on the WOWOW satellite television network between April 8 and July 8, 2003, containing 13 episodes. [8] [9] The anime series was also broadcast across Japan by the anime satellite television network Animax , who also aired the series across its worldwide networks in Southeast Asia , East Asia , South Asia . The episodes were released on six DVD compilations released between June 18 and November 19, 2003; the first volume contained three episodes, while each of the subsequent volumes contained two episodes. The series was re-released on DVD in popular editions again in six volumes, with the first three volumes bundled together and sold on January 19, 2005, and the last three volumes bundled together and sold on February 16, 2005. [10] In addition to the main series, there is also a 12-minute long prologue entitled "Episode 0: The Tower Country -Freelance-" which was released as an original video animation with the first animated movie's DVD release on October 19, 2005. [11]

The 13-episode anime series was licensed for North American distribution by ADV Films . The episodes were initially released on four DVD compilations released between February 24, 2004 and June 29, 2004; the first volume contained four episodes, while each of the subsequent volumes contained three episodes. The first DVD volume was sold in two editions, with the difference between the two being a series box all four DVDs could fit inside. A DVD box set entitled Kino's Journey: The Complete Collection was released on October 25, 2005 containing three discs. In 2009, the series was re-released on three DVDs in a single case.

Visual novels [ ]

Kino's Journey has been adapted into two visual novel adventure games for the PlayStation 2 by Tycoon and ASCII Media Works . The first game, entitled Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- , was released on July 17, 2003, and a "best" version was later released on November 25, 2004. Most of the story for the first game is taken from volumes one, two, three, five, and six of the original light novels, but there is one scenario written specifically for the game by Keiichi Sigsawa . [12] The second game, entitled Kino's Journey II -the Beautiful World- , was released on December 1, 2005, and a "best" version was later released on March 8, 2007. Like the first game, most of the story is taken from the light novels, but there is another original scenario written by Sigsawa. [13] Additionally, the second game came bundled with a thirty-six page book entitled Various Stories -a Beautiful Dreamer- ( いろいろな話 -a Beautiful Dreamer- Iroirona Hanashi -a Beautiful Dreamer- ? ) containing the story of the original scenario written for the game.

Description

Kino's Journey - the Beautiful World manga volume 1 features story and art by Keiichi Sigsawa and Iruka Shiomiya.

“So, who’s the kid?”

“My name is…”

××××× hesitated for a moment, turning slightly to look back along the road they were traveling. Beyond the red horizon, her homeland’s gates sank into the distance, never to be seen again.

Facing forward once more, ××××× looked past Kino’s side to focus intently on the path ahead before answering.

“My name is—”

Kino travels with the trusty talking motorrad, Hermes. The duo are always together, with Hermes providing speed, and Kino providing balance. They stay in each country for no more than three days, as a rule—enough time to learn about each destination’s unique customs and people. And so Kino and Hermes journey ever onward…
