Animation studio behind Netflix's Arcane reveals the one manga series it'd love to adapt

Jinx in Arcane.

Fortiche Studio, the animation group behind Netflix's Arcane, has revealed which manga series it'd love to take a stab at adapting.

In a new interview with anime streamer Crunchyroll, co-founder Pascal Charrue pinpointed Naoki Urasawa's works or, more specifically, Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond, which centers on Japanese swordsman Musashi Miyamoto, when asked which manga they'd love to develop for the small screen. "It's a masterpiece with incredible depth and stunning artwork that would be fascinating to bring to life," he said of the series, which is based on a novel by Eiji Yoshikawa.

"When considering manga to adapt, it's essential to find those that genuinely benefit from being animated," Charrue went on. "Often, I find myself disappointed with some adaptations due to the simple fact that the pacing of a manga, which you control as a reader, doesn't always translate well to animation."
