Comicalized

What does it mean for a manga to be comicalized? Isn’t a manga already a comic in Japanese?

    it can mean the adaptation of a light novel or even anime into a comic book form aka japanese comic aka manga
    i believe not all anime are already based on a manga, and its the same as korean novels being turned into manhwas
    if im not mistaken, violet evergarden for exemple did not originate from a manga, code geass as well
    so if those would have a manga adaptation made now it would probably be called comicalized ^^

    Thanks for the reply, but I was actually talking about a manga that’s being comicalized? Sorry about the confusion but I’m confused too.

    I saw a (Japanese) tweet from a mangaka (I translated the tweet to English) that I love and it says something about an already completed manga volume having a comic volume released. And I got really confused. I don’t know if she’s releasing a new story but it doesn’t say 2nd volume. Just ‘comic volume)

    oh sorry for getting it wrong ╥﹏╥ if its about an already existing manga being comicalized then i am as confused as you... did you use a translating platform for the tweet? maybe there is something subtle in the original sentence that the translator couldnt quite translate... sorry i cant really help you :(

    Are you talking about when they do a promotional comic for a novel. And then they make it into an full comic. Idk if I’m wording it wrong or sumthing.

    ohh i may be totally wrong but maybe it has to do with colours? maybe a colored version of the manga will be released and thats why they call it a comic? youre making me so curious i wanna know what it means too now haha

    Perhaps the manga was originally in a magazine is releasing a tankoubon (book volume form of manga, rather than magazine form) and that couldn't translate properly?

    I think this is the most probable answer as the manga is published with Dear+. Thank you for your reply!
