Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear manga/mild novel collection in comparison with the anime
The anime relies on the Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear mild novel e book collection by creator Kumanano and illustrator 029. The story started as a free internet novel on the Let’s Change into a Novelist web site, however then Shufu to Seikatsu Sha acquired the rights and started adapting it into mild novels beginning in Could 2015.
As of October 7, 2022, the sunshine novels had been as much as Quantity 19 already. Traditionally, a brand new e book releases each winter/spring, summer season, and fall.
Nevertheless, that schedule is just not set in stone. For instance, the Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Quantity 17 launch date was initially scheduled for February 5, 2021, however was delayed till March 26, 2021, after which delayed a second time till April 16, 2021.
By late April 2021, the collection reputation had reached the purpose that the sunshine novels and manga had 2 million copies in circulation. By September 2022, the collection had 2.6 million copies in circulation.
A Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear manga adaptation by artist Sergei started in March 2018. As of June 7, 2022, it was as much as Quantity 8.
Seven Seas Leisure has been publishing the official English translation in North America. The English manga was as much as Quantity 7 by July 11, 2023.
The English mild novels will likely be as much as the digital Quantity 13 by February 28, 2023.
When mild novels are tailored into anime, it’s widespread for content material to be condensed and rearranged. Among the reorderings made sense as a result of associated character occasions unfold over a number of chapters had been pulled collectively.
One instance is how Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 6 mixed manga Chapter 22 (the wedding proposal) and numerous mild novel facet tales (bear bathtub, hairdryer, and pudding chapters) with anime unique content material (the snow crystal flower).
Whereas the episode was cute, it modified the motivation for why Gentz proposed.
In manga Chapter 22, after therapeutic Fina’s mom, Telmina, of her sickness, Yuna performed matchmaker by telling Telmina and Gentz to stay collectively so Fina and her youthful sister Shuri might have an actual household.
Whereas each are shocked at Yuna’s boldness, Gentz decides to ask Telmina to marry him on the spot, and it’s not lengthy earlier than the women are calling Gentz “Dad.”
Whereas Episode 6 arguably improved on the supply materials, what’s baffling is that Episode 1 actually dropped audiences into the center of the story with the black viper quest, which began in manga Quantity 3 Chapter 24.
Worse, this flash-forward brought on the anime to contradict itself as a result of the ending of the primary episode implied that she was taking part in a VR-MMO RPG because the last scene confirmed her utilizing a headset in mattress.
That’s problematic since Episode 2 backs up the story and explains that she’d really already been despatched to an alternate world by God, so the primary episode wasn’t actually a recreation world.
This choice additionally brought on a case of tonal dissonance because the first episode’s temper was extra severe, whereas Episode 2 and past had been way more light-hearted. It’s additionally as if the studio needed to attract in audiences by fooling them into considering the anime was extra action-oriented than it truly is.
This choice can also’t be blamed on the variations between the net novel, manga, and light-weight novels. All of these variations begin with Yuna being isekai’d after which rescuing Fina from the wolves.
As soon as the story began rolling out linearly, the anime improved, particularly since Yuna’s inner monologues had been transformed into snarky feedback that she says out loud.
Concurrently, the anime’s introduction of Yuna oddly failed to elucidate the origin of The Bloody Bear mythos.
In manga Chapter 16, Yuna returns to the guild to speak with the guild grasp, and he or she retains listening to individuals name her the Bloody Bear. Ultimately, Gentz explains the rumors which can be flying round.
It appears that evidently Yuna picked up the popularity for choosing a battle after which leaving individuals bloody and knocked out. They declare she seems on the guild dragging alongside the monsters’ bloody corpses whereas carrying a bear costume, therefore the nickname The Bloody Bear.
Moreover, numerous points of her character weren’t portrayed, together with how she actually didn’t like her mother and father in the true world (ineffective slackers) and the way she was investigating this new world’s magical mechanics to determine methods to take off the bear swimsuit completely.
The anime additionally failed to say how she shortly rose in guild rank.
There have been quite a lot of particulars that had been minimize, however most of them weren’t necessary. For instance, the battle in opposition to the goblin Deborane and his guild lackeys was minimize quick, and the intervention by the guild grasp was minimize fully, however the anime made up for it by focusing the scene on comedy.
The Nushi the boar quest (manga Chapter 14-15) was condensed right down to displaying black bear Kumayaru womping the boar. The small facet tales involving Elena, the innkeeper’s daughter, had been additionally skipped because the minor character doesn’t exist within the anime.
Nevertheless, since Elena wasn’t a reoccurring character within the manga/mild novels, her absence isn’t an enormous deal.
Episode 5 coated the orphanage story arc, however it skimmed over particulars that confirmed simply how frantic Lord Cliff Foschurosebecame when he realized Yuna had come to resent him.
The characterization was additionally completely different because the anime had Yuna being embarrassed for not trusting Cliff.
Within the books, she raked him over the coals and demanded that he create a belief inner surveillance unit to make sure that such atrocities by no means occurred once more.
The noble Enz who embezzled the funds had an influential brother within the capital. Nevertheless, Cliff nonetheless executed the whole noble household for his or her misdeeds and deliberate on telling the brother they died from a house invasion.
Whereas that sounds excessive, Enz’s crimes had been worse than the anime talked about, and each his son and spouse had been in on it.
Enz would entice younger ladies to turn into servants after which sexually abuse them. When households got here in search of their lacking daughters, they had been imprisoned within the basement jail, together with different dissidents.
Cliff’s troops discovered piles of corpses of youngsters piled up of their basement from all of the murders.
For sure, that’s a bit darkish for a light-hearted anime collection that’s centered on slice-of-life antics mixed with occasional fantasy motion.
Not surprisingly, the pacing of the anime’s episodes was pretty fast in comparison with each the manga and the sunshine novel collection. Episode 5 tailored up by way of manga Quantity 4 Chapter 34-36, which was about three-quarters of sunshine novel Quantity 2.
Episode 6’s ending completed the e book by having the royal capital journey be introduced after the pudding scene, which occurred in manga Chapter 37.
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 7 tailored virtually half of Quantity 3 by skipping the journey to the royal capital and a brush with bandits, which concerned a Bear Golem sinking down into the bottom with a Terminator-style thumbs up. Episodes 8 and 9 equally skimmed previous the guild grasp and different particulars to complete the e book.
Primarily based on the pacing of the anime thus far, the finale, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 12, discovered a stopping level close to the ending of sunshine novel Quantity 4.
The excellent news is that there’s loads of supply materials for making Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Season 2. Higher but, English solely followers who want to learn forward of the anime can soar straight to Quantity 5 as soon as it releases in March 2021.
The one unhealthy information is reserved for manga readers. The manga is at the moment adapting the center of sunshine novel Quantity 3, the royal capital story arc, which implies the manga in all probability received’t meet up with the anime till 2022.
