“In contrast to a manga, video has sounds, backgrounds, and spacing. Due to where you place the camera, you can also show a character’s mental state. In order to represent all you want to convey in a single panel for manga, it’s inevitable that writers tend to use a lot of monologues. But because there was another type of language in this story, sign language, the manga wasn’t overly burdened with monologues; actually there were quite few of them.”
