Thanks. I'm glad you can imagine the scenes and want to see them. (What about a TV series? With good CGI?)

Of course, conversion wouldn't be that simple, even if I could draw. The amount that happens inside Akiko's head is easier to do in prose than in graphic form (and easier in graphic form than on TV), and I suspect that the breaks would fall in different places. There are description-heavy pieces that would be one panel in graphic format, while others, with more action, would take several pages. Akiko's nude scenes would be more prominent with pictures, and thus would need to be cut back. Lots of changes would need to be made to make the original idea work.

One thing that might be a big issue, though, is point of view. You get the story through Akiko's eyes in this version ("tight third" is the technical term, I think), so things that she doesn't notice don't get mentioned. If it's all drawn, however, you have the chance to notice for yourself, which might seriously change the dynamic in some places. The only way to really handle this, though, is to try the conversion and see.

On the plus side, there are some things that would work better. There are some scenes where I'm really trying to get you to see them in your mind, and I think they'd be better drawn or filmed. In addition, images would let you see what the various Shinto things look like.

If the story suddenly became really popular, I wouldn't be averse to adapting it, but it would be a significant adaptation, so, unfortunately, I can't see it happening. But it's fun to think about, and to cast the TV series.
