Summary

"Kino’s Journey" is a novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa and published by Dengeki Bunko. The story follows the unique travels of a young adventurer named Kino as well as Kino's traveling companion, a talking motorcycle named Hermes. Together, they visit many different places throughout their adventures and meet many different people. They spend three days at each location they visit before heading out to their next destination. Everyone they encounter during their journey is somewhat compassionate and very admirable.

Note: This is a novel series not a manga/graphic novel series, in Japanese. So there are few illustrations, if you are mainly interested in just the illustration work I suggest purchasing the artbooks instead (see Collectibles)
