Kino's Journey: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

''Kino no Tabi'', given the English name ''Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World'', is a [[Light Novel]] series by Keiichi Sigsawa which was adapted into a fourteen-episode anime series and an OVA. It follows the travels of a teenager named Kino and a talking motorcycle named Hermes as they travel from country to country. Each land they visit contains unique and eccentric peoples and customs, sometimes helpful and sometimes dangerous.
