Abstract
This article focuses on the modifications of narrative content of Japanese comics when they are adapted into films. After an overview of the main filmic adaptation theories, a comparative analysis of the comics and their filmic versions is presented in order to determine how the narrative content is translated from one medium into the other. The corpus includes works targeted at male teenagers (where episodic plots are very common) and at female teenagers (with more serial plots). The methodology of analysis has a comparative approach and it pays special attention to the processes of translation, addition, elimination or modification of narrative content.
