Overview [1][]

Kino's Journey: the Beautiful World (キノの旅 -the Beautiful World-?) began as a series of light novels written by Keiichi Sigsawa, with illustrations by Kouhaku Kuroboshi. The series originally started serialization in MediaWorks' now-defunct light novel magazine Dengeki hp with the release of volume six on March 17, 2000.[2] The first volume of the series was published on July 10, 2000 by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko publishing imprint. As of October 10, 2014, 18 volumes have been published. The eighth volume of Kino's Journey, originally published in October 2004, was Dengeki Bunko's 1000th published novel.[3] An additional volume entitled Kino's Journey -the Beautiful World- Country of Theater -Kino- (キノの旅 -the Beautiful World- 劇場の国 -KINO- Kino no Tabi -the Beautiful World- Gekijō no Kuni -KINO-) was only released as a promotional gift for the second animated movie. [4] A collection of special chapters entitled Kino's Journey: the Sigsawa's World came with the first volume of ASCII Media Works' light novel magazine Dengeki Bunko Magazine on April 10, 2008.

In commemoration of Dengeki Bunko's 20th anniversary, Kino's Journey was serialized weekly from April to September 2013 in several Japanese regional newspapers.[5] The ten stories serialized during this period were included in the 17th volume published in October of the same year. The previous 16 volumes were released with new cover artwork also in commemoration of the anniversary.[5]

The light novel series has also been translated into Chinese, Korean, and German. It was also once published in  English, but was dropped after the first volume release.
