Synopsis

Destination is a state of mind. A tale of one girl and her bike and the road ahead. Kino wanders around the world on the back of Hermes, her unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle, only staying in each country for three days. During their adventures, they find happiness, sadness, pain, decadence, violence, beauty, and wisdom. But through it all, they never lose their sense of freedom. They discover that because of the world's imperfections, it is actually a thing of beauty. "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is."

Preliminary (Unknown/? eps)

This book is a lot like the anime. It follows it extremely closely. I did not give it an art rating because it is a novel...

It follows the storys in a different order then the anime. But if you've seen the anime you will notice immediately that you've seen these stories.

It might be better to read this first that way later you can see it come to life on the screen.

This was a great read from start to finish. The story of Kino and her Journey with Hermes through the odd, dangerous, frightening, yet beautiful world.

The anime definitely is similar to the ...

"The world is not beautiful. Therefore it is."

From the start this story is bring us to many perspective of world , where there is many type of of people with a lot of different reason surrounding it, while our MC, Kino traveling between it.

this novel bring out the characters and arts very carefully, so the meaning of the story could be conveyed to ...
