Abstract

This article focuses on the adaptation of Jenny Han's bestselling young adult novel *To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before* into a graphic novel, released on May 5. The adaptation was written by Barbara Perez Marquez and illustrated by Akimaro and Li Lu, aiming to preserve the emotional depth of the original story while utilizing the visual strengths of the graphic novel format. The article highlights the collaborative process between Han, Marquez, and the illustrators, including decisions about which scenes to omit and how to visually represent the protagonist Lara Jean’s personality and inner voice. It also notes upcoming graphic novel adaptations of Han’s *The Summer I Turned Pretty* series, scheduled for publication in 2027 by Simon & Schuster. [Extracted from the article]
