      Has any English webnovel/light novel gotten adapted to manga/light novel/anime format?

        @jaden-douglas-5mknjy9 not that I know off, some regular novels have had manga adaptations, like some Lovecraft stuff and old classics.

        The closest I can think of is that one French "manga" that managed to get exported to Japan and get an anime adaptation, Radiant. I'm sure the author of that one is the proudest otaku ever.

          There are also English children's/YA novels such as Howl's Moving Castle, The Borrowers, The Little Broomstick, Tales from Earthsea, etc that had anime movie adaptations.

              @poisonedbite Both of those are original, they aren't based on novels or comics at all (not to mention they're western animations but not getting into that argument).

                I remember a novel series called Cirque du Freak that got a manga adaption. It's not a web or light novel but I always found it cool that it got a manga adaption.

                  Rwby has a manga, regardless of it being a youtube show originally. And it has an official japanese dub.
