The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a classic story that I read when I was young but this manga twist gave me a pleasure that I didn't remember having the first time (probably because I felt like it was an obligation to read it.
The drawing style is beautiful, the author uses the original things the characters say what's still maintaining the story in its original state.
I would really recommend it for teenagers who want visual stimulation with the text.

For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
I really appreciate the intent and the effort that goes into adapting classics like Shakespeare's works. The amount of research and the art engineering that are put into something like this is admirable. However, my only comment is that maybe they create an even more accessible version where the text uses modern English (a la SparkNotes), especially if the goal is to make classics like this accessible to non-English natives and/or those who aren't familiar with old English that much.
I fairly enjoyed this one because I already read it before and had a full context before jumping in.
