I’ve never watched any version of pride and prejudice before but this really made me want to watch one (in a good way lol) not bad but it was sometimes annoying

I was a little leery of this, but it was actually quite delightful! The artwork was charming, and the writing was clever. I had actually been wanting to re-read Pride & Prejudice for some time now, but was always deterred by the length. This is a perfect substitute! It holds the quality of the story without the length of the original novel.
Definitely would recommended!

I unfortunately need to confess: I have never read Pride & Prejudice. Classics have tended to be tedious and boring to me in the past, so I never took the time on this one since it wasn't required reading for me. Plus, I must admit that the period language usually has me stumped about what exactly is being said! That being said, when I saw that there was a manga version of it, I couldn't resist.
I loved finding out all about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, whom I've heard of since high school. I admit, I loved their story. This version was done with contemporary language, which was great, and helped to understand the characters' personalities. I really enjoyed reading this - I flew through it in one sitting.
Thank you to Net Galley for this ARC.

I enjoyed this manga adaptation! Beautiful art and a wonderful script allowed the story to flow effortlessly. I'm looking forward to reading more Manga Classics.

This was a great experience, it was my first manga classic and to be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was awesome and I had a lot of pleasure reading it.
The adaptation wasn’t a 100% copy of the novel, I’ll give you that but only minor changes were brought and the essential parts of the novel were kept intact (unlike the carnage of the movie)
I liked the fact that most of the characters were true to the novel’s ones and the art was really good, Mrs. Bennet still irritated me the same way,
Lydia was still the worst pain in the arse I’ve ever experienced,
Mr. Bingley was -as usual- so sweet and so innocent, his sister – God give her a brain- so stupid, Jane was, well, Jane and Darcy was perfectly “The” Mr. Darcy.
What I didn’t like was:
1st, Elizabeth’s character, as we know her, she’s the tough personality kind of girls, but here, she was far too emotional making me a bit ill at ease from time to time and making no sense as I couldn’t find a reason to her overwhelmed reactions.
2nd, Mr. Collins, he was ridiculous and acting in a very weird way, not the novel’s Mr. Collins weird way, but, a worse one. (never thought it was possible, but, strange enough, it seems it is)
Some pages were so glittering and filled with love and romance and feelings ( kinda creepy sometimes, lol) but, it was an enjoyable piece.
Highly recommended for Pride and Prejudice fans!
