This is the first manga I've ever read--I know, I'm very late to the party! It's a story I love in Austen's original form, and I think they've done justice to covering the story points. The characters have an idealized beauty that differs a bit from how I saw them in my head. But still, a fast and pretty story to read!
Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this version more than the original book. It may be because of the art that it's beautiful.

I have been meaning to catch up on my classics for the longest time ever, and I recently downloaded Sense and Sensibility on my Kindle to read at some point this year. Finding I could request and read the manga version of this by the talented Stacy King and Manga Classics, (see my review for upcoming Manga Classics: The Jungle Book here on Good Reads), I just had to request it and give it a read. The cover was stunning and I really wanted to see more of the beautiful artwork done in this series.
I was so taken aback by how beautiful this was. The character designs were so beautiful I found my heart leapt with each page turn. I couldn’t get enough of the sisters designs, or any of the characters. Po Tse has created such stunning character designs and has brought this book to life with such talent it amazes me. To my knowledge, Stacy King has adapted this brilliantly from the novel and it’s definitely made me more excited to read the original by Jane Austen.
This story moved me to tears so may times. I related to Marianne too much for my own liking and it truly hurt my soul to see her so hurt. It’s good to know men have always been utter c-cks, even back then. As I turned each page, all I wanted was for each girl to feel good and happy and honestly, I couldn’t get enough of it. I read it in one sitting, from cover to cover, and I read it hungrily. I absolutely devoured this and I would definitely recommend this if you want to read Sense and Sensibility, but don’t have the time or want to know what it’s about before you dive in.

I absolutely adored this adaptation of Jane Austin's "Sense and Sensibility". The storyline is faithful to the original and yet makes brilliant use of the Manga art form to convey the story. The characters were delightfully drawn and animated. Both Marianne and Elinor were faithful to the time period and yet somehow also to standard manga drawing. I loved the way that their characters were clear from the images themselves. This would be a wonderful way to introduce a child to classic literature.

A nice offering to give the condensed version of the classic novel without having to go through 400+ pages. The story itself was not among the most interesting of the series.
