Even though I haven't watched the movie yet, I enjoyed this and it made me really excited to watch the live-action! The design is really pretty (though the beast looks really scary sometimes) and the story is familiar to me, so I loved it. I already knew about some differences between the original Disney movie and the new one; I was still spoiled for other stuff, obviously, but it's fine.
I just thought the scenes were really rushed, and there was barely a connection between them sometimes.

Fun and simple retelling of Beauty and the Beast in manga style. It was fun to read, but very simplistic.
I liked the style and the art work. Fun read, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Beasts tale was my favorite but this was good too
Didn't realize this was going to be based on the live action version. It was ok. Worth reading but not worth rereading. Here are some thoughts:
- Everyone including Belle's dad, the furniture, everyone seemed to be super handsome/ pretty except for Belle herself. Belle was very plain. Like she seemed out of place because of her plainness. Does not do either movie version justice.
- Seemed to drag out at certain points, then at others go way too fast. Pacing was a nightmare. Some characters had parts that were too long and others have one random line. Freaking Le Fou is one of the main characters and he gets less lines than the regular village people.
-Liked the art style but The Beast and Belle seemed weird. The Beast seemed too pretty and not Beastly and Belle seemed way too plain.
Way too long of a review for such a short book but I do love this world. Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie and while this was enjoyable it could have been better.

This is a dual review for Mallory Reaves pair of Beauty and the Beast manga novels ([b:Disney Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Tale|34739234|Disney Beauty and the Beast Belle's Tale|Mallory Reaves|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490920574s/34739234.jpg|53443194] and [b:Disney Beauty and the Beast: The Beast's Tale|34749579|Disney Beauty and the Beast The Beast's Tale|Mallory Reaves|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1491073518s/34749579.jpg|53443195] respectively).
These are illustrated Tokyopop manga adaptations of the new Disney live action Beauty and the Beast movie. They are charmingly illustrated and do a nice job of translating the revised movie plot to the page. The books act as bookends to each other, each covering the same amount of time, but from opposite points of view (Belle's view in book 1, and Beast's view in book 2). There are some shared illustrations/panels from book to book, but each book still offers its own unique perspective and are more fulfilling when read in the paired sequencing.
I'm a huge Beauty and the Beast fan and also loved the movie. While these books did not offer any new insights or add any new plot twists (again, it's a straightforward adaptation), they did make me smile and are great for anyone who enjoyed the movie or who is just a fan of Beauty and the Beast or Disney manga.

The new live action movie, in a manga. Delightful.
Beauty and the best but manga format. One of my favorite movies!
