**I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and this is my honest review**
I haven't actually read the entirety of the original Anne of Green Gables. But this manga adaptation felt extremely authentic and true to the parts of the story I do know. The adaptor and illustrator have taken great care to stay true to the details of the story (even going so far as to make sure Green Gables house layout and style is accurate) while making it more accessible for readers. This was a pleasant, relaxing read and I would recommend this for all ages.

This adaption was fantastic in the choices that the author highlighted in this edition from the original text. The illustrations were clear and easy to follow even with it being black and white. (Other adaptions have come out in colour) the only picky thing is we don't see Anne's freckles but that is only a small thing. I love how much of the conversational text made it into this adaption and the focus of family is strong and true to the time period of the original text.
The secret gem is at the back of the book with the adaption author showing and explaining how the adaption to graphic novel went and how she went about abridging the story line. This will be useful information for those wish to adaption graphic novels and was like your own personal author visit.
