Excellent illustrations and condensed retelling of Jane Eyre. I would certainly consider reading another Manga Classic.
I received the ebook in exchange for an honest review on netgalley.
I just love the way classics are taken up into a manga way. It makes a beautiful way to revisit these classics and a quick reminder of their contents. Lovely!

M'ha encantat i emocionat més del que em pensava que ho faira. Una història preciosa i amb una il·lustració perfecta.
Jane Eyre is and orphan living with her close relatives. Unfortunetaly she was treated there very badly by them. She wanted to get out of there as fast as she could and her aunt also wanted her to go. When the time came, she was sent to Lowood Institution. As much as she was happy about going to school, she wasn't prepared how the orphan girls are treated there. However, thanks to this school she grew up educated and with perspective for future.
At first she was a teacher at the same school but later on she found a job at Edward Rochester's mansion. Her master has a secret past he wasn't eager to share with anyone. Despite the differences between them, they started to have feelings for each other.
I've never read Jane Eyre before as I heard a lot of different opinions about the book. Now after reading this Manga Classic I want to buy it and start reading it right away. The story is so intriguing and beautiful that I can't stop thinking about how wrong I was by not reading it earlier. This story feels like a perfect choice for the classic books fans. I'm definitely going to read an original story very soon.

I’ve been thinking for years that classics just weren’t for me. The writing it’s always a little too much for my brain to actually enjoy it, but with this Manga Editions I’m actually learning to like them, the style, the tone, the gorgeous art and the way that translates into graphics.
I’m in love.
I wasn’t familiar with the story, since I’ve been fearing classics for awhile, but I liked it well enough, Jane was a character that sometimes frustrated me, but I could put that aside most of the time and just enjoy the story.
Thank you, Netgalley.

I borrowed this book from school and had to give it back for the summer. I did watch the film and I know the storyline. A sweet book
I received an e-ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have read the book and watched almost every adaptation of it! The manga was well-drawn and despite having Jane drawn like a child, I enjoyed every page of this manga!

I have never read Jane Eyre but I’ve seen a few movie adaptations of it so I knew the story fairly well. I thought it was well told and beautifully illustrated. I wouldn’t say this is my favourite Manga Classic because I didn’t feel that it really captured the sort of chill and danger of the story as I feel it should be presented, everything was sort of light and beautiful instead which doesn’t really suit a story with a murderous woman locked away in the attic!
I really enjoy the story of Jane Eyre I think it was well captured in this. I think the romance was represented well enough though I didn’t feel as passionately about it as I have in other versions or even in other Manga Classics romances. I think the pacing was alright, but not completely on point, that’s more an issue of the source text as it’s a rather long book, that seems to move sort of slowly.
The main issue I had with this was the atmosphere created in the book. It didn’t have the chill and melancholy that I would expect from the book. There is a murderous woman in the attic and I never once really felt any fear about her existence, which I should feel all the time. Maybe the problem is I am so in love with the Cary Fukunaga Jane Eyre movie and I just want that atmosphere to creep into every bit of this book and haunt me the way that movie did.
I will say that like always the art is on point. Jane was adorable, Rochester was handsome, Mrs. Rochester was haunting and scary in the few glimpses you get of her. I cannot fault this book on its art because it was astounding as per usual.
I recommend this book, it’s not my favourite in the series (that’s probably still Emma) but its good, and its definitely worth a read if you’re into manga and classics!
