There will be more Classic Manga's written about here. I absolutely enjoyed my time with this and can't wait to dive into another!

Well, after the previous manga which proved to be a surprise, I’m back again with another manga classics.
Jane Eyre here I believed was adapted decently, Jane is portrayed as plain and I agree to her portrayal. It is very very plain. And difficult to see that she is in any way beautiful. Pleasant yes, beauty, no.
Although I did wish that things didn’t just happen so fast. And then, they were in love and married. I enjoyed the last part more since a lot more time was devoted to it, I do not particularly mind if they are split into volumes. Or at least touched on upon more.
And that when Jane found out that Mr Rochester was still married was when it really touched my heart(this is a classic, so I highly doubt I’m spoiling anything.) And the moments where she leaves, deciding to find another life.
That to me, did say that when it becomes impossible Jane simply moves on. I enjoyed the moments afterwards, such as when she met her cousin and the clergyman. As well as the moment when she realised that she was a heiress and actually became rich.
The face was perfect to show her expression. I did wish that they used more of the ways that many manga use to show emotions.
But overall, pretty good and I thoroughly enjoyed the latter part and the front. I truly cared for Jane for most part and the ending left a smile on my face.

A lovely adaptation into the manga format. I missed Jane, and this was a nice way to see her again without committing to a total reread.
I really enjoyed manga adaption of Jane Eyre. I have red this story so long ago, I forgot why I have stopped reading at around 80% mark.

It seemed to me that Jane was hellbent on rejecting Mr. Rochester because he was too perfect for her. Once he lost his eyes and his hand, she has given him her approval. That didn't set well with me but so are the ways of Classics...The language is bit odd and I'd not suggest to any beginners to read this. But may be I felt this problem as English is my 2nd language or I've problem reading old English. Whatever might be the reason, it was creepy and interesting till then end (at-least manga was) to help me complete this story for once.
I received a copy of Manga Classics: Jane Eyre from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I finally read Jane Eyre for the first time this year, so it only seemed natural for me to move forward and read the Manga adaptation as well, while it was fresh in my mind. Needless to say, I loved it! Stacy King and Crystal S. Chan are incredibly talented when it comes to adapting and condensing a classic into a manga version of itself. While I can see the changes they made (it is a requirement when it comes to this sort of adaptation), I don’t feel like there was any loss to the heart or intent of the story, and I found myself enjoying it very much.
In many ways Jane Eyre really lends well to an adaptation of this form. It is a beautiful yet sad (at times) story about a young girl who’s had a rough start in life, yet despite that she never loses her hope or determination. Adding visuals to a story like this really does enhance the experience, and increase the reader’s concern for the characters introduced. The beautiful and intricate artwork did a wonderful job of setting the scene, as well as making the characters come to life.
I truly love the concept of Manga Classics. Not only do they present us with striking final products, but they make them more approachable to a broader audience. I feel like if I had been offered to read a manga version of Jane Eyre when I was younger I would have been more likely to actually have read it at the time; and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way. I can’t wait to see what Manga Classics will be adapting next!
