A review by qveerinthenight
Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice by Po Tse, Stacy King
4.0
I received an ARC through Netgalley via Udon Entertainment. This in no way affected my review.
Rating: 4/5 stars

After taking so long to read this, I finally binge read this in one sitting and was truly taken aback. I’ve been a fan of the Manga Classics series since I first read The Scarlet Letter, and have been happily, but slowly, reading through all their works that I have been able to. Pride and Prejudice is no exception.
The first thing, as always with Manga Classics, is the utterly beautiful artwork done by Po Tse. Every manga Tse has worked on that I have read, I have always been taken aback by the absolutely beautiful art work. The characters just come to life through their drawing and I always feel a little honoured to be able to see it.
Having never read the original Pride and Prejudice, I have no idea if this is in anyway related or even close to the original – however, I do suspect it is – but I loved it anyway. A more modern speech, well done artwork that helps us connect to the characters and the story, and the pages just flow. It’s so easy to turn this page after page, and just get totally lost in it.
However, the story itself just wasn’t for me personally. Although sweet, it was a little too sweet for my own personal tastes, hence the 4 star rating instead of 5. The manga is perfect, nothing wrong with it! Don’t get me wrong; I’m just not a fan of hardcore romance like this story.
I would definitely recommend this, however, and I will definitely be looking into getting a copy of this and other Manga Classics in the future!
