5.0
~This ARC has been gently provided in exchange for an honest review~
I absolutely loved this manga version of Jane Eyre. This is my favourite Charlotte Brontë's novel and it's amazing what Crystal S. Chan and SunNeko Lee have done with the story adaptation and the art.
Jane Eyre went to live with her uncle and family after her parent's death. Her uncle was very kind and treated her as one of his own children, but everything changes after his death. Her aunt disliked her very much and her cousins bullied her constantly.
One day, Jane Eyre was sent to Lowood, a charity school for orphan girls. She didn't know this at first; she was quite happy to leave her aunt's house and she thought that at Lowood School she wouldn't be mistreated. Therefore, it was hard at the beginning, but as days went by, Jane learned to control her emotions and with the help and love of her friend Helen and Ms. Temple, her days at Lowood were better. She stayed for eight years; two of them as a teacher. When Ms. Temple married and, therefore, left the school, everything at Lowood seemed differet to Jane; she realised that the world was wide and varied, she had to move on too.
Jane's new beginning would start at Thornfield. She was hired as a governess for a little French girl called Adéle. The first three months were quiet, but Jane felt unsitisfied, she needed to do something else, "[humans] must have action, and they will make it if they cannot find it."
Mr. Rochester was what Jane's restless spirit was waiting for. Although, he seemed "changeful and abrupt" at first, soon Jane realised Mr. Rochester's deepest feelings. Nevertheless, a long path should be walked by Jane before the life she longed for could become true.
