Okay, I'll admit, I love Jane Eyre; it's possibly one of my favourite books of all time, so when I find an adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic, I know I need to read it. And Manga Classics: Jane Eyre was on my list. As an adaptation, it's a decent one; featuring scenes everyone knows as well as scenes some adaptations tend to forget or brush past (the fortune-teller). This makes it feel fuller and more detailed, standing out as an adaptation that celebrates the original novel and makes it accessible to those who may find Bronte's novel hard to read. The manga flows well and does not deviate far from the original material.

Overall, Manga Classics: Jane Eyre was a brilliant read with beautiful illustrations that encapsulate the gothic feel of the original novel making it perfect for any graphic novel fan. Those who love Charlotte Bronte's original masterpiece will love how Manga Classic stays faithful to her words and will like how the novel has been brought to life.

Thank you, NetGalley and UDON Entertainment for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
