Manga Classics: Jane Eyre by Crystal S. Chan, Charlotte Brontë
4.0
When I read Jan Eyre I gave it 4 stars. I’d give this manga version the same or maybe .1/2 a star more.
I love classics if I am in the right mood. The language is different. Books that today would be a few hundred pages were generally much longer. It’s just a different experience and if the mood isn’t right they can be daunting.
The Classics Manga series helps make the stories a bit easier to read. It’s a more compact format yet none of the important aspects of the story are lost. Jane still has a rough upbringing, still goes away to a school that leads her to a career as a governess. Still finds herself confused about her feelings for her new boss. Still struggles with who she is and where she belongs.
The art work is perfect for the story.
Overall a great way to introduce younger readers to the classics without overwhelming them or just getting in a reading of a classic yourself when you’re not quite in the mood for the wordier and lengthier originals.
