jacattack13 's review for:
Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice
by Po Tse, Stacy King
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
What a great adaptation to such a wonderful book. Sadly I haven't had the chance to actually read the original story by Jane Austen but I've seen so many movie/TV versions that I feel like I know it by heart.
For people who have never read Manga before it does a great job of showing you how to read it and follow along. In Japan where manga originates from they read right to left and so yes this is different it wasn't all that bad. I've read manga before so it wasn't a hassle but Udon Entertainment does a good job for newbies. My only issue was that I had to read it through Adobe Digital and i had to go backwards which was a pain but if you have the book in hand its so easy.
The illustrations are what manga is all about and this does not disappoint. Darcy is charming and oh so sexy. Elizabeth and Jane are drawn so well and are so beautiful. Large eyes is a thing with mangas and their eyes don't disappoint. LOL
The manga follows the story pretty well and of course it shortens it but the themes are still there and everything that basically happens. It's a great story and adaptation. I highly suggest reading this if you want a different take on Pride and Prejudice!
