Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice
by Po Tse, Stacy King
4.5 Stars
A fun way to re-experience a classic story.
From what I can recall of the original story, this seemed to hit all of the plot details fairly closely. Dialogue has, of course, been adapted in places to make it discernible to young/modern readers.
I enjoyed the art style immensely. Certain scenes are drawn with a heightened sense of drama or romance, which I thought worked well. The characters were all fair portrayals.
While this may not be quite as valuable as reading the story in the author's original words, it has the advantage of being very quick and very easy. It may there for be a good option for both adult and kid readers trying to experience Austen stories for the first time, or re-experience them in a less taxing format. I'll be trying more of these adaptations in the future.
