Manga Classics the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
5.0
4.5 rounded up
This is a manga adaptation of the classic 'The Scarlet Letter' - Hester is a woman caught committing adultery with an unknown man, producing her young daughter, Pearl. In punishment for this offence in a puritan society, she is forced to wear a scarlet letter A on her chest, embroidered into her clothing.
I had never read the Scarlet letter before, though I had a decent idea of the plot through popular culture. I loved the art style though I have to say I didn't really think Hester's facial expression changed often. I really enjoyed the story, and it has made me want to read the full story as some arcs were apparently removed for this adaptation. The story made complete sense on its own and I felt connected to the story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from UDON Entertainment via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, which I leave voluntarily
