This was everything I could have wanted in a manga adaptation of Jane Eyre.
This story is particularly dear to me, as my mother read it to me as a kid and it was the first novel I read on my own. I haven't read it since childhood so I looked forward to reaquainting myself with the story in manga form.
I felt the story was very well told in this adaptation, the art was very nice and not too cartoonish (a problem I had with the Anne of Green Gables adaptation). The narrative flowed nicely and the characters seemed well captured. I absolutely loved Jane's character, I loved how strong she stood in her self- knowledge and convictions, and wouldn't let herself be swayed by the forceful men in her life who supposed to know what she wanted better than she. Mr Rochester is an odd fellow but I did rather like that life humbled him a little and that Jane didn't fall at his feet when he was rich and smug.
Great job all round by the adaptation author and artist.
