A review by kanra
Disney Manga: Beauty and the Beast — Belle's Tale by Mallory Reaves, Gabriella Sinopoli Sinopoli, Studio Dice

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

First I would like to thank the publishers and Netgalley for providing a copy of this book for me to read in return for my honest review.

I'll be completely honest, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie which also makes Belle my favorite princess. I loved reading this manga in a full color rendition and the color choices they made followed closely to the original film which was a nice detail. The manga itself follows the story told by the movie very well, it is fast tracked to get everything important in and doesn’t seem to miss any of the really important parts. I would love to read the partner to this, Beast's Tale just to see how the story differs from his view. I gave this manga 4.5 stars because while I enjoyed it, I feel it could have benefitted having more volumes to flesh out the story better rather that rush through it. If you in any capacity enjoyed the original Beauty and the Beast movie you will enjoy this manga, please check out the full color edition over the regular edition as it really elevates this manga.
