Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice
by Po Tse, Stacy King
This was a great experience, it was my first manga classic and to be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was awesome and I had a lot of pleasure reading it.
The adaptation wasn’t a 100% copy of the novel, I’ll give you that but only minor changes were brought and the essential parts of the novel were kept intact (unlike the carnage of the movie)
I liked the fact that most of the characters were true to the novel’s ones and the art was really good, Mrs. Bennet still irritated me the same way,
Lydia was still the worst pain in the arse I’ve ever experienced,
Mr. Bingley was -as usual- so sweet and so innocent, his sister – God give her a brain- so stupid, Jane was, well, Jane and Darcy was perfectly “The” Mr. Darcy.
What I didn’t like was:
1st, Elizabeth’s character, as we know her, she’s the tough personality kind of girls, but here, she was far too emotional making me a bit ill at ease from time to time and making no sense as I couldn’t find a reason to her overwhelmed reactions.
2nd, Mr. Collins, he was ridiculous and acting in a very weird way, not the novel’s Mr. Collins weird way, but, a worse one. (never thought it was possible, but, strange enough, it seems it is)
Some pages were so glittering and filled with love and romance and feelings ( kinda creepy sometimes, lol) but, it was an enjoyable piece.
Highly recommended for Pride and Prejudice fans!
Thanks Netgalley for the copy!!
