A review by marianneereads
Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice by Po Tse, Stacy King

Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite classic. When I saw that it was converted into a manga, I just HAD to read it.

This is no doubt a great adaptation. It captures the original Jane Austen book and gives it a fun, light-hearted feel. 

I absolutely loved the illustrations in this one! Each one could express a long range of emotions, and also be hilarious at the same time.

I like that in this manga we could actually see Darcy’s feelings for Elizabeth from early on, so we wouldn’t be surprised as to when he actually did confess his feelings.

However this is called an adaptation for a reason; there were some deviations from the original book, to continue the story better, but if you’re looking to read this to substitute the original, then it isn’t viable. 

All in all, this is a short read. Very cute and easy to follow. The illustrations and storyline are well done and do a great job at capturing the original ‘Pride and Prejudice’ story.
