Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice
by Po Tse, Stacy King
(I received this book from Net galley in exchange for my honest review)
I’m a huge fan of Jane Austen’s books and Pride and Prejudice was definitely my favourite novel of hers when I was at school. And I’ve recently rediscovered the joy of manga so when I saw this classic and manga combined I just couldn’t wait to read it. There is such a diverse range of characters in Pride and Prejudice and so it was lovely to see how they were brought to life through these beautiful illustrations. They were just stunning and I especially loved Mr. Collins as he appeared as comical as his disposition, which was hysterical. As Austen’s novel is such a witty one it was like it was meant for it’s larger than life characters to be exaggerated in the Manga form, especially when Mrs. Bennett is having one of her tantrums.
