Manga Pride and Prejudice by Po Tse and Stacy King; original story by Jane Austen

★★★★ 4 Stars for this beautifully drawn retelling of the classic

I received a free copy of this manga via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Okay, I've never managed to finish reading Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. For the most part it was because the language was difficult for me since I'm not a native speaker. I wanted to know the story but at the same time I didn't want to read a translated version, neather did I particularly want to watch the movie. So when I saw this little gem on Netgalley, after years of not having finished the book I thought 'why not?'.

The drawings are pretty and the artist uses a classic older shoujo style that was maily used some decades ago which fits the story pretty well considering it's also an older classic.

Elizabeth, Darcy and Bingley

It's really nice if you want to get to know the story but the classic writing is too much for you or you just don't want to spend so much time on the book or you simply enjoy classic tales and Mangas.

There were small changes in the story as far as I know but that's fine by me, movies don't follow the original plot that accurately either. And of course the language isn't quite like in the book either.

Some characters were depicted kind of weird, or the art was way different than the others, like Mr. Collins, he looked more like a carricature than a character.

Since I got a free electroniy copy I head to read it on my computer and often the images seemed like they were kind of blurred and it was not as nice to read because my eyes felt exhausted.

All in all I enjoyed the read except for some minor details so I'm giving it 4 stars.
