![]() ![]() ![]() The imagery reveals hidden moments that might not be explicit in the story, but can be huge tiny moments to reveal personality. The art brings some of that back, though, so it’s really a constant tradeoff. It simplifies many of the interactions and abolishes much of the subtlety. I’m not the first to note that the banter that’s such a feature of Jane Austen’s original work are notably absent, to keep the story length manageable. ![]() The drawback to the condensing of the story are the details that are missing. The idea of the story is maintained, and it turns into a quick read of a familiar story, good for if you want the story but also want to give time to other games as well. ![]() Since Pride and Prejudice is such a lengthy text, they had to adapt it rather than maintaining the full text as with Shakespeare’s. The balance of love, wealth, and status is hard to find, and they’ll have to work past lies, pride, scoundrels, and ballgowns to find it.Īnother wonderful Manga Classics adaptation! I finished Manga Classics: Macbeth and knew I had to look up some of their other works after seeing how excellent that one was. Elizabeth and her sisters are looking for marriage. All of the joy, heartache, and romance of Jane Austen’s original, perfectly illuminated by the sumptuous art of manga-ka Po Tse, and faithfully adapted by Stacy E. Beloved by millions the world over, Pride & Prejudice is delightfully transformed in this bold new manga adaptation. ![]()
