This was fun!! I received this book as a giveaway at a ComicCon last year, and had no idea what to expect from a manga adaptation of P&P. I was pleasantly surprised. While the writing may not be Austen-worthy, the characters do well in manga format.

The best part? This book sparked an interest in Jane Austen with my 10-year old!! That‘s a big win! She has read it twice and wants to read more of the Manga Classics adaptations. And watch the movie.

ephemeralwaltz That's great! 7y
Daisey I‘ve read a few of these Manga Classics and this is my favorite! 7y
Sophoclessweetheart That‘s so cute it‘s sparked interest in your daughter. My toddler is a fan too but has been introduced via BabyLit classics. She‘s a big fan of Emma by Jane Austen in babylit form xx 7y

alisiakae @Daisey How are the others? I was looking at maybe getting Les Mis and Sense & Sensibility for her sometime. @Wanderingwithwords Have you ever seen the Usborne Illustrated Classics? My daughter was a big fan of the Illustrsted Shakespeare Collection when she was younger. 7y
Sophoclessweetheart I have! They‘re adorable. I have the Shakespeare ones for her but she‘s a little young for them at the moment. She‘s only just three. 😁💛 7y
alisiakae @Wanderingwithwords Not too far off! Maya was 4 when she discovered it at a bookstore. 7y
Daisey I‘ve read this one, Les Mis, and Jane Eyre. I really liked Jane Eyre, but thought Les Mis would be more difficult to follow without prior familiarity with the story. 7y
Sophoclessweetheart Omg!! How bizarre is that. My little one is Maya too😹😹😹💛 7y
alisiakae @Wanderingwithwords You picked a great name! 😉 7y
Sophoclessweetheart 😹😹😉😉💛 7y

With the #JaneAustenswap on the horizon, I thought I would catch up on a few Austenite books I already own.

Elizabeth Bennett comes across a bit differently so far in this manga adaptation, but she definitely throws shade.

Another manga version of a Jane Austen book and I thought it was fantastic! I read Emma in a Great Books course in college and had forgotten much of it until reading this, so it was fun to revisit the story and characters in another format.

Very enjoyable to read, I really REALLY appreciate its simplicity. Classics can be ridiculously hard to read. Books like this make them much more accessible. (keep in mind the TW I posted earlier tho, simple dialogue = more obvious meanings, including potential trigger-inducing subjects)

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. Try though I have, my feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." IT'S THE PART EVERYONE IT'S THE PART

Wow I'm getting uncomfortable at the removal of consent & emotional manipulation coming from the mother/Mr. Collins. Maybe I didn't notice it when I read P&P bcz I was younger then and didn't know about it, maybe it was just really subtle in the novel and way more apparent in this bare-bones dialogue manga, but idk. ⚠️ Throwing out a TW for consent/emotional manipulation just in case. ⚠️

queerbookreader Keep in mind, this is just for the manga version because I think these triggers are a lot more apparent because it's bare bones dialogue, unlike the novel, in its 10 point, single spaced font, full-page run on sentences and severe abuse of the semicolon. 8y
kammartinez It's amazing how changing the way a story is told can reveal aspects of it that we might find delightful, or problematic. I didn't used to have a problem with Wuthering Heights, but after seeing a film version of it I realized how much of a creep Heathcliff was. 8y
BookishFeminist Great point! It's definitely a problem in the actual novel too but not as pronounced probably. You're onto something about the bare bones dialogue making stuff like this more apparent. 8y

TW: CONSENT. She has said no to Mr. Collins' proposal no less than 6 times and he's still convinced they're getting married. Sounds like people have been fucking up the concept of consent for a long, long time. 😒

Sometimes it takes a classic being made into a manga to realize just *how* catty some of these characters are. 👀

Mr. Darcy is the embodiment of me at a party. Maybe he's not actually a dick. Maybe the man's just got hella social anxiety. Same, my guy.
