Anne of Green Gables was one of the stories I grew up reading, and I was delighted at the chance to return to that innocent, captivating world of Anne's imagination, perseverance, and kind heart with this manga adaptation. It's overall a breezy, pleasant read, though that's not to say it's without its angsty moments. Still, the story is ultimately a heartwarming tale of a found family and how one little orphan girl changes the lives around her for the better.

The plot can seem a bit meandering, but it's pleasantly so, like you're taking a ramble through a natural landscape and enjoying the sights of a scenic walk. We see snapshots of Anne's five or so years growing up at Green Gables and how both are enriched by the experience. Some chapters are quite abridged, though, sometimes taking up only a page or so in the story as a quick aside of developing events, so I will say this adaptation is not a complete replacement for the full novel.

As for the art, it's simply gorgeous and picturesque. If you want a relaxing manga read, I highly recommend this title. It's a wonderful, easy-to-understand introduction for new readers and a sweet lil' supplement for longtime fans to enjoy.

I've been wanting to read "Anne of Green Gables" for a while now! I always hear about it from other readers. When I found out there was a manga classics version I was excited! I'm so glad I finally got to see who Anne was. "Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables" made me want to purchase the novel version. Anne is so charming and witty. I loved anticipating on what she would say next. :)

A good addition to a spectacular series, this YA Manga is an adaptation of the Classic Anne of Green Gables. Gorgeous artwork and simple but effective text that emotes the essence of the original story. An inventive way to illustrate a classic, especially to readers who would not typically explore the original work. Recommended for YA readers and fans of adaptations.

Net Galley Feedback

This was so boring! I’ve been trying to make myself read it for over 6 weeks now and I just can’t do it anymore. I can’t finish it. I tried. I tried very hard. DNF as they say.

This manga brought the story to life with its illustrations. It was spot-on in the quotations of various characters in the story. I like the expressions on their faces. I also like the sense of humor used to portray the characters' individuality. The manga was highly entertaining and heartwarming. I would highly recommend it to any and all readers.

Loved this book, it brings the story to life in a new way for a new audience. Anne is a character that teaches strength and perseverance to
All readers. Readers will be enthralled with the adventures and the characters. Anne is a great story and seeing it in this format is heart warming and wonderful.

oh how i missed these characters — i was a bit hesitant at the start but once i got used to the manga design, the pacing was a lot easier on the eyes. the characters and places and everything was drawn so beautifully but it was actually the little snippets we had from anne’s imagination added in that truly sold me. it was a nice detail i hadn't expected and made me smile. them gilbert appeared and i lost all sense.

thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this!

I always enjoyed the book it's based on. It's a real classic and I always loved the heartwarming story. The artstyle of this manga is really nice and I think it fits all these characters very well. The manga contains a lot of important parts from the books and it transports the feelings really well. Some parts might could have been a little longer and some funny or nice moments wasn't in the manga. Still it's really nice and I really enjoyed reliving a childhood memory book from a refreshing and new perspective.

I’ve loved Anne of Green Gables since I was a child and I really can’t think of a better format for her story than manga. It was so adorable!!! A fresh take on a timeless story. I loved it immensely

had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a free copy of this book! Manga retellings of classic novels are one of my favorite things to see available. It truly allows you to see classic novels in a different light, especially if the older style of language is difficult to understand. The illustrations are beautiful, this manga truly gave me a new appreciaton for Anne and all of her adventures!

I've been trying to read more classics this year and I couldn't say no to a chance at reading a manga version of a local classic. I grew up visiting the gables house in the summers and my fiance is even from PEI so It's a shock I had never read this before tbh lol

thank you Netgalley for the e-book!!

Anne of Green Gables is my favourite book, but I've never been a fan of manga - it's just not for me. However, I really loved this - the format gives so much more with adding thoughts to scenes.

I think I missed something extra by not having the print version - I'm genuinely surprised by the fact I want to go and buy this book for my collection and to read again. I've always struggled with Manga, but this has made me want to try more manga classics.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

One of my favorite childhood classics brought to a vivid life! I loved all of the artwork, the cuteness, and fun of this version. Anne is an orphan looking for her place in this world, a world where she constantly uses fantasy and romance to create a place that makes her feel safe and wanted. A place to belong. Her adventures often end up in mischief and she comes to be loved and cherished by her new family and friends in Avonlea.
Great for all ages, and fun to read along with the classic novel.
P.S. Gilbert is my heart!

Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, Crystal S. Chan, and Kuma Chan bring you this classic in a way you may not have seen or considered before. If you know someone that is interested in Anne and also enjoys graphic novels this is a great book. A wonderful bonus to this book is Montgomery's granddaughter, Kate McDonald Butler, gives the forward. This is the only authorized Manga adaption of this book.
