This was BEAUTIFUL. Thank you netgalley for the copy to read for an honest review. Now I need to go find and buy this as a physical copy because it is just stunning. And I am OBSESSED with Nightmare Before Christmas, so I was definitely excited for this. It was just beautiful artwork.

I liked the movie and so I had to read the manga. Great artwork

It's Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas! It's my very first manga experience! What's not to love?!

OK, so you know the story of The Nightmare Before Christmas, right? If you said "no" I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you and wait here patiently while you go watch the movie...

OK, so you know the story of The Nightmare Before Christmas, right? Great!!!

So you know that in Halloween Town, Jack the Pumpkin King is over it! After another successful Halloween Jack is disillusioned and wanders off, followed by his trusty ghost dog Zero. I <b>love</b> Zero! After finding a Christmas tree shaped door in a tree trunk Jack stumbles into Christmas Town where he discovers snow, colour and the wonders of Christmas. Jack decides he's going to be Sandy Claws this year and gets the freaky folks of Halloween Town involved in the preparations. Then things kind of fall apart. Can Sally, who's secretly in love with Jack, help to save the day? Will the kidnapped Santa Claus ever make it back to Christmas Town? Can Christmas be saved?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, then obviously you haven't been paying attention. I'll wait here patiently while you go watch the movie...

Right, so now we all know the story, let me say that this manga book is absolutely brilliant! If this is what manga is all about then I've been seriously missing out. This story stays true to the magic of the original and the artwork still feels like you're walking through Tim Burton's mind. With the cover illustration by Natsuki Minami and manga by Jun Asuka, I'm sold!

Kids and adults alike will appreciate this book. It's suitable for those who decorate their trees by November and still have them up in January and it's also a great read for those like me whose December catchphrase is 'Bah, humbug!'. Plus, there's Halloween Town! Need I say any more??

I received an ARC from NetGalley (thank you so much to NetGalley, TokyoPop and Diamond Book Distributors for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

I really love the movie, so I just had to read this manga.
And I brought back all the things I loved about the movie. For everyone who loved the movie just as much as I did, they should read this manga.
I am thinking about getting a physical copy, so I can display it on my shelfs and look at it as often as I want to.

Since the file is only 3 pages long and seems to be only the cover artwork, I will rate it accordingly. This was my daughters favorite movie. It was my favorite movie as well. I love the cover art and look forward to purchasing a physical copy in my daughters memory. I will also purchase another copy to donate to the local library since she spent an ENORMOUS amount of time in the anime/manga/graphic novel section.

Could not open file I tried several times with not luck. So I can not honestly review this book.
