DNF

I requested this manga because I thought that consuming this story in a different format would make me enjoy it more. Sadly that hasn't been the case. The art style itself is enjoyable to look at but I just don't seem to like the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

This rendition of Mark Twain's most challenged classic is true to both his story and the manga art form. My students hesitant to read much less read classics enjoy Manga classics. I am certain they will enjoy this title as well.

This book did a great job in staying faithful to the source material while balancing the troubling and problematic parts of it. I really love how this highlights how far Huck will go to save Jim. Their relationship is such an important one. The artwork was beautiful and really helped highlight the story elements. I enjoyed the characterization and how everything was balanced. The story is a product of its time but I think the team creating the manga made smart choices when creating this book, and I understand why the choices were made. I did enjoy reading this version of the book.

Read through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A retelling of a classic using manga style artwork. Excellent art, story is true to the original. I love the the bonus stuff to use in the classroom. Excellent addition to curriculum.

4 stars

These books make reading so fun! I may actually persuade my kids to pick up a book! I just reviewed Manga Classics: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. #NetGalley

A wonderful adaptation of the classic: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with wonderful illustrations by Manga Classics. They adapted the story plot in such a way that it is very easy to follow and understand. But the book takes the reader through an emotional rollercoaster which went missing in manga adaption.

Some of the pages had a lot of text, which was hard to read for a graphic novel. But the manga did a good job of drawing different images for each of the locations Huck & Jim went to. It was cool to see the different ways the illustrators were able to differentiate each of the settings differently.

I haven't read the original, but I think I understood the story just by reading the manga.
As usual, the summary of the story is great and the main points are mentioned. The illustrations are good too.
It's a good way to get introduced to the original book and story.

It`s sad, I could not read the book because graphical designs do not work with the ebook reader. But I am sure that the book is good, I do love classics and I read manga sometimes. I'm sure that people who don't usually read novels have a good chance to appreciate classics in another way. Love to see it in the bookshelves.

I think that it's really awesome to take a classic and turn it into a manga. My biggest issue is that it's hard to read on a tablet/phone. Since they are read back to front, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to start the book. Also the page breaks are not very easy to see so sometimes you can not tell what page you are on.
So this story follows huckleberry Finn as a 14 year old who is tired of how his like is going. So he escapes down the Mississippi river. He is joined by an escaped slave named Jim. Some things were cut or combined to keep the story flowing. It brings a lot of issues of the time to life and helps kids learn and deal with things.

Again, Manga Classics outdid themselves with this one. I wasn't really fond of the story of Huckleberry Finn when I was younger, but this edition was just so beautifully drawn, I loved it. The story itself might be a bit difficult and wasn't my favorite, but it is definitly beautiful as a piece of art.

Thank you to @udonentertainment @mangaclassics @manga #manga #udonentertainment @netgalley for the digital #graphicnovel in return for my honest review.

👐🏼 The illustrations were great, but I had a hard time getting into the original dialogues.

My thoughts…
Jazz Hands 👐🏼 I’m a huge fan of Manga Classics now! And the above classics were familiar to me but yet, reading them in this format gave me new thoughts and feelings. The illustrations were incredible that brought characters I’ve met before even more alive. If you’re not use to manga comics, reading back to front, will need getting used tobut it’s not a big deal. If you’ve been meaning to read classics, these are great introductions to them. I want to start collecting them now!

The art is absolutely lovely in this adaptation, and makes for a very pleasant visual read. Obviously, the story itself is a product of its time, often uncomfortable. I've read Tom Sawyer, but haven't actually read the original Huck Finn, so I can't give a proper comparison between the two, but I'd certainly recommend this for anyone who wanted to get a little further into some classic stories but might not be prepared for a whole, full-length book.

I am a huge fan of Mark Twain and when I saw that my favorite childhood classic was made into a manga I screamed. I have alwasys loved Huckleberry Finn and have even read it to my kids. I highly recommend this book in manga form.

All of my stars for this one go the art style.  I really liked the character design, and I liked how clear and visual the story was.  However, I didn't enjoy revisiting the story of Huck Finn.  I recognize that it is a piece of its time, but it didn't age well and I didn't have fun reading it.

Magna is hard enough to read backwards, but it’s even harder on an e book. The format made it difficult to understand the story as an ebook. The story itself was good, but I think magna needs to be in paper format.

A very fun read. I enjoyed watching Huck Finn feeling like he was doing the right thing but feeling awful about it, and feeling like he was doing bad (though not from our cultural perspective), and feeling better. The story played a lot on concepts of "what IS good?" , "what IS bad?", and "what IS right?"
I highly recommend this adaptation as it is very readable and enjoyable.

This was literally just Huckleberry Finn in manga form. I think it's a great way to have classics become more accessible to kids and teens that might not want to read them. Overall, I enjoyed it and would definitely read more classics in this format.

A great way to take in the classics in a new and artistic way. Often I find myself unable to digest the classics because the language gets in the way of the visual. That is not the case here.

I simply love these Manga adaptations of classics. They are beautifully drawn and tell the classic stories in a really nice way.
Huckelberry Finn wasn't one of the classics I read before but eventhough I quite enjoyed it.
I really look forward to reading more of these classics.
