Like all other works in this series, this manga is true to the original book and helps visualise Huck's journey and adventures with his black runaway slave Jim. While the themes of friendship and search for freedom are universal, the narrative heavily relies on culture specific issues of Southern USA countries and the strong if not excessive use of Southern slang shows it, making it possibly difficult for readers from different backgrounds to entirely relate to and enjoy the story. If you are familiar with Mark Twain and like his books you will like this manga too.

Huck Finn is a hard read regardless of how it is presented.

I love these manga versions of the classics so much, and this was no exception. They seem to keep getting better and better. I had to read this book in school, but I think reading the manga version, or having the choice at least, would open this story up to so many more kids that just don't read the assigned book(s) for class. This makes it easier to read an understand and you can still connect well with the characters. The art work was great, the story line is amazing. I would recommend this book. 5 out of 5 stars.
