As with the Romeo and Juliet manga I read, I loved the artwork, but the story was alright and I just couldn't get behind the way the dialogue was written. I get that this is the way Shakespeare wrote, but I just don't love that at all.

An interesting adaptation of the original novel by Shakespeare. Although the graphics are well done, the story was hard to follow and many of today’s youth probably will not understand this manga book. If you are able to follow the old English style of Shakespeare’s writing you will probably enjoy this novel.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Manga Classics are always a beautiful experience and this was no exception. I really enjoyed this adaptation and would 100% recommend it to friends!

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I really enjoyed this book the characters were interesting and the book was hard to put down. I highly recommend

I think I'm gonna be so into the Manga Classics series from now on. I like Macbeth but this is so much more fun.

This is the way to teach the play.  The full text done as a work of Manga is brilliant.  I love watching the plays, of course, but they were meant to be seen. This is the perfect merging of the play on stage with the text. Context is everything.  This book gives it all.  Love the Manga Classics series. Next time I have a chance to teach Shakespeare, I am coming here.

While I’m new to manga, I still loved this book. The story is well known - Shakespeare’s classic play Macbeth - although the format is unique. There were a few quirks to get used to, and I had a few issues finding the right app to read it, but I loved the style.  

Highly recommend.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley.com and voluntarily chose to review.

I love Shakespeare plays. I think that putting them in manga format helps younger people get into these amazing plays.
My biggest complaint is that since it's a manga it is read back to front and on the phone you have to scroll all the way to the back. Also page breaks are not always that easy to identify so sometimes I didn't know where to start

1.5. So, thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read it. But I have to be honest, I didn’t finish it. The drawings are wonderful, this is a great point, the best. I don't want to be mean or anything, but I don’t think the manga format is a good choice if you keep the original text. Maybe, a more modern adaptation of it would have been better. Because between the text, that can be difficult, and the drawings, which are full of details, you can easily get lost. 
I’m pretty sad to be honest. I really wanted to like it.

I gave feedback on this book ages ago but lost the book. I just loaded the book again to show a friend of mine at work who sounded really interested in this concept

I really enjoyed getting to read Macbeth in manga format! I’ve always been curious about Macbeth and now I’m glad I tried it! I give this one 4 out of 5 stars!

Macbeth is one of the Shakespeare Classics that I haven't read yet, but I will do for sure (maybe only for un, but still). Again this Manga Classic made me fall in love with the story and gave me back the spark of love for Shakespeare that I seemingly lost due to university stuff. But now I'm back in the game, thanks to the beautiful artwork of this Manga!

A wonderfully original way to read one of Shakespeare's plays! This really helped me better envision the play, which I knew and loved from before. Loved the art style too!

If you love classic literature and mangas you'll love this book. Great modernization of a classic novel without trying to pass it off as their own story. Truly appreciated.

This Manga Classics adaptation of Macbeth really excels with the use of imagery. For those who may not be familiar with this play or Shakespeare in general, this adaptation does a great job of allowing the reader to follow along. However, I do think the downfall of this adaptation is the use of the original text. It makes it difficult to fully understand sometimes and requires additional sources that can help the reader to grasp what is said if they're not familiar with this play.

I wasn't able to download this manga but I do enjoy the original macbeth, or rather The Scottish Play. I do like reimagined tellings of old stories. It keeps old classics new-again. I would have loved to have been able to read this.

"Macbeth" is amongst my top 3 plays by Shakespeare, so I was very excited to see what they'd do for a manga adaptation, especially because of Crystal Chan's artwork and the fact that I liked the other adaptations done by Udon that I've read so far.

Unfortunately, it felt like a dry retelling in which everything is taken from the play as is, old-fashioned language included, and thus means nothing new nor fresh was brought in. I feel this was a lamentable miss of an opportunity, because at least the language could've been updated. As is, the only thing that shines through in this adaptation is the artwork, which stays as lovely and beautiful as I've come to expect from this artist.

Gave it something for the art as that was the only saving grace. It is basically the play but with art to cover it which was a little disappointing!

This is the second manga of a classic I have read. As I said in a previous review, I love the concept of turning these tried and true books into something new. 

Macbeth is a classic story with so much heart, drama, and deception. The artwork in this goes along so well with the story.  The story is the same as they leave the text word for word but add the pictures and artwork that just adds to it. 

Highly recommend it. I am also going to find some more classics to read. 

Thanks to NetGalley for the read.

I was skeptical when I downloaded "Manga Classics: Macbeth" because while I enjoy manga, I'm not as keen on Shakespeare. That said, I think the combination for this manga works. The entirety of "Macbeth" is not contained in this tankubon. Rather, the creators pick scenes that fit the narrative that they want to present. I liked it because it doesn't take away from the story, but rather condenses it. The art is good, if a bit generic. Macbeth is a bit too smooth (I like Macbeth rough), but for this presentation, I'm good with it. Overall, it is a fun read.
