It was a great manga! I’ve been enjoying reading all of these classics retellings as a manga form. Thank you for sending me a electronic copy in exchange for a honest review

This was an interesting adaptation on the story Anne of Green Gables. The artwork throughout the pages did give off a feeling of child-like reminiscence. Maybe this is why I couldn't connect with the story too well. There were also important moments from the original work that felt watered down in this adaptation. However, as a manga of it's own, I can see the appeal it may have on some readers.

As a child I loved Anne of Green Gables and was keen to introduce it to my daughter but she was reluctant to read 'an old book'. She loved the Manga style of this book and really enjoyed reading the story. I think it's an excellent way of telling the story and making it accessible for reluctant readers!

Muchas gracias Netgalley por el envío de una copia avanzada de esta historia a cambio de una reseña honesta.

"Ana de las tejas verdes" siempre será una de mis historias favoritas de la vida. Cuando vi la serie de Netflix dije: "debo leer el libro". Cuando leí el libro dije: "ojalá exista una novela gráfica o un manga de esta historia". Y aquí tuve la oportunidad de disfrutar por tercera vez de esta historia que tanto amo. Me encantó la adaptación, simplemente, maravillosa.

Never saw an episode of Anne of Green Gables or read any page from the original book. But as a manga fan, I could not help myself and started reading this one! I am impressed with how well the story was told through manga-style drawing and now I am totally hooked to read the book!

Anne is a young girl who looks for shelter and honestly, a family that would love her. Her childhood was pretty rough but she keeps trying her best, she always sees the good in other people and never judges. Her imagination, good disposition, and reactions are sometimes sweet, but there were times when I thought that she is too good for the people she met.

Hopefully, everything will settle for little Anne and I cannot wait to start reading the original series.

A fantastic graphic novel that accurately tells the story of Anne of Green Gables. Chan & Chan encapsulate Anne's joy and vivaciousness from the moment she appears on the page. Their drawings cleverly provide excellent context for each and every character and paired with well-considered dialogue provide generous insight into each character in the tale. This is a brilliant adaptation of the classic is a fantastic version for long time Anne fans, as well as newer readers, as it presents all of the best elements of the beloved story of Anne at Green Gables ensuring there will be no 'tragical' disappointment for any readers.

Truly beautiful!

Anne of the Green Gables's maga adaptation is not only accurate, but also it adds a new, heartwarming dimension to the story.

The art style is stunning and the story is extremely easy to follow because of how the panels are organized. The art captures the emotions of the characters perfectly, making it beautiful yet heart wrenching.

This was my first classics to manga adaptation, and I'm looking forward to diving into more of these! They are irresistible.

In addition to this, as an English Language and Literature teacher, I'm planning on incorporating these adaptations into my classes. They have inspired me to write a paper on the benefits of teaching classics through manga.

All in all, the idea of making classics into manga is ingenious.

I absolutely adored this read!! 5/5 if you've been a fan of Anne of green gables or you've become a fan, or have never even heard of this book you will love this story!! It has cottage core and it's about this girl named Anne being adopted by a pair of siblings and growing up in their town and the adventures and friends she meets along this way. This read completely submersed me in the story and I absoloutley fell in love with the way the author portrayed Anne and her story!! Everyone should go read this if they're looking for a nice light fun read!!

Anne of Green Gables is a book I simply adore, good for every ages. This manga adaptation is the same, the art was lovely and the story easy to follow. It did a great job following the original, some chapters shorter than others. I do think it could have spent more time on some parts, especially some secondary characters, but as it was already more than 300 pages, I think it did a good job showing us Anne and her life at Green Gables.

I love the idea of making classics more accessible. This was a great edition that not only explains manga to new readers, but also exposes readers to Anne of Green Gables!

'Anne of Green Gables' is one of my all-time favorite books and I love to read manga. I am always a bit hesitant when I see books get adapted into manga/comic form, but I really enjoyed reading this one. The art work is very good and expressive. 'Anne' is the perfect book for a manga adaption and they did a great job of putting all the most important scenes in it and giving it new life. You can tell everyone involved loved and wanted to share this classic story. It could've easily been a cheap-looking book with mediocre art with no life but it wasn't and I'm very thankful.

What a wonderful take on a Classic Tale. Being from the Maritimes I am very familiar with this story and I loved this retelling!

Story of an 11 y/0 orphan girl who lived with the Cuthbert siblings (who intetionaly wanted a boy to help in the farm). They took pity on her (or maybe was just enchanted by her). Anne was a very open, talkative and mischievous girl. She had a long fight with one of his classmates Gilbert Blythe. Tragedy struck and, she had to change her plans. Gilbert sacrificed a job to help her.

Highly recommend this manga comics, if you can appreciate a simply illustrated story of a young, captivating girl, Anne of Green Gables (in black and white)

This was a very solid retelling of Anne of Green Gables. As a lifelong Anne fan, I was so excited to see this manga adaptation. The artwork was adorable, and I loved the characterization of Anne having giant, dream-filled eyes. Though the manga format was a little difficult for me to get used to at first, but it wasn’t too difficult to get used to it. All in all, I am strongly considering purchasing a physical copy to add to my collection of Anne memorabilia.

A wonderful adaptation of a classic! These manga classics are perfect for middle school students because they make the classics more accessible to students of all ages and abilities.

This is the book that made me the book lover I am today! I found this manga version charming and the artwork really helped tell the story in a way that young readers can appreciate the story. I also appreciated how the book has times where the artwork does the storytelling, there was not a need to use text to cover some of the art, it was enough on its own.

I think this is a great book that can introduce children to some of the classics their parents grew up on.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this lovely book!

Anne of Green Gables has always been a delightful reading experience for me. This version in particular was in the form of classic manga style.

The illustrations were as delightful as the story itself. I loved all the details - Anne's hair, clothes, expressions; and I thought Matthew and Marilla were depicted perfectly. Some of the short manga-style chapters (almost-but-not-quite four-panel style) were surprisingly very impactful and memorable (such as the one with Anne's dyeing her hair green).

I'd never thought I'd need another adaption of Anne of Green Gables, but this one was an unexpected surprise. I flew through the beautiful pages and it was such a joy to experience.

Thanks to netgalley and Manga Classics for granting access to the arc of this evergreen children's classic. This is one of first arcs I received from netgalley and my first Manga.
Synopsis: Mathew Cuthbert and Marilla Cuthbert are siblings, planning to adopt a boy to help in their farm at Green Gables. But, Anne Shirley arrives on the train and this highly imaginative girl manages to win their hearts and is adopted instead. What follows is a coming of age story, every child would love to know.
Review: This is a highly celebrated classic which has withstood the test of time.
The story revolves around Anne , a highly imaginative , wierd , and as she calls herself , homely girl and her evolution from her adoption. The relationships in the story are quite heartwarming , be it with her adopted family or with her bosom friend Diana. I cannot comment on how perfect the adaptation is , since I've not read the original story. I loved the way the manga has focused on feminism , bullying and ambitions. The illustrations were beautiful and has done justice to the story, making it fast paced and easily imbibed. This is a book every girl need to read while growing up.

Though Anne of Green Gables is a classic, I’ve never read L.M. Montgomery’s novel, so this review is based solely on the Manga Classics edition.
I have always heard people praising the original book so when I got hands on this manga edition I was very happy and excited.
The story follows Anne(with an E) who arrives at Green Gables by mistake but charms everyone so much that she is adopted there. The story talks about a young Anne growing up into a woman.

I absolutely loved the book. I don't know what else to tell. Most amazing of all was Anne's character. She is a girl who is inquisitive and dreams of an independent life. Mind you, this story is set in early 1870s and thinking of a female character like this is something I find praiseworthy.

The book also made me emotional at the end where Anne grew into a wonderful woman.

The manga edition was very good. I felt it would be the same with the novels so I have decided to read the whole series

Though Anne of Green Gables is a classic, I’ve never read L.M. Montgomery’s novel, so this review is based solely on the Manga Classics edition with no external influences. In addition, this was my first experience reading manga. The transition was easy because there were directions and illustrations showing how to read manga. Also, there is additional content at the end which includes floor plans and setting illustrations. On top of that, Crystal S. Chan provides a narrative in which she discusses the process of adapting Anne of Green Gables. From an educator’s perspective, this is a valuable addition because it allows teachers to have an even deeper discussion concerning author’s purpose and audience.

The dialogue and narration were easy to follow and worked well to propel the plot of this story. The events were entertaining, humorous, and moving. I found myself laughing and crying at various moments.

In a little over 300 pages, Chan develops unique characters; I fell in love with Anne (spelled with an E). Of course, I thank L.M. Montgomery for that, but Chan’s dialogue choices and actions convey Anne’s imaginative spirit and stubborn nature. Though the novel is set in the past, Anne’s personality and her experiences allow middle grade readers to relate to her.

Many of the messages are relevant to today’s readers. The idea that education is a means of improving one’s condition develops throughout the text and culminates at the end of the story. Though ambition, success, and achievement are admired, loving one’s family and being happy to sacrifice one’s own desires in order to care for others proves to be the most admirable character trait. In our 21st century society, this concept is one that students may rarely see in their own lives. It may also be one that is more difficult to understand and can lead to thought provoking discussions.

Overall, this adaption is sure to bring a new generation of reader to Avonlea, and they, as I am, will be forever changed.
