I love Anne of Green Gables. Being able to read it in a manga was amazing and being able to see it outside of my head. It was so good.

Anne of Green Gables has been one of my favourite classic children's book for a while now. I own many different copies, some of them illustrated. For me, the illusrations never relly added anything to the storyline or made a difference in how much pleasure it gave me to read about Anne's adventures..
Mangas and mahwas were my obsession growing up. They were a way to learn english and were accessible online.
I love both genres separately. Did I ever imagine that this two genres intertwined would result in something enjoyable? Not for one minute, especially when it comes to depicting an iconic character such as Anne with an "e".
However I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I was wrong.
This manga works on so many levels I can not believe. that until this edition I've never realized how similar the original "Anne of Green Gables" - with it's emotional ups and downs plus the mixture of drama and hilarious events - is to mangas and animes.
Since I can't really review the content and dialogues themselves, I can only say that this was a pleasent read and I would recommend it to anyone who loves cute mangas and/or the original story of Anne.

Since watching Anne with an E and reading the Anne of Green gables books I have fallen in love with the great characters! It’s a very cute story with a great setting. Seeing it as a graphic novel was very nice.
I do think I would’ve liked it more with colours though.

Lovely story. I've yet to read Anne of Green Gables, but this was a lovely adaptation that makes me want to pick up the series. Anne and her peers are so loveable and fun to read about and I feel like Crystal Chan and Kuma Chan did a great job at picking the important events in the original to make the story concise but also comprehensive. And the art work was wonderful!

I would never have thought of it, but Anne’s character was sort of meant for Manga. The medium suits the story greatly. I loved how the art realized Anne’s vivid imagination, and I appreciated the moments of word-for-word dialogue taken from the book.
There were a few scenes I wished were longer—even some that were so short it was hardly worth including them—and some scenes didn’t need to be as long as they were (in comparison). Additionally, Aunt Josephine was not nearly present enough in the story, and we can always do with a bit more Gilbert Blythe. But overall this is a lovely adaption of "Anne."

Thank you for Netgalley for providing me with this read!
I didn't even know a manga classic series was a thing! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this lovely manga of a favorite classic.
I reread this book earlier this year and found this adaptation of it to be pretty spot on. The art style is very nice. I loved seeing Anne in this format and how the story played out. Anne is a character I'll always adore because of her wonderful way of looking at things. I'm glad I got a chance to read it in this form!

"Anne with an E" is one of my favorite series, I loved the story of young Anne Shirley and her new family at Green Gables and Avonlea. In love and at the same time devastated by the cancellation of the series, I decided to take refuge in other formats of this story.
In this unique volume, we will meet the Cuthbert family, Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert, siblings who adopt a boy to help with the farm work. What is their surprise when the orphanage sends Anne Shirley, a 13-year-old girl. The siblings were expecting a boy, but they would soon realize that what they needed in their lives was an imaginative and talkative young woman like Anne.
Saying something negative about this story would be lying to you. I loved it. I was in love with Anne from the first moment and with her beautiful friendship with Diana Barry. I love the family relationship that the Cuthberts have with young Shirley and how this beautiful family is growing.
If I had to say something negative, it would be time jumps. It was a very extensive work and therefore it is normal that certain scenes or plots were eliminated, but even so, I have enjoyed it very much and it is a novel that I recommend.

I haven't read the original book and so I don't know whether there ate changes in the story in this manga version. But I really enjoyed it. The story was fun and the illustrations were beautiful. It was quite easy to read.

This is my first Manga. So I am not an expert.
I loved the art work. The story was faithful to the Anne of Green Gables story. The description of characters came through in the art. Interesting background and facts at the end of the book were interesting and helpful for me to understand the world of Manga.
I have pre-ordered myself a physical copy. Anne of Green Gables is a favourite book of mine and I this will be a great addition to my collection.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #MangaClassics for a digitally copy for an honest review.

Another beautiful adaptation of a classic that has conquered generations. Anne with her chatty and defiant way needs to learn to live in the new community where she is living now. Gradually, she creates bonds with the siblings who adopt her and also makes friends like Diana.
I found the characterizations very well done and the sweet and light atmosphere of the original book goes well with the graphics, the original text also remained very faithful.
Hoping to publish in manga the other volumes of Anne's series.
5/5 stars

I was given a copy of this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I've read several of these manga classics now. Some of the stories I was more familar with than others. I have to say I was a little disappointed in some of the creative liberties they took with this particular book. It still has the same feeling of the original but it loses much of its charm. These adaptations can't be easy to create and not everyone is going to be happy 100% of the time. I suppose my heart just wanted a closer rendition.

I loved that the forward to this was written by L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter, it was a lovely touch. The adaptation itself I had mixed feelings about. Whilst it was a very different way of visualising Anne's world I did grow to enjoy the mega style, my disappointment chiefly lay in the cuts to the story. Whilst I can appreciate the necessity of this in any adaptation the fact that all chapters were included, even if only for one page, made it feel a bit jarring at times when we jumped from one to the next. Characters or plot points became assumed knowledge when they really hadn't been mentioned prior to that at all. It would have been preferable either to cut down the earlier content to allow for more focus on all chapters, or to cut some chapters/characters/plots entirely; rather than the more disjointed approach chosen.

I really enjoyed this. I have never read the original Anne of Green Gables because it was so hard to get into. This book definitely solved that problem. The pictures and comic-like style made it so much easier to read. I think the pictures were very well drawn. I have read some manga books where some of the pictures were really random and had nothing to do with the storyline. This does not have that at all. A great read for anyone wanting to read the classic in a fun way!

Excellently done - but one glaring mistake - Anne has her hair all cut off, but it magically grows into long braids right away. I wish my hair could do that! Besides that it was really all grand, a perfect visual retelling of the beautiful classic.

I was super excited when approved for this book. Unfortunately, when the file uploaded to my device it was sideways and not upright. I could not fix it to make it readable.

Anne of Green Gables is a timeless tale of a young orphan with a huge imagination and penchant for getting into all sorts of trouble. She has a huge heart, and is the most loyal of friends, but her big imagination tends to get her in more trouble than out of it.
This manga adaptation is true to the original story and brings a graphic retelling to a story that helped define my childhood. While the original story may be more difficult for young readers to really grasp (I remember reading it with a dictionary and asking my mom what different words meant often as I read), this adaptation makes this beautiful more accessible for all ages and reading levels.
Highly recommend for children of all ages.

Reading this was such a trip down memory lane for me as I read the original novels and watched the movies back in middle school. This manga goes through every chapter of the book so it’s a very faithful adaptation. Despite that, the pacing surprisingly never felt off. Dialogue and scenes had to be cut to fit the story into a manga format, but the story still flowed well. Seeing some of my favourite scenes as a kid, like when Anne hit Gilbert’s head with a chalkboard or when Anne got Diana drunk, actually brought some of the same feelings of enjoyment as when I read the novels. That alone makes this an amazing adaptation!
In terms of the art, I love how closely it stuck to the details of the characters and location, especially the portrayal of Anne, Marilla and Matthew. They look just like how I’d picture them! I do think they could have made Gilbert cuter, but that's probably because nothing could live up to the handsomeness of Jonathan Crombie.
Overall, this is a really good introduction to the series for anyone who hasn’t read the books, seen the movies or seen the TV show, but it’s also very enjoyable for fans of the series! So anyone can and should read this if they’re interested in reading the original story of Anne of Green Gables, but don't want to read through a novel. It would also be good for getting kids into the series who aren't huge readers.

Como fan de Anne, no sabía qué esperar más allá de el arte (a ver, vean lo que es esa tapaaa). Pero amé mucho como está llevado desde el formato libro al formato manga. Es un muy buen trabajo el que han hecho, y sin dudas podrías leer primero el manga y luego que libro que sentirías exactamente lo mismo.
Bello, bello. Lo amé.

I just love it. As a fan of Anne I was a little afraid that the adaptation wasn't enough but, guess what, Its just perfect. The best thing is that If you never read Anne of Green Gables before it didn't matter because this is a great adaptation. You would enjoy rather is the book or the manga, of course I recommend reading the book just because the manga left behind some thoughts of the characters.
Anyways, its beautiful, stunning and perfect.

To begin with, thank Netgalley for allowing me to read this manga based on the novel by Anne of Green Gables.
I had not read the book yet and after reading the manga he called me to read that version. I had certain notions of what the story was about, but I was not entirely sure if it would be my type of story, and well I ended up enchanted, a wonderful story with unique characters and although it is short we can see its evolution, it is appreciated that not They are perfect who, like everyone, have defects, make mistakes but are willing to improve.
I loved the story, it is simple but it delivers so many values, it leaves you with a beautiful feeling, the drawing is beautiful, the expressions that the characters have in certain circumstances are unique and the detail of the landscapes or the costumes of the time is not lost.
I feel that this manga is ideal for the little ones so that they can start reading without it being heavy.
For me it deserves 5 stars out of 5.

Fabulous!
I love everything Anne of Green Gables.
This manga was terrific! The illustrations are beautiful and the story moves right along.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc in exchange for my honest review.
