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 this manga is a great adaptation. It is a great way to get a new audience into one of my favorite novels of all time. I do wish the manga was in color, but I don't think that is very common with mangas in general... I also love the guide to teaching readers how to read mangas for those who may be unfamiliar, which makes reading new formats super accessable!

I love Anne and her imaginative mind so much! She dreams and talks and always gets into funny, interesting situation. The manga is true to the original and the art was very beautifully done. It made the story more digestible and it enhances the most crucial story parts! Definitely recommend to anyone who loves Anne of Green Gables or who wants to try this classic in more accessible writing.

As a Canadian, this is an interesting take on a classic. Since I'm not used to reading mangas I found the right to left reading to be difficult. However it is a fun and refreshing adaptation.

I have not read the book this manga was based on, so I don't know how this adaptation holds up to the original, but I am generally a big fan of illustrated adaptations of stories. The artwork was great and I very much enjoyed the story as well. Will probably pick up the actual book at some point as well!

This was an interesting take on a classic story. As a visual person, having the images depicting the story alongside the original writing was surprisingly helpful with understanding what was going on. I've not read Anne of Green Gables in the tradition text before but have wstched many a tv adaptation. This was a plesent way to immerse myself into the world of this classic. I think this is a good way for teens and young adults to introduce themselves the the classics

I've never read the original book of Anne of Green Gables, but I have long been intrigued by it. It's very popular amongst my US friends, but for some reason had never appeared on my radar as a kid, and the intrigue didn't get strong enough to persuade me as an adult to read it. With that in mind, I can't speak to the strength of the adaptation.

I really enjoyed it! I'm not sure I was expecting to, but the layout and the dialogue of the Manga style makes it an easy and quick read. There were a few noticeable issues in the artwork, but these may have been due to it being a review copy. I suspect one would struggle to read it on a phone screen, I used an iPad.

I’d definitely recommend it if you like the original book or are trying to persuade a reluctant reader to read the original. I don’t think I’ll end up reading the original now, but I do at least understand my N American friends’ enthusiasm for it.

Thank you, NetGalley for a copy of this series!

I have been a fan of Anne of Green Gables since the Netflix adaptation of it. I own a copy of the classic but haven't gotten to it yet. I figured this would be a good introduction to it before I go back and read it. I was right this was a nice read that gives Anne another dimension to her. I think Manga Classics are doing a great job of giving their audience classics reimagined. If you like classics but don't want to read the original source, this volume and the others are for you!

I absolutely adored this adaptation. The artwork was stunning and I have recommended it countless times to fans of Anne new and old.

I've been looking for ways to read more classics and the Manga Classics give me that opportunity. I would have never read the book but I did love the manga. To me it's a story of coming of age, a romantic tale and an adventure. Anne's bubbly persona grows with her. She start's of as this dramatic and annoying orphan and grows in to a strong young woman with ambitions, willpower and a mind of her own. She is headstrong and keeps her wide variety of imagination throughout the whole story, She has a caring nature towards the people who took her in and her friends. It's a petty our store will not sell this book or any of the books out of the Manga Classics series.

4/5

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of Anne of Green Gables in return for my honest opinion.

I loved this graphic novel. I will admit that I had never read this book so when I saw it was in a graphic novel I grabbed it as fast as I could.

I loved the drawings they were wonderfully done, I loved reading through the book and following along with the drawings as the story progressed.

I will admit at times I found Anne hard to take because she reminds me of that student in my class who has the best imagination but they are also the most tiring to be around. They just have so much energy and demand so much time and that’s what I was thinking about at the beginning of the book. But that is also a me problem and I know it is.

I will say some of the chapters were quite short and I felt like important information was missing but not enough to take away from the book as a whole.

It was a wonderfully fun read that brought me back to my childhood when are imaginations were running wild.

Let me start off by saying the art style was amazing even low resolution the drawing were beautiful. I read the novel Anne of Green gables as a child and this japanese comic adaptation was brilliant. It captures the essence of the story without bogging you down with details. It's a fun read and a wonderful idea, more classics should be done in comic form. I would definitely recommend reading this for a light hearted manga. If there was a version of the rest of the series I would totally read it.

Thanks to NetGalley for access to this volume! I really enjoyed this Manga retelling of Anne of Green Gables. It’s been a LONG time since I read the original, so I can’t speak to how aligned it is, but it seemed pretty aligned with the first movie! I was pleased to see that the characters weren’t modernized and stayed true to the time period. The illustrations were well done and clearly conveyed emotion and the plot. I liked how some of the dresses were modeled from the movie even though there was no attempt to make the characters look like their movie counterparts. The story flowed well though could be a bit abrupt or choppy at times, but overall, it was easily read, particularly if you are already familiar with the basic premise of the story.

The art is nice, but unfortunately everything is just too blurry to get through. So I will be DNFing. It's a shame because I love Anne of Green Gables.

I’ve loved this story since childhood. And the way it is done in the manga style is amazing. None of the story seems lost but the pictures add so much more to what is already there.

Anne of Green Gables was not my first manga classic and definitely will not be my last. For anyone wanting to read or reread a classic this is a very fun way to do it.

I loved this Manga adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. Translating a book to Manga is great way to take a classic and introduce it to new audiences, I found it an enjoyable way to read a book I've wanted to read, but was worried might be dry. I can see a set of Manga Classics being a great addition to classrooms. The art was well done and expressive, I definitely want to read more Manga Classics.

I love Anne of Green Gables and any adaptation, and I love manga, so I would probably love this. Unfortunately, the file I can download from NetGalley is blurry :(

What a wonderful adaptation! Tragically delightful! I love the renewed focus on self-fulfillment, found family, and friendship, aka kindred spirits. Somehow the visual format added just an extra something special to an already classic (and for me nostalgic) tale. Profoundly scrumptious.

The storyline is typical of the classic, no surprises, which I loved because I read the classics with my mom as a child and it brings back fond memories. It is beautifully retro-fitted with manga artwork throughout. This would be great for anyone who doesn't love the classics or finds it difficult to understand because the pictures help you follow the storyline. I have a lot of students that LOVE manga and this is perfect to get them interested in what kids these days consider to be an otherwise typically boring topic!

**The only thing that could make this better is if the pictures were color, but I don't think that is typical of Manga... the artwork is just so beautiful that color would really take it to a whole other level**

Anne of Green Gables is the book that I remember getting me into reading as a kid. I loved it and went on to read the series. Later I watched the movies. I have recommended it to my daughter many times. I even watched the latest television adaptation on Netflix and couple of years ago. I don't think I'll ever not have a spot in my heart of this story. I've tried Manga Classics before and had a good experience so when I saw they had Anne of Green Gables, I had to read it. I think they did a wonderful job of turning this into a manga. They pretty much stuck with the storyline. It still made me emotional. The artwork really brought it life. I hope it opens this story up to a whole new group who wouldn't have read the story otherwise. I enjoyed the author's explanation of why certain areas were more prominent and what things meant to them personally. I also liked the artist sort of "walking through" the drawing of the characters. If you like Anne's books or movies, classics, comics or manga, you should definitely check out this book.
