I have never read Anne of Green Gables, but I have watched the tv programme, and I can honestly say that this manga captured the essence of Anne of Green Gables completely. The poetic style of writing from the original text bleeds beautifully into the style of artwork depicted in this manga. My only constructive criticism I suppose is that the scenes in the manga really jump from one time period to the other, and that can feel somewhat jarring at times, but other than that, I would completely recommend this book!

This Manga Classics adaptation of Anne of Green Gables is a very accessible way of getting into this classic! The art style is very cute, and the characters show a wide range of expressions. The text is true to the original novel, so you will not have to worry about any big changes from novel to graphic novel format. This version did tend to condense certain chapters into single pages, which feels a bit rushed but understandable due to the constraints of the format. A few chapters were also removed completely, although they did not add a lot to the story, it is important to mention this does not contain all the chapters the novel does. Overall, this is a magnificent adaptation to the novel and would be great for both old fans of the book and those interested in reading it their first time!

A great adaptation of a classic I enjoyed with my mom growing up.! The art captured the spirit of Anne perfectly. I am very glad I had the opportunity to read this adaptation and would recommend this to any fan of manga or L.M. Montgomery.

This was a fantastic adaptation - the shoujo style is so well fit for Anne and her puffed sleeves! I only wish it was longer! Any fan of Anne will feel at home here. Thank you to Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Delightful. Followed the story beautifully. Easy to read. Good illustrations. I liked seeing it play out in manga form. I enjoyed it!

I absolutely loved this! Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite classics and I really enjoyed the manga for it. The art was fantastic.

Thank you Netgalley, Manga Classics Inc. and Crystal S. Chan and Kuma Chan for the opportunity to read this book!

I'm a huge fan of manga and classic books and I really enjoyed reading the tale of Anne of Green Gables in this format, I know many readers may be wary as it is in manga format but it is no less as accurate as the original novel in a way that can easily be marketed towards children and teens. This manga compilation features the accuracy of the original novel with art that is as vibrant and colourful as Green Gables and PEI itself.

This is definitely a must read for fans of Anne of Green Gables!

In exchange for an honest review, I read the e-galley available from Manga Classics (Udon Entertainment).

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite novels of all time, so I was overjoyed to see that it was one of the most recent Manga Classics to be released. I liked how the manga stayed true to the original novel while also understanding that parts of it had to be cut or shortened to fit into this new genre and form of literature. Overall, I think the artist and writer did an excellent job, and as a longtime fan of the original novel, I am excited to add this manga edition to my collection.

I received an ebook version of this Manga Classics edition of Anne of Green Gables from NetGalley. It even has a forward by Kate McDonald Butler- granddaughter of L. M. Montgomery. This is the first Manga book that I have ever read. This one is really cute and features the original heart of Anne of Green Gables. It has some amazing artwork. I will definitely be looking for the physical copy to add to my Anne collection. If you like Anne you will like this edition.

How embarrassing, but I will admit that this is the first that I’ve ever read Anne of Green Gables. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!

Anne is amazing. Free, fun, and lives life to the fullest. This is also the first true Manga that I’ve read, and it was great! The drawings captured the true emotions of the characters.

Now off to read the original version, too.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advance reader copy!

Anne of Green Gables was the series that got me into reading. That being said, this manga had some big shoes to fill. And it delivered.

The art was fantastic. The manga style fits with Anne and her temper and attitude perfectly, while still portraying Marilla, Matthew, and the rest of the town of Avonlea with the properness and poise that they all exude. The only character I didn't visually like was Gilbert Blythe.

The other aspect that I paid close attention to was the accuracy. I know that they have made many adaptations of Anne of Green Gables over the decades. This one was definitely one of the more accurate adaptations. Though I found they skipped a few parts over from the original story, all the character-shaping events for Anne, Diana, and Gilbert (as well as Matthew and Marilla) were all still included.

I highly recommend this manga as an alternative in introducing a new reader to Anne. It was lovely and provided an easier read than the original.

Very cute, I loved the illustrations. I thought it was fairly accurate to the source material. I would love to see more classics reimagined like this.

This Manga adaptation of Anne of Green Gables was a treat. The script was excellent, with many passages coming directly from the book or adapted from the book. All of the main scenes were there, though of course some scenes were omitted as a graphic novel is necessarily an abridged version. Although a number of Anne's schoolfriends were mentioned, the focus was more on her relationship with her best friend Diana and her rivalry with Gilbert. Her growing and changing relationship with Marilla and Matthew is also well done.

The art was really good. The only thing I found a bit disconcerting was that every now and then, the eyes of the characters would be drawn as either hollow circles or completely black circles, and occasionally the mouth would be drawn almost like a ventriloquist's dummy's mouth. These were usually at times of high emotion, so that might be a Manga thing, but I found that a little creepy. The images were usually beautiful. As it's Manga, the pages are also read right to left. This usually wasn't a problem, but once in a while I forgot to do that.

There were a few pages at the end where the scriptwriter gave some insights into how this book came about and how she worked together with the artist. I always like a 'behind the scenes' look, so that was interesting.

If you like Anne of Green Gables, you should enjoy this adaptation. It's a good heart-warming story suitable for all ages. I'll have to check out other books in the Manga Classics series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free digital edition in exchange for an honest review.

Anne of Green Gables is a story about Anne, a young orphan girl that is adopted by siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. This manga follows Anne, who learns how to be a part of a family and how to make friends.

The tale of Anne of Green Gables is classic and beautiful. There have been countless adaptations of this story, whether it is through films or novels that are well known and extremely well portrayed. This manga is no exception. The art work is amazing and I felt that it truly expressed the characters. Anne, specifically, was captured in her true nature. Her "kindred spirit" was shown in its full glory, making this manga one of my favorite adaptations of the original story. I would love to see more of Anne's story through these author's eyes!

This book was a delightful read. The story and the art work were wonderful. My daughter sat down and read the whole book in one sitting. I highly recommend this version of a much loved classic. Whether you like manga, graphic novels, or haven’t tried them, this book will be worth your time.

I have to say when I saw that Anne Of Green Gables was made into a Manga. I got very excited cause Anne Of Green Gables one my favorite classic from my childhood. If you haven't read Anne Of Green Gables you need to. It's thebest book you will ever read. It follows the life of Anne orphaned when she was very smalls. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert had asked for a boy to help Matthew around at Green Gables. But they got Anne instead and Matthew grew to love Anne and let Marilla know that they should keep her. Little did Marilla know that she to would love Anne. So they kept her and havent regreted it at all. I will do a more indepth review on my booktube channel at the end of the month with my monthly wrap up. I highly recommend this manga and I will be getting it in a physical copy cause thats how much I loved it.

This is a faithful adaptation of the classic Anne of Green Gables story, presented in traditional manga format.
Being a traditional manga, the pages must be read right-left, which takes some getting used to fof western readers (I was expecting a graphic novel format), and while the majority of the illustrations were beautifully rendered there were some that I found particularly jarring.

Fans of both manga and the classic tale will enjoy this book, but it wasn't for me.

*Many thanks to Netgalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Me siento algo decepcionada como fan de anne of green gables esperaba más, las ilustracioens fueron bellas, sí, pero las partes que escogieron del libro me parecen aburridas, tardé en terminarlo y eso es extraño porque soy fan del libro, al principio pensé que quizá se debía a que había leído el libro y otras adaptaciones antes y quizá perdió la magia, pero releí la novela gráfica y la disfrute más. Fue buena pero pudo ser mejor

A delightful and succinct adaptation of the classic in a popular modern format. Will be adding this to our collection which already includes the Manga Scarlet Letter adaptation.

wow! i have to admit i haven’t read the classic of it, but this was done beautifully! and the illustrations captures emotions and personalities really well. such a fun easy read.
