This is a great adaptation that stayed true to the original. The artwork is really cute and I really enjoyed rereading this story.

Listen. I know there is a book out there, I know of at least two shows that are out there. But I have never seen or read anything about Anne of Green Gables. So this was my introduction.

I wasn't that into it at the beginning. Anne is one of those people that I just hate in real life, cause this girl keeps on talking and talking. But she really grew on me. I truly love her story. I love the different relationships she had.

When I finished the Manga, I needed more. I really, really, REALLY need to read the books, or watch the show. I just need more Anne in my life.

Also the artwork was once again super stunning. I just love these Manga Classics.

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite series of all times so I will take in any format - the original books, the 80's movies, the netflix series and, apparently, the manga adaptation as well.
I had never read a manga before but I will definitely repeat the experience. The drawings were beautiful and captivated Anne's essence perfectly, as did the dialogue.

Anne of Green Gables is a timeless classic. This manga version tells the tale of Anne, with an e, Shirley and all the fun and trouble she gets into when she is sent to Green Gables to live with Mathew and Marilla Cuthburt.
Anne is an orphan girl, but the Cuthburt’s thought they were getting a boy to help with the farm work. They decide to keep and raise Anne. Anne has bright red hair which gets her into trouble at times. She also has a big imagination and just as big of a temper.
The authors do a great job of converting this classic tale into the manga format. Great for kids who have trouble with regular books. Highly recommend for any fans of Anne of Green Gables.
Thank you to NetGalley and Manga classics for this arc.

This manga was a lot of fun. I think the Manga Classics is a really great way to get people involved in classic novels who otherwise wouldn't be interested in reading them. I'm a big fan of Anne of Green Gables and the story is very close to my heart so this truly was a fun read. I found it a lot slower than other manga but I suppose that's to be expected in an adaptation like this, but is something to keep in mind if you're reading it. It really was a cute way to read the story and the art was beautiful. if you are curious about the story but not interested in reading the original novel (although I encourage everyone to read it)!

This was adorable. Very similar to the actual show, at least for the first bit. It does diverge a little after that, but I honestly wasn’t expecting to almost cry at the end there. Also enemies to friends is just perfection 🙌🏼

I was curious about Manga Classics, so I picked up one that I’ve read in prose format and one that I haven’t. This is the one where I’d read the original before, although probably 20 years ago. I think it’s a great adaptation — it’s amazing how they can use much of what I assume/think is the original text, but just cutting it up into digestible pieces and adding the images makes it so much more accessible. My only complaint is that some of the shorter chapters (or ones that they’ve made short for this adaptation) are just a page, and it feels a bit jarring when it goes off in another direction immediately afterwards; I can see some kids/teens used to intense action finding the slice of life style a bit dull.

All that said, this is delightful, especially the early parts. Anne is a perfect candidate for being manga-fied — her wholesome melodrama translates really well. She’s always throwing herself down on a table and sobbing or shouting about how beautiful something is. Some of the things that as a kid I admired about Anne (yelling “I hate you!” at a friend of the family who says she’s ugly) seem like a bit much now, but overall she’s very endearing. Also, Anne + Diana 4ever.

Anne Shirley, a precocious orphan girl, was sent to the Cuthberts’ home of Green Gables by accident. the Cuthberts, siblings Marilla and Matthew were hoping to adopt a boy to help around the farm, but they got Anne instead, a girl full of imagination and spunk. After hearing of the life she could have if adopted by another family, Marilla decides to let Anne stay. Anne starts at school and befriends a neighbor girl named Diana, and even has her own enemy in Gilbert Blythe. Anne tries exceptionally hard to make Marilla happy, despite her lack of proper upbringing. She also grows close to Matthew, who likes her imaginative stories very much.

This seems very much like a faithful adaptation, but I cannot say for certain, having never read the original storyline. Admittedly, the story was not as intriguing to me as other titles I've read this year, but this story continues to resonate with audiences well after its original publication. The Manga Classics line is a great way to introduce or bridge manga readers into prose novels, or, at the very least, provide exposure to classic storylines in a familiar format.

Kuma Chan's illustrations employ all the familiar tenets of the manga genre, and in doing so, create a fairly beautiful, often cute version of Anne. She often professes to be quite plain, and she absolutely hates her red hair, but her illustrated version is adorable, so it's hard to take her complaints seriously.

This was such a cute adaption! The art style was lovely and the plot didn’t differ much from the original.
A great way to enjoy a classic!

This I just as lovely as teh rest of the Manga Classics. I really like how these editions break down the story so it is easy to understand.
The author and artists did a great job. I didn't get into the story, but that isn't their fault: I was just bored with the premise.

A great way to enjoy a classic! I loved reading this with my niece and it's a great way to keep their attention while telling the story in a beautiful way.

I tried to read the original Anne of Green Gables twice and it did not get me in the way I was expecting to. It is, in fact, a lovely, deeply emotional, and timeless tale that keeps enchanting people all around the world hundreds of years later of its first publication. So, needless to say, how disappointed I was when I could not hop aboard this train and love Anne Shirley's stories as much as everyone else.
When I saw this cute-looking manga version of the story, I knew I had to try it. If it was enough to win me over then, for sure, it was good. So it did. It blew me away and I am in love with this artistic version of Anne of Green Gables.
The art style is beyond expectations. Sharp and yet very cute traces, perfect when portraiting Anne, Diana, Marilla, and others. The level of detail is amazing and it's the perfect touch for such a classic children's book.
As for the literary content, it was adapted almost word by word. Plotlines were maintained and dialogs were almost all the same as the original piece.
I would recommend it to everyone. First-time readers of Anne, first-time readers of manga (as there is a guide on the first page explaining how to read it), long-time lovers of this story, parents and their children, art teachers and their students. It's a hit and you should not miss it.

I read this manga in one sitting. It's so good that I couldn't put my phone down. And as soon as I finished reading it, I googled Manga Classics!

P.S.--I really enjoyed reading the endnotes about the aditing choices.

Quite a beautiful Manga adaptation.

I loved the narration and artistic style. The book has done justice L.M.Montgomery's Original issue.
The artwork is beautiful and detailed.

I love Anne of Green Gables! Even though I haven’t actually read the original novel. But i love the movie! And now I love this manga classic edition! I love that these editions give you the classic in a shortened version, but give it life and vividness with pictures alongside the dialogue and occasional narrative.

This edition of Anne was beautiful and sweet. I loved the interpretations the artist did of the characters, and I just love the anime/manga style.

Now I just need to get the physical edition so I can appreciate the art even more, since viewing it on a small screen does not do the art justice.

Anne of the Green Gables manga holds all the richness and original magic from the TV adaption and novel. It was a fun read, and although the story itself glanced over a few pivotal moments of Anne's character development, I still think that the author and artists did a fantastic job transferring the story over into another platform. I did however want more of Anne and Gilbert's story to be told; it seems as though Anne learned more through that friendship/love interest than she did with other relationships. All in all the story and characters were heartwarming and the ending left on a good note. I give it 5 stars! Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read and review this manga!

My Thoughts 💭
Anne of Green Gables without all the early 20th century filler. I swear if Manga Classics were around when I was trying to learn Shakespeare in English, I would love classics.

In the original Anne of Green Gables, I saw Anne was a precious bean who need to be protected at all cost. Now, I see Anne as a precious cinnamon roll who needs to be protected AT ALL COST. I swear the manga style was made for Anne's character with the impromptu outbursts, fanciful rambling, and all her dramatics. And the shenanigans! Oh, the wonderful shenanigans Anne pulls with everyone in her little town. They alway keep me on my toes and put a smile on face.

The real kicker: The manga cuts out all the 20th century flowery yawn-inducing writing filler that the book had and skips to the good stuff.

Recommendation 👍
Highly recommend for any manga classic fans out there.

Manga Classics has made another winner. Anne of Green Gables is such a perfect addition to this manga series. The art-style is a perfect representation of Anne. It’s light, airy, whimsical just like Anne. The art is well-drawn and a joy to look at. The character art is definitely a stand-out, although I wish the background art was a little more detailed (as in buildings and inside rooms).

If you are a fan of Anne of Green Gables, either the book series, the movies, or the Netflix series, then I’m certain you’ll enjoy this manga. I think this is a really accessible story for most ages as are many of the other stories in the Manga Classics series.

I thought this was a sweet retelling of Anne of Green Gables. The art is wonderful, and manages to convey the wonder of the story through art and dialog. I think this will introduce many new readers to this wonderful classic.

Here we are, back again with another Manga Classic! All throughout the end of last year and beginning of this year, I couldn’t help but devour every Manga Classic that NetGalley had to offer, and even discovered some new favorite classics! (The Count of Monte Cristo, anyone?)
Anne of Green Gables is one of those books I read a lot when I was younger. I found I could really connect with the character of Anne, especially since she loved to write, and all the other books I would read, none of the characters were into writing. Anne made me feel special and helped me embrace my overactive imagination.

Manga Classics once again does an excellent job adapting the book! I appreciate the level of research and care that they put into turning Anne’s story into a graphic novel. The illustrations of Anne perfectly captured her wild innocence and the imagination everyone knows her for. It was also amazing how they put so much research into designing the house so that they could get Green Gables just right.

I could go on and on all day about the small details, but I’ll just say that I really enjoyed it and was glad to see one of my favorite classics adapted!
