I adore this gorgeous adaption of Jane Eyre. Manga pictures really bring out the poignant scenes and make it more emotional to me. I adore these illustrations so much. I especially love this making it more friendly for children and young readers, so my children can read the classics in a way that feels more natural to their interests in reading.

Jane Eyre I read back in high school and at first I didn’t understand it. So I sat in it for a month and then read it again and fell in love. The writing is amazing and Brontë’s work is just pure perfection.

What a great way to engage students in the classics. I wish this format had been available when I was a high school and college student. Reading the classics is hard especially when you do not have a teacher to guide you through the language and the time period nuances.

A wonderful rendition of a tale as old as time. I really enjoyed this retelling of Jane Eyre! Sometimes having an illustrated edition makes for an even better experience!

A wonderful adaptation of the classic: Jane Eyre with wonderful illustrations by Manga Classics. They adapted the story plot in such a way that it is very easy to follow and understand. But the book takes the reader through an emotional rollercoaster which went missing in manga adaption.

I would like to thank you for the ARC of this book which the publisher kindly provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Manga Classics: Jane Eyre" offers a unique and captivating adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's beloved classic. With its stunning manga-style artwork and condensed storytelling, this manga adaptation brings a fresh and visually engaging experience to readers.

This is a story I really like, so seeing it in Manga format was super interesting. I think the best part of the illustrations were the way the facial expressions were captured. There were so many different facial expressions with seemingly so little difference, that we could very easily tell which character was who.

I’ve never been able to make it through Jane Eyre, but this condensed manga adaptation made it a quick and interesting read!

*Thank you for the ARC!! All opinions are completely my own.**

4 stars. Well-illustrated manga version of a classic. HOWEVER, it is formatted incorrectly, as in the first few pages start off with the END of the book. Therefore you will need to start within the ARC at the very last page.

If you are a fan of the classics, and you are trying to get your children to read them, but in a way that they will understand I definitely recommend this book and any book that is a classic that has been turned into a manga. My students in middle school absolutely loved these books! I cannot tell you how many students would read these books!

Jane Eyre as the title suggests is the story of a woman named Jane Eyre, who is an orphan ostracized by her aunt and cousins . Later, she is sent to Lowood school for girls where she takes life's choices into her own hands. What happens later forms the crux of the story.
Since this was a manga adaptation , it was pretty easy to read. The characterisation of Jane is that of a very normal girl, not the regular main character you would see in the era when Charlotte Bronte had written the same. The fact I loved about her is how she is fierce and how she takes life changing decisions for herself, given the political and social scenario of that time. The male main character Mr Rochwood, has been created showcasing his vulnerability , which is a rare find , even in today's literature. It is a pretty fast paced read and story to me felt like a typical movie, maybe because this piece of literature must have been heavily adaptated. There were many coincidences for conveniently landing on the perfect ending though; yet this is fine story

I feel that this is one of Manga Classics' more ambitious undertakings, and given both the scope and style of what it is adapting, I'm not sure that a better job could be done, at least not without significantly increasing the length of the adaptation. So, my four star rating is perhaps a bit unfair as it measures against a hypothetical and nonexistent standard,

The primary failing of this adaptation is in the inherent nature of the graphic novel itself. Similar to the case with the Edgar Allan Poe stories' adaptation, much of the reader's own psychological possibilities are removed because the imagery is established. Because so much of the power in Jane Eyre comes from the intimate first person narrative and what the reader imagines from it, dictating what appears in the reader's mind's eye lessens the impact of the work.

I think that this MC is still valuable in making these classics more accessible to a wider audience. Picking up any classic can be very intimidating, and it can definitely be a chore to trudge through. If nothing else, this MC makes something that can be difficult to finish more approachable.

A manga adaptation of one of the greatest works of English literature is surprisingly good. The illustrations are beautiful They may have made Jane and Rochester a little too good looking is my only complaint, This is a fun way to read a classic.

This is my second manga classic, and like before the art is gorgeous. It was so nice to see the grandeur of Thornfield, the skimpy conditions of Lowood, and the cold reception at Gateshead.

Of course this is an adaptation, so there's much of the story left out, but the main points are covered very well to give you a good understanding of the story. I'm excited to read the book again! This was an excellent teaser to get me interested.

One complaint I do have is the formatting. In my first manga classic read, Anne of Green Gables, had the instructions of how to read the panels, and to read the pages right to left. However, the ebook started at the front (left) of the book and read like normal. For Jane Eyre, you did have to scroll to the end and read right to left. I'm sure this will be fixed at publishing, but it would be nice if all manga classics followed the same format so you knew what you were getting and could jump right in. I'm curious to try another and see what format it follows!

Classic story in 19th era, when woman have limit option, man married for drowny, forbidden love between master and governess. Jane deserve happiness after what she going through. I glad she clear the air with her aunt, i glad she finally accept Edward love, i glad she receive fortune.

Thank you to NetGalley for provide this book, it is pleasure to review this book.

Reading this classic tale was on my 2023 reading list and this version definitely made the experience even more enjoyable! The art is wonderful and made the story easy to read through. I would definitely recommend if you have been wanting to venture into the classics but the stories alone seem intimidating.

Jane Eyre is a literary classic that I have loved since I was a young child along with books like Little Women, Pride and Prejudice and Les Misérables. I have always been interested and have enjoyed reading new interpretations of these stories visualized through different authors. It is always extremely interesting to see how authors and in this case artists stay true to the original story while making sure that it also fits into the new format.
Manga is a very specific style of art and I enjoyed seeing how the artist interpreted the characters descriptions from the book into a visual format. This book and all the other books I have read from Manga Classics have all done a wonderful job adapting the story into a new format while still remaining true to the original. If you like reading manga, I recommend this book,. If you like the original Jane Eyre, this is a wonderful interpretation and if you want to get into either the classics or into manga, this is a wonderful bridge between the two.

Having previously enjoyed another book in this series, and having loved the story of Jane Eyre for many years, it's of no surprise to me that I loved this adaptation.

These Manga adaptations are immensely readable. They convey the bulk of the story (though I will note that a few of the exquisite details from the book are sadly, if understandably, missing) and remove the "classic books are hard to read" factor that put some people off of them. (a quick side note, Jane Eyre is utterly readable even if you generally struggle with classic literature, it's very modern in its writing and pacing).

The drawings are lovely, I really liked the way of dealing with the French dialogue in the book (using double speech bubbles to indicate it), I did like the way 'pretty' vs 'plain' characters were drawn, it was easy to work out where someone's place in society was meant to be.

I'd highly recommend this book, I've added a hard copy to my wishlist!

I received an advance copy for free from NetGalley, on the expectation that I would provide an honest review.

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.

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite classics and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it as a manga. I love the added instructions on how to read, they're super clear and easy to understand. The art is super cute and really adds to the story. I think this will be my new favorite way of reading the classics.
