Wow! what a read!

Set in the countryside of 17th century, this Manga Classic is beautifully executed.

The Dashwood sisters - Elinor and Marianne are like two opposite faces of the same coin. Elinor Dashwood is reserved, composed and cautious while the younger sister Marianne is expressive, emotional and volatile. Nonetheless, they both share a strong bond and deep affection for each other. Their bond strengthens further as the story advances especially when they both suffer from heartbreak.

Elinor fell in love with Edward Ferrars but she kept her feelings hidden that even Edward was doubtful of her feelings towards him. Marianne fell for the handsome Mr. Willoughby and the whole town chattered about them. Both extreme in their nature, the sisters finally learned to balance between sense and sensibility in the end.

What I loved the Most!
The artists have done really good research on every single detail of the story. From characters to the fashion of that era. The flowing gowns and bonnets. The detailing of the traditional furniture. Beautiful carriages.

Absolutely incredible!
I loved reading this Manga Classic so much.


I received an ARC of this book from Udon Entertainment via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting premise for an old classic. Good pictures and followed story. If you like comic book style this could be for you to read classics.

I don't know how is the original novel but this manga I felt it a little dramatic and a little boring at some parts. Second the male characters seemed to me to be a little feminine but it was pleasant I may say.

So far, I think this is my least favorite of these Manga Classics. I still loved the way the story was told and I still loved the art work. The story itself, just wasn't for me. What I really really loved, though, was the relationship between the two sisters, I think that that was pretty much my favorite thing about the whole story.

I have the actual book in my book shelve, maybe reading the story more in depth will be different. I'm not sure.
