The art of adapting any piece of classic literature requires a lot of study and respect for the original work. Oftentimes, during the research and character design there is great debate over certain wording, art shading, and even context or the times in which the story is told.

Adapting works by authors such as Jane Austen requires a lot of concentration on the words and terminology used for those times.
Do they translate for today's language? How do you update the dialog to make it relevant to a new reader? Or, do you even dare?

With each and every Manga Classic, it is our passion and hope that we help the reader connect with the story in a meaningful way. We also feel this is an exciting way to introduce these classic stories to a new reader who may then go back to read the original texts.
We hope you enjoy our work!
