Manga Monday: Manga Classics: Jane Eyre

I finally read Jane Eyre for the first time this year, so it only seemed natural for me to move forward and read the Manga adaptation as well, while it was fresh in my mind. Needless to say, I loved it! Stacy King and Crystal S. Chan are incredibly talented when it comes to adapting and condensing a classic into a manga version of itself. While I can see the changes they made (it is a requirement when it comes to this sort of adaptation), I don’t feel like there was any loss to the heart or intent of the story, and I found myself enjoying it very much.

Manga Monday: Manga Classics: Sense and Sensibility

I am constantly amazed by Stacy King and Po Tse and the work they put into adapting classic novels into manga. You can really see the dedication and devotion they put towards their works – every adaptation I’ve read still carried the feel of the original novel, with the added beauty of artwork to support it. It truly makes for quite an experience, regardless of whether you’ve previously read the original story.

Manga Monday: Manga Classics: Les Miserables

I’ve read a few of the Manga Classics by now, and I’m still in love with the concept. Translating the classics into manga is a brilliant idea, with an end result of more accessibility and beautiful artwork. It’s a win-win if you ask me. I can’t wait to continue my read through of this gorgeous series!

Throwback Thursday: Jessica Jones Vol. 3: Return of the Purple Man

Return of the Purple Man is the third and final (I believe) volume in the latest run of Jessica Jones. While I am incredibly sad to see it go (it has been fantastic), I am happy with the note they chose to end everything on. It really only seems appropriate that they’d bring the Purple Man back in before another round of goodbyes.

Manga Monday: Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice

I have to admit that I absolutely love the idea of making manga versions of all the classics! It’s so simple yet brilliant! I’m not so secretly hoping to see a Secret Garden one come out next. That would make me the happiest girl in the world!

Manga Monday: Naruto Vol. 1: The Tests of the Ninja

It only seems appropriate to read and review Naruto, considering the release of Boruto Vol. 1. Volume one is the kick-off for a seventy-two volume series, as well as two (successful) TV series. That being said, I've noticed that there are really two categories for how people feel about Naruto: either they utterly hate it, or they are absolutely in love with it. There are very few people in between.

Throwback Thursday: Runaways Vol. 5: Escape to New York

The teenage superheroes are back at it, this time they’re working to reduce crime in New York City. With even more cameos than normal (hello Cloak & Dagger, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine!), this volume is probably the busiest of the bunch.

Review: Fables Vol. 1: Legends in Exile

I have been told time and time again that I need to read Fables, so I finally sat down and read Fables Vol. 1. The first story is pretty interesting, but I’m thinking that either it didn’t quite live up to the hype, or I just need to keep reading. You know what it’s like when a series has been overhyped to you.

Throwback Thursday: Runaways Vol. 4: True Believers

After a brief gap, the Runaways are back for volume four. Because of the events in three (you know, stopping their villain parents from taking over/destroying the world), there’s a massive power vacuum in Los Angeles, and the Runaways are determined to make a difference!

Review: Radiant Black Vol. 1: (Not So) Secret Origin

Radiant Black is another series I’ve been meaning to pick up for years, but hey, at least I’m only like, four or five years behind on this one! But seriously, I’m glad I finally sat down and gave this one a try.
