Rating: 4.8


"You are not the last man I could ever marry, but the only one. Indeed, I am ashamed of what I said then, for I was more wrong than I have ever been in all my life."

"Then do me the honour of becoming my wife!"


 
Experience the classic Austen tale like never before! 

I am a devoted Pride and Prejudice fan. I also love reading manga any chance I get. So when I discovered that someone has combined the two, I was over the moon with happiness. 

How could it get any better than this?!

Manga Classics has created a fun and engaging adaption of Austen's novel. This adaptation is includes:

#1: An extremely dashing Mr. Darcy (whose hair is simply amazing)
         

Look at that hair...just look at it!! It's like a living entity on the top of his head XD

#2: Bingley trying very hard to get Jane to notice him (with Elizabeth getting in the way!)

Poor Bingley!

#3: Elizabeth's priceless 'I am not amused' face during Darcy's failed proposal:

Proof that Darcy should have taken the Proposal Writing 101 class.

#4: A hysterical Mrs. Bennet

Mrs Bennet tries out for the brand new TV show 'Housewives of Regency' ;)

#5: The Bennet's comedic reaction to Mr. Collin's arrival (& Mr. Collin's hair curl) 

Mr. Collins - the life of every party!

The graphic novel is filled with so many hilarious and imaginative takes on Pride and Prejudice's plot and characters. I highly recommend it to all Jane Austen and manga fans alike.


**A big thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review such an entertaining book.**
