If you have ever watched the Netflix show ‘Anne with an “E”’ or love ‘Anne of Green Gables’ in general you will love this manga adaptation. It was a heartwarming and fun read. Anne’s story is one that has been beloved for generations.

Being an orphan and looking different from others around you while simultaneously being the brightest spot in every room is so beautiful. Anne is also brimming with imagination and ideas and while that is something many try to discourage, we see in this story that it is instead something to celebrate.

This faithful adaption is one I recommend to anyone. It’s beautifully drawn and it successfully transforms Anne’s story into art. I loved it from beginning to end.

This was such a fun read and a new way to enjoy the classic story of Anne of Green Gables! I enjoyed everything from the art style to the story line. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much is how rushed parts of it felt. I haven't read the original story in a long time but I wish parts would have been lengthened with more detail. Other than that this was a great read and I am very grateful to have been gifted a digital copy!

i really enjoyed this adaptation!!

the art is really nice & captures the story wonderfully.

it's really nice to see how well the story translated into manga.

As a longtime fan of the Anne of Green Gables series, Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables hit all of the right notes.

All your favorite scenes are there, including Anne & Gilbert's rivalry, Diana getting drunk, Anne saving little Minnie May from croup, and Anne meeting Diana's Aunt Josephine. The way that Crystal and Kuma worked together to create this vibrant retelling of a classic book we all know and love is just incredible. The illustrations depict the characters just as you imagine them, and the expressions are spot-on. You are truly immersed in the manga, just as you would be in the original novel.

My only critique is regarding some of the abrupt shifts and "mini" chapters that were in the manga. The first and last thirds of the book were incredible and flowed perfectly, but the middle third got a bit choppy in some areas. I'm sure this is likely due to page constraints, but I wish some of these "mini" chapters were included as "bonus chapters" rather than inserted abruptly into the story, as that's what they felt like when reading them since some were only a page or two long.

Overall, I can't recommend this adaptation enough. I feel like it would be the perfect way to introduce the novels to younger readers.

Thank you to NetGalley, Crystal S. Chan, Kuma Chan, and Manga Classics Inc. for providing me with an advanced reader's copy to review.

I have liked the story of Anne of Green Gables since teenage years and yeah that was some time ago, I mean it is a classic! And everyone should read this tale!

Anne Of Green Gables is a story of an eleven year old girl who learns to love, be loved and have an family. This is also a story of parenthood, life and friendship.

The manga adaption is adorable and I wished I had it in physical form... I also like that the Manga was so expressive and stayed true to the original novel.

Thank you NetGalley!

I always loved the books about Anne, so I HAD to read this! And what else to say than that it was such a delight. The artwork is beautiful! And even though they had to cut a lot due to the average length of a manga book, the important story was there. Especially the beginning was very detailed so readers can get into it. To the end it was quite cut short, to my mind a bit too much cut, so it seemed like "oh no, we only have 10 pages and have story of 50 pages left to tell". Oh, and I didn't like the way the artist drew the eyes when characters were surprised (edit: that was too often and didn't really fit in the beautiful artwork), that was a pity... Bit all in all I loved it, author and artist did a great job!!

A lovely coming of age story, and a lovely adaptation of the tale. I haven't read the original material, so I can't speak to how well it is taken from the original novel to the current work, but I would love to see the rest of the series adapted as well. This variation allowed me to read a book I had been struggling to get into as a normal novel, and I think I will go back to the standard novel to read the tale and the rest of Anne's life.

The art was lovely and fit the tale well.

This adaptation was delightful. It brought the story to life. I enjoyed the artwork so much. And the events were so vivid with the ability to see into the characters thoughts. It has made me want to watch the screen adaptation and encouraged me to pick up more manga classics.

Thanks Netgalley for the early ARC!

I've always loved the "Anne of Green Gables" books and this was an enchanting way to be reintroduced to the story in a new format. I liked the art and character design, though I felt disappointed the art did not include more of the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island.

Highly recommend this manga to anyone looking for a way to introduce this novel to their child or teenager, who tends to prefer manga and conduct to full novels.

honestly for me, the manga classics dont disappoint. its really a good way to get young readers into the classics without forcing them to read through the dry prose of the era

I have been a big fan of Anne of Green Gables for years. This adaptation solidified by love for Anne as a main character in new ways. The illustrations make Anne relevant and accessible to young audiences today. If you are an educator who is looking for ways to engage young readers who need visual signifiers of progress or are intimidated by books with more words than they are used to, then this is a good alternative to get them hooked on reading,

Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables is beautifully illustrated and tells the original story. This would be an excellent way to share a classic with reluctant readers.

Doing classics as a manga series is a fun idea. I thought I would be more into it but I just couldn't get into the story. The art style wasn't bad just hard to wrap my head around seeing the story this way

This is a review for the manga version of the graphic novel, Anne of green gables, written by L.M. Montgomery with illustrations by Crystal S Chan and Kuma Chan.

The story is the same, about the feisty orphan girl, Anne, who makes her way in an inhospitable environment with people disapproving her at every step. She has only a few admirers but she needs to stand up for herself each time she faces a set back.

This manga edition brings the story to life. You can speed read it faster than the written version. It faithfully captures the essence of the book and I love the art work. It would have been great in a coloured version but otherwise I had a great time reading.

I have always loved anything related to Anne of Green Gables so it was no surprise I would love this too. Loved the artwork and the character designs!

I need to read the classic in its classical format now, but I think this manga managed to capture its magic nonetheless (and I am saying this based on my love for the TV series adaptation, which I hope is pretty close to the original source material).

I laughed a lot, I teared up a bit, and I wanted more more more! A brilliant adaptation, a brilliant story. So sweet and heartwarming, although sad at times, but that only adds to its charm. It's realistic but at the same time hopeful and it really spreads that hope around.

really think that these Manga's of classic stories are a really good way to bring these stories to life for a newer audience. The art and new spin on these short stories really put them in a new perspective as you can see what is going on in the story.

Lovely adaptation! The artwork was phenomenal and it depicted the classic story well. Will read more.

This was nice in a way, but I felt it did not capture the feeling of the original book.
I also found the drawings a bit lacking, especially the eyes did not work for me. I would also appreciate a bit more detail in the scenes

Absolutely loved this book. Matthew was my favourite, for sure. I’ve been really enjoying these manga classics.
