I love this manga has is a great way to enjoy the classics. It's 319 pages and the episodes all well-balanced. As a manga reader, I love the design of the panels and the expressions of the characters reacting.

The original Anne of Green Gables is a book that I couldn't fully enjoy until I was an adult, but I absolutely loved it once I read it. In fact, it's one of my favorite books now, so of course I have high expectations of any adaptation. The Manga Classics version of Anne of Green Gables by Crystal S. Chan and Kuma Chan has met and exceeded my expectations!

Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables sticks fairly close to the original novel in terms of character development, location, and timeline. The illustrations do a fantastic job of capturing the characters' personalities and relationships and also stick with the original description of the characters' appearances. I felt the same connection with the characters that I felt when I enjoyed the original novel and it was fun seeing how the artist chose to portray certain memorable scenes...some were exactly how I imagined and some were a little different.

One amazing addition to the manga adaptation is the bonus content at the end of the book. There is additional information about the importance of the Green Gables house design as well as information about how the adaptation was created with emphasis on specific topics. There's also a sketchbook that includes character design sketches and cover design layouts.

I believe that making this classic book available in manga format will make it more accessible to readers that may be intimidated or put-off by the original novel. I highly recommend this book for libraries that serve middle school and high school students. I plan on adding it to my own school library and will make displays where I can feature this book alongside the novel series in order to encourage students to read both formats of the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Manga Classics Inc for the opportunity to review this title.

We loved the original story of Anne of Green Gables (because who doesn’t, right?), but this is beyond amazing – the manga drawings are fun! The drawings here really take the story to the next level. The text captions are really well picked out, and it really feels like the story is good – unlike some graphic novel adaptations where it feels like the story has been made short, too simple, and bland. Beautiful, this is truly beautiful.

Anne is an orphan girl who has always wanted to find her forever home. When she finally thinks she’s found a place to belong, she instead finds out that the Cuthberts wanted a boy. But thanks to Anne’s spirit, imagination, and heart, the Cuthberts find themselves falling in love with this young red-headed girl.

This was a great adaptation of this story, which has always been one of my favorite books since I was little. It stayed true to the original story and feelings of the story and makes this tale accessible to a much wider range of people. I think it would be great for middle schools to have a set of these manga classics for younger readers to be introduced to these classic tales.

The manga style itself was cute and easy to read, making this a gem of a book. My thanks to NetGalley and Manga Classics for allowing me to read and review this work.

This was a refreshing avenue to entice another generation with a classic tale of friendship, family, and heart.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

this is just as good as the original. its a fun and light way to enjoy a classic middle grade book! i highly recommend giving this a try if your curious about it! i give this 5 out of 5 stars for sure!!!

Anne of Green Gables has been one of my favourite books since I was a kid, so when I had the opportunity to read the manga adaptation, I was stoked!

There is so much respect paid to the source material in this adaptation. Everything from how to was scripted to the character design was meticulously plotted out, and with a lot of love put in! I'm left with a warm, cozy, nostalgic feeling, and I can't wait to read more adaptations from this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Udon Entertainment for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book for a honest review!

Adorable and I loved the illustrations. And very whimsical .

Manga + Classics = Perfect read!

I gained smiles and tears from this gorgeous manga adaptation of the beloved Anne's story. Anne's and Gilbert's character designs are so adorable. I loved the characters' vibrant expressions and art style. Five stars!

Thank you so much, NetGalley and Udon Entertainment, for this wonderful ebook.

Thank you to Manga Classics and to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Anne of Green Gables has always been a favorite book of mine. It is a book that was read to me as a child, and I have read it many times as an adult.

I saw this book on NetGalley and I really wanted to check it out. This book did not disappoint me at all. I am not a big Manga fan, however I thought the illustrations were beautiful. This is a really a neat way to introduce young people to classic books. I really liked this one.

This has been such a cute version to read the story of Anne of Green Gables. I love the book and the story by Lucy M. Montgomery in all the version that already exist, so I was so happy and thankful to get to read this Manga version of it.
I loved the drawing style, it reminded me so much of the mangas I've read when I was younger and it just made me happy to read it. Thank you so much for providing this review copy!
It is also such a good way to get people into the story of little Anne, because reading a manga is often easier to start than a book. The only thing that I personally didn't like that much were Matthew's eyes, because they were sometimes just pitch-black and that confused me a little, but it was still such a good manga!

I wanted to see this adaptation, but it never loaded. I have always been a huge fan of Anne and her antics. I applaud an effort to gain a new fanbase by creating the story in a new medium for a new crowd. I’m granting this an honorary 4 stars, in hopes that it attracts new readers.

The medium of manga amplifies Anne’s spirit and vivacity. Everyone is so expressive and the panels move with such ease and care, much like the source material. This is such a great adaptation. I loved it. I want to have a copy to sit on my shelf next to my special print edition.

Anne of Green Gables is on of my favorite children's classics and I feel like the manga did such a great job of depicting the story into a graphic novel format.

This manga tells the story of a young orphan girl being adopted into a family that didn't necessarily initially want her (they had asked for a young boy). However, over time and many heartwarming interactions we get to see the family grow into a very loving one -despite not being blood.

Anne Shirley is also one of my favorite characters from literature. I relate to her a lot with the imagination and childhood and I love watching her grow.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to consume a classic but not necessarily read a novel, anyone who loves Anne of Green Gables and wants more content, or anyone who is curious about the story. I would also definitely recommend this as a family book or for young girls!

Beautiful illustrations! Love how the artist captures Anne's wittiness and chattiness all throughout the book.

Rediscovering this classic in a different format/medium was quite the fun experience. The manga version of Anne of Green Gables is a great way to reach a new wider and younger audience. Because of the low resolution of the Netgalley file, it wasn’t very ideal to read it; a physical book would’ve been better. But the final ebook version will be high resolution, so don’t hesitate to give it a go. As for the visuals, the overall aesthetics was really nice and original.

For those who might find the original medium too overwhelming at first glance (or who might want to experience something new and different), the manga storystelling version offers a very interesting introduction to the classic piece of literature and could help build the confidence required to move on to the actual (more wordy) novel.

Si ya de por sí me gustaba la historia original, leerla en formato de manga fue lo mejor de mi existencia.

La historia es exactamente igual. Seguimos a Anne Shirley quien es, por error, adoptada por un par de hermanos de Tejas Verdes: Marilla & Matthew.

A lo largo de toda la historia, iremos viendo cómo Anne se integra en el pueblo, cómo es víctima de prejuicios y los suyos propios cuáles son.

También, creará un vínculo envidiable con su mejor amiga Diana, con quien vivirá increíbles aventuras y otros sucesos no tan agradables.

Y conocerá al insoportablemente adorable, Gilbert Blythe.

Tener todas las imágenes describiendo cada evento de la historia fue una experiencia hermosa. Ahora necesito leerlo absolutamente todos los clásicos de esta manera 🥰

First of all, thank you so much to Netgalley and Manga Classics for sending me a digital copy in exchange for a review!

This is one of those books that I was thoroughly excited to pick up and read. I loved Manga Classics' Pride and Prejudice (I mean talk about the art style and the accessibility of the story!!) so I was absolutely eager to see how the publishers adapted one of my favorite books into a manga.

AND of course, I was not disappointed. This edition stayed true to the story, and I was so pleased that they included the parts in which Anne learns to pray and receives puffed sleeves--as these were a few of the heartwarming moments in the original story for me. I also enjoyed the typical manga facial expressions which I felt added some sense of humour. I definitely enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see a different format of their favourite story! <3

I really enjoyed this! I have the original version already and I loved the manga version. It's so accessible and I think people who haven't been introduced to the classics yet would benefit from reading them in this format. I think it's a beautiful story and I enjoyed the art very much.

This manga adaptation of Anne of Green Gables is fine. It’s fine. It’s dialogue lifted from the books combined with a waifish yet kawaii Anne doing stock anime reaction faces at Marilla and Matthew, who are generic manga old Europeans and can’t move their faces at all. If some children happen to enjoy this, it’s fine. But it would not be my preferred way to experience this story.
