It's hard not to love Anne of Green Gables. She is wonderful in any form, and Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables is no exception.

It stays true to the original text, and while it doesn't follow it word for word, it does the majority of the time. And I don't expect it to follow the words 100%, because Manga is a different medium than a solely text-based book. The authors of Manga Anne do a really nice job of condensing conversations or situations, when necessary. Anne fans will recognize all the characters they've come to know and love.

My favorite aspect of the illustrations is the background -- the kitchen shelves, Green Gables, the countryside. It's so pretty. I also love how Anne is drawn.

I hope this edition introduces people to Anne, who might not have discovered her before.

I can't say how odd it is to be reading one of my favorite classics as a manga. Things would be going along normally enough and then *ping* a little slice of manga style would just pop up and make me giggle. That said, I did enjoy it. I know that it was pretty long as it is, but I had secretly hoped there would be a little more to some of the scenes. But what was covered was VERY good and quite true to the original.

The art had a little bit of a more cartoon feel to it, until certain facial expressions or reactions were presented and then it screamed manga at you. lol The back drop and scenery were well done and in some cases, absolutely gorgeous. the wood detail and shading; simple yet gorgeous. I found gilbert's face hilarious. He was the most anime looking of them all. Anne's manga hair was pretty on point though.

If you are looking for a way to get a manga lover into some of the classics, this would probably be a way.

This actually the first Manga I have ever read, and when I saw there was an official Anne adaptation, I knew that was where I had to start. I loved that there was a how to read manga guide at the beginning - that was super helpful for a newbie! I also enjoyed the extra materials at the end - blurbs about art, design, characters, focus, important themes, etc. These further explanations for how they adapted the work to the manga format really added to my understanding and appreciation.

As a Prince Edward Islander and someone who has loved Anne all her life, I really enjoyed this manga. The illustrations were beautiful, and the characters and plot stayed true to the original. Everything really came to life on the pages of this manga! The author did a great job of capturing the essence of everything Anne. What a fabulous adaptation!

Anne of Avonlea is back in this manga classic rendering that will delight fans of the original books and movies. As an Anne of Green Gables fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this rendering of the story. The artistry expertly presents emotions that sometimes are not as emphasized through the written word. Each illustration adds another element to the written word that only further enhances someone's enjoyment of Anne's story. This classic will be sure to delight both fans of manga and Ann with an E.

I love Anne and her passion for new things and unlimited imagination. I enjoyed the story so much and I like the blend of story and Manga.

It was a great manga! I’ve been enjoying reading all of these classics retellings as a manga form. Thank you for sending me a electronic copy in exchange for a honest review

This was an interesting adaptation on the story Anne of Green Gables. The artwork throughout the pages did give off a feeling of child-like reminiscence. Maybe this is why I couldn't connect with the story too well. There were also important moments from the original work that felt watered down in this adaptation. However, as a manga of it's own, I can see the appeal it may have on some readers.

As a child I loved Anne of Green Gables and was keen to introduce it to my daughter but she was reluctant to read 'an old book'. She loved the Manga style of this book and really enjoyed reading the story. I think it's an excellent way of telling the story and making it accessible for reluctant readers!

Muchas gracias Netgalley por el envío de una copia avanzada de esta historia a cambio de una reseña honesta.

"Ana de las tejas verdes" siempre será una de mis historias favoritas de la vida. Cuando vi la serie de Netflix dije: "debo leer el libro". Cuando leí el libro dije: "ojalá exista una novela gráfica o un manga de esta historia". Y aquí tuve la oportunidad de disfrutar por tercera vez de esta historia que tanto amo. Me encantó la adaptación, simplemente, maravillosa.

Never saw an episode of Anne of Green Gables or read any page from the original book. But as a manga fan, I could not help myself and started reading this one! I am impressed with how well the story was told through manga-style drawing and now I am totally hooked to read the book!

Anne is a young girl who looks for shelter and honestly, a family that would love her. Her childhood was pretty rough but she keeps trying her best, she always sees the good in other people and never judges. Her imagination, good disposition, and reactions are sometimes sweet, but there were times when I thought that she is too good for the people she met.

Hopefully, everything will settle for little Anne and I cannot wait to start reading the original series.

A fantastic graphic novel that accurately tells the story of Anne of Green Gables. Chan & Chan encapsulate Anne's joy and vivaciousness from the moment she appears on the page. Their drawings cleverly provide excellent context for each and every character and paired with well-considered dialogue provide generous insight into each character in the tale. This is a brilliant adaptation of the classic is a fantastic version for long time Anne fans, as well as newer readers, as it presents all of the best elements of the beloved story of Anne at Green Gables ensuring there will be no 'tragical' disappointment for any readers.

Truly beautiful!

Anne of the Green Gables's maga adaptation is not only accurate, but also it adds a new, heartwarming dimension to the story.

The art style is stunning and the story is extremely easy to follow because of how the panels are organized. The art captures the emotions of the characters perfectly, making it beautiful yet heart wrenching.

This was my first classics to manga adaptation, and I'm looking forward to diving into more of these! They are irresistible.

In addition to this, as an English Language and Literature teacher, I'm planning on incorporating these adaptations into my classes. They have inspired me to write a paper on the benefits of teaching classics through manga.

All in all, the idea of making classics into manga is ingenious.

I absolutely adored this read!! 5/5 if you've been a fan of Anne of green gables or you've become a fan, or have never even heard of this book you will love this story!! It has cottage core and it's about this girl named Anne being adopted by a pair of siblings and growing up in their town and the adventures and friends she meets along this way. This read completely submersed me in the story and I absoloutley fell in love with the way the author portrayed Anne and her story!! Everyone should go read this if they're looking for a nice light fun read!!

Anne of Green Gables is a book I simply adore, good for every ages. This manga adaptation is the same, the art was lovely and the story easy to follow. It did a great job following the original, some chapters shorter than others. I do think it could have spent more time on some parts, especially some secondary characters, but as it was already more than 300 pages, I think it did a good job showing us Anne and her life at Green Gables.

I love the idea of making classics more accessible. This was a great edition that not only explains manga to new readers, but also exposes readers to Anne of Green Gables!

'Anne of Green Gables' is one of my all-time favorite books and I love to read manga. I am always a bit hesitant when I see books get adapted into manga/comic form, but I really enjoyed reading this one. The art work is very good and expressive. 'Anne' is the perfect book for a manga adaption and they did a great job of putting all the most important scenes in it and giving it new life. You can tell everyone involved loved and wanted to share this classic story. It could've easily been a cheap-looking book with mediocre art with no life but it wasn't and I'm very thankful.

What a wonderful take on a Classic Tale. Being from the Maritimes I am very familiar with this story and I loved this retelling!

Story of an 11 y/0 orphan girl who lived with the Cuthbert siblings (who intetionaly wanted a boy to help in the farm). They took pity on her (or maybe was just enchanted by her). Anne was a very open, talkative and mischievous girl. She had a long fight with one of his classmates Gilbert Blythe. Tragedy struck and, she had to change her plans. Gilbert sacrificed a job to help her.

Highly recommend this manga comics, if you can appreciate a simply illustrated story of a young, captivating girl, Anne of Green Gables (in black and white)

This was a very solid retelling of Anne of Green Gables. As a lifelong Anne fan, I was so excited to see this manga adaptation. The artwork was adorable, and I loved the characterization of Anne having giant, dream-filled eyes. Though the manga format was a little difficult for me to get used to at first, but it wasn’t too difficult to get used to it. All in all, I am strongly considering purchasing a physical copy to add to my collection of Anne memorabilia.

A wonderful adaptation of a classic! These manga classics are perfect for middle school students because they make the classics more accessible to students of all ages and abilities.
