This is the book that made me the book lover I am today! I found this manga version charming and the artwork really helped tell the story in a way that young readers can appreciate the story. I also appreciated how the book has times where the artwork does the storytelling, there was not a need to use text to cover some of the art, it was enough on its own.

I think this is a great book that can introduce children to some of the classics their parents grew up on.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this lovely book!

Anne of Green Gables has always been a delightful reading experience for me. This version in particular was in the form of classic manga style.

The illustrations were as delightful as the story itself. I loved all the details - Anne's hair, clothes, expressions; and I thought Matthew and Marilla were depicted perfectly. Some of the short manga-style chapters (almost-but-not-quite four-panel style) were surprisingly very impactful and memorable (such as the one with Anne's dyeing her hair green).

I'd never thought I'd need another adaption of Anne of Green Gables, but this one was an unexpected surprise. I flew through the beautiful pages and it was such a joy to experience.

Thanks to netgalley and Manga Classics for granting access to the arc of this evergreen children's classic. This is one of first arcs I received from netgalley and my first Manga.
Synopsis: Mathew Cuthbert and Marilla Cuthbert are siblings, planning to adopt a boy to help in their farm at Green Gables. But, Anne Shirley arrives on the train and this highly imaginative girl manages to win their hearts and is adopted instead. What follows is a coming of age story, every child would love to know.
Review: This is a highly celebrated classic which has withstood the test of time.
The story revolves around Anne , a highly imaginative , wierd , and as she calls herself , homely girl and her evolution from her adoption. The relationships in the story are quite heartwarming , be it with her adopted family or with her bosom friend Diana. I cannot comment on how perfect the adaptation is , since I've not read the original story. I loved the way the manga has focused on feminism , bullying and ambitions. The illustrations were beautiful and has done justice to the story, making it fast paced and easily imbibed. This is a book every girl need to read while growing up.

Though Anne of Green Gables is a classic, I’ve never read L.M. Montgomery’s novel, so this review is based solely on the Manga Classics edition.
I have always heard people praising the original book so when I got hands on this manga edition I was very happy and excited.
The story follows Anne(with an E) who arrives at Green Gables by mistake but charms everyone so much that she is adopted there. The story talks about a young Anne growing up into a woman.

I absolutely loved the book. I don't know what else to tell. Most amazing of all was Anne's character. She is a girl who is inquisitive and dreams of an independent life. Mind you, this story is set in early 1870s and thinking of a female character like this is something I find praiseworthy.

The book also made me emotional at the end where Anne grew into a wonderful woman.

The manga edition was very good. I felt it would be the same with the novels so I have decided to read the whole series

Though Anne of Green Gables is a classic, I’ve never read L.M. Montgomery’s novel, so this review is based solely on the Manga Classics edition with no external influences. In addition, this was my first experience reading manga. The transition was easy because there were directions and illustrations showing how to read manga. Also, there is additional content at the end which includes floor plans and setting illustrations. On top of that, Crystal S. Chan provides a narrative in which she discusses the process of adapting Anne of Green Gables. From an educator’s perspective, this is a valuable addition because it allows teachers to have an even deeper discussion concerning author’s purpose and audience.

The dialogue and narration were easy to follow and worked well to propel the plot of this story. The events were entertaining, humorous, and moving. I found myself laughing and crying at various moments.

In a little over 300 pages, Chan develops unique characters; I fell in love with Anne (spelled with an E). Of course, I thank L.M. Montgomery for that, but Chan’s dialogue choices and actions convey Anne’s imaginative spirit and stubborn nature. Though the novel is set in the past, Anne’s personality and her experiences allow middle grade readers to relate to her.

Many of the messages are relevant to today’s readers. The idea that education is a means of improving one’s condition develops throughout the text and culminates at the end of the story. Though ambition, success, and achievement are admired, loving one’s family and being happy to sacrifice one’s own desires in order to care for others proves to be the most admirable character trait. In our 21st century society, this concept is one that students may rarely see in their own lives. It may also be one that is more difficult to understand and can lead to thought provoking discussions.

Overall, this adaption is sure to bring a new generation of reader to Avonlea, and they, as I am, will be forever changed.

This manga adaptation of Anne of Green Gables was approved by the original author's (LM Montgomery) estate/family, so this adaptation is really faithful to the original book. I love manga, and I would have loved this as a teenager when I preferred manga over prose books. I think comic and manga adaptations are a great way to bring classics to the masses, especially to younger and global audiences and especially if they are faithful to the source material as this one is.

Thank you to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this so much!! Having this story told in a manga setting really brought Anne to life. It was really well done.

I love Anne of Green Gables, it truly is a classic for a reason. I didn't expect this to be any different from the story I know and love - I simply love the Manga Classics and the illustrations in them. It adds something almost nostalgic to the pages. I give this 5/5 stars, and would recommend this beautiful edition to anyone who loves the story, or anyone looking to read a classic for the first time.

I'm not a big manga fan (those enormous eyes drive me nutso!), but I'll take Anne any way I can get her. (Hence the crocheted version sitting near my computer who likes to constantly remind me how lucky we are to live in a world where there are Octobers.)

This is a pretty good adaptation; some of the dialogue is taken verbatim from the book, and the writer has captured the essence of Anne. Her enthusiasm for life, and flair for drama translates well into one of these exaggerated characters.

A few minor complaints: I have to wonder why they included the hair-dying incident that led to Anne's near-scalping, only to show Anne, just a few months later, with braids trailing down her back. It probably would have been better to just leave this episode out of the book. Matthew looked like a bit too much like an Amish man, while poor Gilbert resembles a One Piece wannabe.

I'd hate to think that this might be a young girl/woman's first (or god forbid - ONLY!) exposure to Anne's world, though if it encourages anyone to pick up Montgomery's original book, then I applaud the effort.

This was so cute! I love Anne of Green Gables, and the illustrations in this are to die for. Easy to consume, engaging, beautiful colours, and all the characters I've grown to know and love over my life are all here!

I've always had a notion to read Anne of Green Gables but have yet to. Reading this however has stirred to me to do so because I absolutely love this story. The Manga was done beautifully and I loved the way they captured wiles of Anne and her "imaginating" as well as the rivalary between her and Gilbert. Such a fun and lovely read.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Manga Classics and the authors/artists for allowing me to read this and give it an honest review.

I adored this!!!! This manga is such a good adaptation of the original story. Last year I fell completely in love with the show "Anne With An E" and I really enjoyed seeing many of the same scenes in a different format. This was full of wholesome friendship, family, feminism, sass, and fun. My only complaint is that there were times where it felt like every other page had a time jump after the first half of the book being so consistent timeline-wise, and then the ending was so sudden. But overall I loved this so much and this is something that any fan of Anne of Green Gables should read!!!

I have never read Anne of Green Gables, but I have watched the tv programme, and I can honestly say that this manga captured the essence of Anne of Green Gables completely. The poetic style of writing from the original text bleeds beautifully into the style of artwork depicted in this manga. My only constructive criticism I suppose is that the scenes in the manga really jump from one time period to the other, and that can feel somewhat jarring at times, but other than that, I would completely recommend this book!

This Manga Classics adaptation of Anne of Green Gables is a very accessible way of getting into this classic! The art style is very cute, and the characters show a wide range of expressions. The text is true to the original novel, so you will not have to worry about any big changes from novel to graphic novel format. This version did tend to condense certain chapters into single pages, which feels a bit rushed but understandable due to the constraints of the format. A few chapters were also removed completely, although they did not add a lot to the story, it is important to mention this does not contain all the chapters the novel does. Overall, this is a magnificent adaptation to the novel and would be great for both old fans of the book and those interested in reading it their first time!

A great adaptation of a classic I enjoyed with my mom growing up.! The art captured the spirit of Anne perfectly. I am very glad I had the opportunity to read this adaptation and would recommend this to any fan of manga or L.M. Montgomery.

This was a fantastic adaptation - the shoujo style is so well fit for Anne and her puffed sleeves! I only wish it was longer! Any fan of Anne will feel at home here. Thank you to Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Delightful. Followed the story beautifully. Easy to read. Good illustrations. I liked seeing it play out in manga form. I enjoyed it!

I absolutely loved this! Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite classics and I really enjoyed the manga for it. The art was fantastic.

Thank you Netgalley, Manga Classics Inc. and Crystal S. Chan and Kuma Chan for the opportunity to read this book!

I'm a huge fan of manga and classic books and I really enjoyed reading the tale of Anne of Green Gables in this format, I know many readers may be wary as it is in manga format but it is no less as accurate as the original novel in a way that can easily be marketed towards children and teens. This manga compilation features the accuracy of the original novel with art that is as vibrant and colourful as Green Gables and PEI itself.

This is definitely a must read for fans of Anne of Green Gables!

In exchange for an honest review, I read the e-galley available from Manga Classics (Udon Entertainment).

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite novels of all time, so I was overjoyed to see that it was one of the most recent Manga Classics to be released. I liked how the manga stayed true to the original novel while also understanding that parts of it had to be cut or shortened to fit into this new genre and form of literature. Overall, I think the artist and writer did an excellent job, and as a longtime fan of the original novel, I am excited to add this manga edition to my collection.
