Let me just dry my eyes so I can write this review. What a fantastic Manga adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. This was so beautifully done. This is for anyone who is new to the story and for people who have loved Anne for many years. Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this

I have never been interested in graphic novels, and I had never read manga (Japanese comics) before. But I am so glad I decided to give this one a try! I truly enjoyed this unique take on a familiar, well-loved story.
The artwork was very well done. The characters were mostly as I have pictured them, except for Gilbert’s wild hair, but I could suspend my disbelief because the whole thing was just such a treat. I appreciated the explanation of how to read the frames (right to left), as well as how the story of Anne was converted into manga format while staying true to the original. In the forward, L.M. Montgomery’s granddaughter puts her stamp of approval on the book and says that her grandmother would be pleased. I have to agree with her.
I don’t know if I would have enjoyed this book as much if I was not already familiar with Anne. Knowing what was coming, I anticipated my favorite parts and enjoyed seeing them in a new way. I just found out that there is an entire series of manga classics, and my local library has some of them. I look forward to reading more of them soon. 5 stars!

This is so cute! I struggle reading classics so I've wondered about manga classics for a while. When I saw this one with the beautiful cover I knew it was gone to try it! And wow am I blown away. I get the love for this story now. It's so cute and fun and wholesome. The art is gorgeous. I absolutely adore Anne's art style she so beautiful work her flowing hair and big eyes.
I think having the visuals work the story really added to it. Made it extra special.
Great way to read a classic at all ages. Having the forward at the beginning of the authors family okaying and loving this adaptation made me really happy. Her granddaughter saying this portrayed the original tale perfectly accurate made it so I could enjoy the story and not wonder what was different. Will probably be a manga and classic all time favorite for me.

For me Anne is one of the best book I read in my life. It's a classic and I relate a lot this young girl.
This manga version is very good and very well adapted. I will recommend this one

I absolutely love Anne of Green Gables and the fact there’s a Manga version of this, absolutely amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading this and I am running to buy myself a physical copy

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
I love the art! I have always loved Anne of Green Gables, and this will be an awesome addition to my collection. (I already ordered the physical copy before I finished it)
I love how dramatic Anne is, and it was so fun to visually see that with her actions and facial expressions. I think everyone was drawn perfectly!
I actually wish it was longer. There are a lot of time skips, it would have been nice if it was split into two books so we could see more.
I would love for manga classics to do a second one so that we get to see the love story between Anne and Gilbert!
Highly recommend!

This was a cute adaptation of a story I've loved since childhood. My daughter has a hard time reading long books with small print and loves the manga style, so this was a great choice for her. For myself I think I prefer the classics for what they are, but it was great to be able to share this old favorite with my child in a format that she can really consume that feels accessible to her!

Anne of Green Gables was one of the stories I grew up reading, and I was delighted at the chance to return to that innocent, captivating world of Anne's imagination, perseverance, and kind heart with this manga adaptation. It's overall a breezy, pleasant read, though that's not to say it's without its angsty moments. Still, the story is ultimately a heartwarming tale of a found family and how one little orphan girl changes the lives around her for the better.
The plot can seem a bit meandering, but it's pleasantly so, like you're taking a ramble through a natural landscape and enjoying the sights of a scenic walk. We see snapshots of Anne's five or so years growing up at Green Gables and how both are enriched by the experience. Some chapters are quite abridged, though, sometimes taking up only a page or so in the story as a quick aside of developing events, so I will say this adaptation is not a complete replacement for the full novel.
As for the art, it's simply gorgeous and picturesque. If you want a relaxing manga read, I highly recommend this title. It's a wonderful, easy-to-understand introduction for new readers and a sweet lil' supplement for longtime fans to enjoy.

I've been wanting to read "Anne of Green Gables" for a while now! I always hear about it from other readers. When I found out there was a manga classics version I was excited! I'm so glad I finally got to see who Anne was. "Manga Classics: Anne of Green Gables" made me want to purchase the novel version. Anne is so charming and witty. I loved anticipating on what she would say next. :)

A good addition to a spectacular series, this YA Manga is an adaptation of the Classic Anne of Green Gables. Gorgeous artwork and simple but effective text that emotes the essence of the original story. An inventive way to illustrate a classic, especially to readers who would not typically explore the original work. Recommended for YA readers and fans of adaptations.

This was so boring! I’ve been trying to make myself read it for over 6 weeks now and I just can’t do it anymore. I can’t finish it. I tried. I tried very hard. DNF as they say.

This manga brought the story to life with its illustrations. It was spot-on in the quotations of various characters in the story. I like the expressions on their faces. I also like the sense of humor used to portray the characters' individuality. The manga was highly entertaining and heartwarming. I would highly recommend it to any and all readers.

Loved this book, it brings the story to life in a new way for a new audience. Anne is a character that teaches strength and perseverance to
All readers. Readers will be enthralled with the adventures and the characters. Anne is a great story and seeing it in this format is heart warming and wonderful.

oh how i missed these characters — i was a bit hesitant at the start but once i got used to the manga design, the pacing was a lot easier on the eyes. the characters and places and everything was drawn so beautifully but it was actually the little snippets we had from anne’s imagination added in that truly sold me. it was a nice detail i hadn't expected and made me smile. them gilbert appeared and i lost all sense.
thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this!

I always enjoyed the book it's based on. It's a real classic and I always loved the heartwarming story. The artstyle of this manga is really nice and I think it fits all these characters very well. The manga contains a lot of important parts from the books and it transports the feelings really well. Some parts might could have been a little longer and some funny or nice moments wasn't in the manga. Still it's really nice and I really enjoyed reliving a childhood memory book from a refreshing and new perspective.

I’ve loved Anne of Green Gables since I was a child and I really can’t think of a better format for her story than manga. It was so adorable!!! A fresh take on a timeless story. I loved it immensely

had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a free copy of this book! Manga retellings of classic novels are one of my favorite things to see available. It truly allows you to see classic novels in a different light, especially if the older style of language is difficult to understand. The illustrations are beautiful, this manga truly gave me a new appreciaton for Anne and all of her adventures!

I've been trying to read more classics this year and I couldn't say no to a chance at reading a manga version of a local classic. I grew up visiting the gables house in the summers and my fiance is even from PEI so It's a shock I had never read this before tbh lol
thank you Netgalley for the e-book!!
