I love they are taking classics and turning them in to Manga. I love this outreach to a younger generation.

I loved it guys. This book was just what I wanted It to be. The world building was fun and enticing. The characters were very well flushed out. The art work was done very well. I loved the plot of this. I can not wait to read more by this author. I highly recommend this book.

Two stories of people from different environments that cross with time and changes their life completely.

Jean Valjean is a prisoner who after years finally is free, able to leave the prison and can start a new life. The one problem is that no one wants to give him a chance to work and place to sleep because of his past. The only person who helps him and at the same time give him a purpose is a priest who welcomes him in his home.

Fantine is a young mother of Cosette. Father of the little girl left them so Fantine needs to take care alone of her daughter. On the way to the new city where she is supposed to find work, she met a family Thénardiers who promised her to take care of her daughter while she will be gone for work.

Fantine and Jean Valjean meets soon and have no idea how much impact they have for their future.

I’m so in love with this story. I can read this book and watch movies over and over again. I’m so happy that I found this manga so it gave me another chance to see this story all over again in a completely new version. The drawings and this adaptation of the book were well done and had all the details which were important to show this story. The best part of it is that you don’t even need much time to read it. It takes only a few hours to read it all.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the author to give me the opportunity to read this book. I very enjoyed reading it.

Les miserables. The artwork was beautiful. They stuck very close to the story and it was a direct representation of the original prose along with manga style animation.
For those who do not feel brave enough to take on the original work by Víctor Hugo, this is a good alternative. It provides the story and a visual aid. I highly recommend it

Les Miserables in Manga is yet another one of my favorites. It highlights the main components of the story in a graphic novel. It’s brilliant. The more exposed I become to manga novels, the more I love them. My only complaint about this one in particular is that the text in some parts (mainly the letters Fantine received) was too blurry to read and if this text was adopted for a classroom usage, this would be a problem.

Thank you NetGalley and Manga Classics for this eARC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

5 stars!

I love,love,loved this version of Les Misérables! The artwork was stunning and it summarized the story very well. I felt really entertained throughout reading this and I would definitely read more of these amazing mangas!

After reading all of the Manga Classics that NetGalley has been willing to share I have decided that I will definitely be buying physical copies. These are Manga adaptations of classics. Classics I have never read before, but now interested in tracking down. Great job guys and girls! Thank you for the opportunity to read this.

I was unable to download this title. However I was able to look up some sample pages and it looks amazing! Will purchase and make an official review as soon as possible
Thank you as always for the chance

I haven't read the actual book, but I have seen the musical and the movie and this was just as good. The adaptation was amazing. If you want a full experience read it while listening to the Les Mis movie soundtrack. It's so good because the scenes and music match perfectly.

I was really excited to read and review this. But unfortunately I could not download it. It wasn’t available for kindle download. Thank you for the opportunity though. I hope this becomes available for kindle download soon.

This is beautifully done. The heartbreaking story we have all come to love teamed with beautiful pictures with that whimsical anime charm.
This would be a great option if you were looking to get your teens into reading classics without it feeling a bit dusty.

I haven't read Les Miserables yet, because the book was quite intimidating in size. But I think this graphic novel did a great job at including the most important parts of the story. I really felt that I was able to get the gist of what the book is about, just by reading this graphic novel.
I will definitely be reading the book!

I hadn't ready Les Miserable before this. It has been on my TBR list for a long time. When I saw this adaptation of it, I knew I had to try it. I am a new manga reader. I love the graphics and the style of manga. I didn't realize what I was missing. The story is beautiful. I think I'll have to read the written version now.

This was a great adaptation of Les Mis! Les Mis has always been one of my favorite stories, and I loved seeing it in this form. I think it was a great way to make it shorter, simpler to understand, and bring the characters to life.

This was the first Manga I've read, and I would like to thank NetGalley for providing it for me in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the experience.

The art was gorgeous, and I especially loved the full-page artwork. The only thing I didn't love about the book was the time changing - 5 years later, 7 years later, etc. But since Les Mis is such a huge story and there's so much to cover, I understand why they had to do it. I also noticed there was a darker background when it was back in time, which helped with getting used to that.

Les Miserables was already a beautiful story, but the graphic novelization of it adds extra layers that bring it further alive! Gorgeous illustrations coupled with brief and direct descriptions/dialogue, this manga is a true tribute to the original. Not a retelling, it sticks closely enough to Victor Hugo's play that it can be read as an introduction into the man's works.

I fricking love Les Mis so there is no way I will hate an edition of the book. I am glad it was made accesible in another way so more people get to experience the story and characters' journeys.

First of all, this is not the first manga I have read from this company. And damn, I highly recommend them. While I am at work (in my local library), I always recommend their manga to patrons who enjoy a new twist on their favorite classics.

The artwork never ceases to amaze me.

Let’s get into the meat, because, funny enough, this was the first time I have ever read Les Miserables. However, the tale of these characters is not new to me. I have seen the relatively recent musical with Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, along with the DVD Broadway version of just the songs (which was beautiful, by the way).

Les Miserables moves between a host of different characters: from Fantine who gives away her daughter Cosette to be looked after by a (terrible) family, to Jean Valjean who tried to change his fortune and become a better person. Valjean had not been a terrible person at first; he was jailed because he tried to help his family by stealing some food. Trust me; you will become invested in these characters no matter which version of the story you see or read.

Anything I would change? Besides the fact that I would have loved to read it as a paperback? Nope. I would not change a thing!


Thank you to Net Galley for a review copy of this manga!

Welcome to this cook review.

Once again this is a great way to re-discover or discover a classic you have long wanted to read.
This story was vibrant, and while I was terrified by the size of the original novel, this was a great way to dip my toes into the world and ultimately punched me to buy the full novel and give it a go (some time soon).
The artist made the story come alive, with emotions that touched the reader and left you crying long after the events happened. They managed to pull your heartstrings without making it feel childish or like a caricature.
While I wish it had been longer and had more description, it was an amazing way to make me want to finally pick up the novel and truly made me travel to another era.
Thank you for reading,
I totally recommend you pick this up,

What a wonderful idea to create these Manga Classics!
The original Les Misérables have been on my TBR shelf for the longest, and I have been eager to find time to actually read it. When I saw this adaption I just had to read it, it was just as I had imagined!
Very much like the movie, it gives an amazingly emotional experience. The artwork captures the characters great, and it is truly stunning.

The artwork in this manga is stunning and by far the best I've seen in the manga classics series. I love the story of Les Miserables and I felt that this manga does an amazing job of telling the story in such a short time-frame. This manga is one that I will for sure be reading again!

I was a little skeptical going into this book because it's based on something with so much content and I was entirely unsure how much of it could really be fit into a manga.

For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised! The author was able to give screentime to a good portion of the book and make the story flow easily (also there were no unnecessary pages dedicated to the Paris sewer systems xD).

It was, however, just slightly too short- in the midst of the rest of the story we somehow lost all the parts with the barricade boys. We got one scene at an ABC meeting that lasted a page or two and then Marius goes off on his courtship and we don't see anyone else again until the barricade. I felt so unemotionally attached to these characters and I wished we'd gotten another at least 20/30 pages dedicated to better introducing them.

But aside from that, this was so good! It flowed so well, was well drawn, and easy to follow. I think if you're a fan of the musical alone it's important to approach this with more objective eyes/an open mind but fans of the original source material as well as those unfamiliar with the story will find this a facilitating read.
