The manga adaptation of *Jane Eyre* offers a captivating reinterpretation of Charlotte Brontë's timeless story. The artwork is stunning, effectively capturing the gothic atmosphere and the characters’ emotional journeys. Each illustration enhances the narrative, bringing a new vibrancy to Jane's struggles and triumphs.

While the pacing is generally effective, some complexities of the original novel are streamlined. However, the core themes of resilience and integrity remain intact, making it a great introduction for newcomers and a delightful revisit for longtime fans.

Overall, this manga adaptation successfully blends classic literature with striking visuals, making it a worthwhile read for both manga lovers and Brontë enthusiasts alike!

This was a wonderful adaptation of Jane Eyre. The illustrations were enjoyable and engaging. The story was easy to understand. After the story, it explores differences between the book and different adaptations. It discusses why certain changes were made to adapt it to a manga format. Perhaps what I enjoyed most was that it made a book available to a struggling reader and allowed us to share in a literary classic in a way we've never been able to before. As my family has readers of various reading levels, this was a great way for all of us to enjoy a mini book club experience together.

Thank you to NetGalley and Manga Classics for letting me enjoy this book and share my honest thoughts and feelings about it with others.

I read this courtesy NetGalley and Udon Entertainment/Manga Classics. The drama and tragedy of Charlotte Bronte’s classic comes alive in this manga. The emotions and voice that characterize and on occasion slow down the plot of the original novel have been smoothed and crystalized by use of the sequential art here, while sharpening the focus and motivations of Jane and the people around her, in particular Mr. Rochester. Included in this book are detailed sketches of the characters, author biography, and a discussion of how the manga format brings to life the novel. One of literature’s great love stories comes alive in this interpretation.

The first Manga Classic that I've read is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. As I didn't know what to expect, I was a bit skeptical. The classic language was kept somewhat similar, which surprised me. I would like to see the pictures in color. In my opinion, this is a fantastic way to introduce the classics to the younger generation. One of my favorite classic books is Jane Erye.

Being an adaptation, especially of a classic, is not easy, but this manga succeeds with stylized and consistent art style that became really addicting. I think the best thing, though, an adaptation can do is provide a new experience. And I can say this manga does. The paneling has this quality where it exudes perspective and life. Characters don't emote the same every shot, the paneling isn't repetitive in the slightest, the dialogue pops with personality and wholesomeness, in parts. Overall, a great read and impressive display of pure craft in regards to the artwork.

This Jayne Eyre manga was a cute version of the story, the art style was pretty and the way the story was formatted was easy to follow and understand. It was slightly condensed but it’s good for those who aren’t sure they want to invest in the actual book. This is probably great for high schoolers or if you want a quick read.

yess. this was such a mood to read in this format! i really love this book and this was so much fun!

Jane Eyre is a classic for a reason and it really came to life with this manga adaptation. The story is obviously wonderful as a Bronte sisters fan, but the artwork with it really stepped it up a notch and I believe it will make it more approachable to a larger audience. Overall I really enjoyed this adaptation!

Thank you to netgalley for a digital copy of this manga in exchange for my review.

I really enjoyed the art style overall. The illustrator did a good job at drawing the settings and using descriptions from the book to capture the general atmosphere and mood of the work. The illustrations really brought this story to life in a meaningful way.

Many thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to view this book prior to publish date. I am so very grateful.

First, I must say that Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book. My mother had been a huge fan of the Bronte sisters and recommended this book to me when I was quite young. Through the years, I pick it up and re=read it to see how I feel as I get older. I just love it more and more.

This is my very first manga and I'm so glad I started with this book. I now love the story even more. The illustrations are gorgeous and add so much to this beautiful and haunting story. It's almost like reading it for the first time all over again, but with new eyes. All the emotions come through so clearly. I cry with and for Jane during her early years, as she is belittled and abused by so many. And I smile as she begins to find her gentle, yet firm voice to help others even as she needs help. Jane's story is truly one of hope, no matter what.

I love being exposed to manga. Even though I am viewing this in black and white, I think it's beautiful. When it is released, I hope I can find a copy for myself to have and read once again. I will love to see the final edition. I know that others, like me, who already know this story, will love this version as much as I do. And for those experiencing this story for the first time, I know they will be enchanted because of the beauty of the story as well as all of the gorgeous illustrations.

I will be looking forward to reading more manga in my future. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. Excellent book!!!!

It’s a cute adaptation, and not a bad idea if you need to bully someone into reading. It’s not wholly accurate, but accurate enough for a middle or high school reader who’s going to read the novel later. One of my gripes is that Rochester and Jane are both too good looking— they’re canonically ugly and plain, respectively. All in all, not bad.

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite classic stories and so I was really excited to read the manga version. I do think the author and artist do a good job of staying true to the tale while showcasing their own art and interpratation of the characters.

Another well done classic, The art is phenomenal and the story encompasses all the major points into an easy to digest format!

this was alright. I had higher hopes because it was a mix of 2 of my favorite things. bronte and anime. It was kind of hard to follow.

"Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart!"

I am a Bronte fan! I always have been and Jane Eyre is one of my all time favourites. This manga edition is so well done.

The art is gorgeous and brings life to the story of Jane. The adaptations of classic literature into Manga is perfect to bring historical works of fiction to new life, creating another way to consume this work is genius.

Thank you to UDON Entertainment & Morpheus Studios and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this!

It's my first time reading Jane Eyre and I'm really glad to read this version which is easier to read. The illustrations are very pretty too. This manga also makes me want to read the novel version. Maybe soon.

Thank you, NetGalley and UDON Entertainment for providing me with this amazing manga.

This is another classic story turned into a manga, and again they did a great job bringing it to life with the story and art. We follow a young girl who is being raised by her aunt and bullied by her cousins. We follow her story as she goes off to school and then gradually becomes a ward for a young girl, and falls in love with a man who has a secret. There is a happy ending to this story which I was happy for as the girl had gone through a lot in her life.

Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book. I never tired of this gothic romance/feminist icon of a story. Seeing it as a manga was reliving beloved characters and events in a new art form. This book is beautiful and an amazing edition of a classic.

This was an interesting retelling of a classic tale. From what I remember of the original, I read it a few years back, this is an accurate representation of the source material. It’s true in tone and vibe as well. I have never seen British Victorian clothing depicted in manga before so that was interesting as well. The art is nice though dark somehow, but that definitely fits the gothic aesthetic of the original story.
Thank you for the eARC!

A great manga adaptation of this classic novel. The new approach allows the reader to not only dive into the story, but also to submerge into a visual gothic scenery. With a masterful illustrated storytelling, the reader will follow Jane's struggles and achievements. Great for all readers.
