Manga classics :Sense and Sensibility is an excellent adaptation that captures the original spirit of Jane Austen’s novel while adding a gorgeous visual component to the reading experience.

This adaptation may be a good fit for readers wanting to Approach classic literature who are nervous about the the pacing or unfamiliar vocabulary as visual component adds illumination and and encouragement to continue reading :

Magna is hard enough to read backwards, but it’s even harder on an e book. The format made it difficult to understand the story as an ebook. The story itself was good, but I think magna needs to be in paper format.

This is a new take on the classic Sense and Sensibility in Manga form. It ended up being a quick and enjoyable read!

This tittle is a bit hard to evaluate, because the drawing is amazing, really cute drawings but is lacking in bringing the characters to life, the story of the book sense and sensibility is a bit drowned in the plot, yes the most important parts of the book are here, but I don’t think this manga would be a great way to introduce anyone to the original book.

I give it 3,5 stars because like I said the drawings are really gorgeous, I just felt lacking a bit on the story part.

Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Jane Austen at her finest.
Love the friendships in this story. And putting it in manga form makes it easier to visualize the story.

I'm not really a fan of Jane Austen, but I have read some Manga Classics before and I couldn't wait to read some more as I liked this "series" of manga classics very much. What can I say, this one didn't disappoint either and now I am contemplating to read Sense and Sensibility's book as well, so very well done!
Bonus: I loved the in-depth studies at the end about the way the manga was created, recommended like all the others Manga Classics!

I’ve read Jane Austen’a original novel Sense and Sensibility before and greatly enjoyed it, but sometimes had a hard time imagining the words as pictures. This adaptation assists with that greatly. The outfits on the characters were beautifully drawn and matched the mood of the story so well. This is a wonderful way to experience the story in an accessible way.

Sense and Sensibility translates wonderfully to a shojo style, and this did not disappoint. I was even able to summon a smidgen of pity for Willoughby, and I usually cannot! Thank you to NetGalley and Manga Classics for the ARC!

I want to begin by saying I am not a huge Jane Austen fan. I have never finished one of her books so I was hoping reading it as a manga would help me see what I was missing. While I did finish it, I learned that Jane Austen just isn't for me.

I do love that this book was written with education in mind. At the end of the book you get all kinds of extras that I thought were really cool. They gave you the process of adopting a classic into a manga and facts about the original work.

The art is adorable. It did feel like you were stepping back in time, but still had the feel of a manga. The story is about two sisters trying to find love. While this isn't my kind of story, I think it will appeal to Jane Austen fans.

Read the classic twice and reading this manga adaptation wasn't as appealing to me. I think the artwork is stunning for sure, but reading the manga didn't really inspire me to re-read the classic again.

*I received this book for free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

I am officially not a fan of Jane Austen's work. This felt rushed and overexaggerated. Nothing is charming, funny, or unique about it. I thought it would be okay as a manga but I am just not into romance books. I had a horrible time trying to get this to load right on my computer. And then I found it wasn't in color so I had to strain to see it. It took forever to go to the next page. I only seem to have trouble loading the Manga Classics for some reason. Dull and not for me. 2 stars for the art style.

Manga classics continue to be great! I haven't actually read the non-Manga version of Sense & Sensibility, so it was a little hard to compare, but I do know the general story, and this seems to depict it well. Kids can read these so quickly and really get a strong sense of the story, themes, etc. I think all school libraries should buy them.

This was the first time I have ever read “Sense and Sensibility,” and as much as I love Jane Austen, I did not fully enjoy the book. I do believe that this Manga edition will help introduce a new generation to the classics, and hopefully show them the wonders of amazing authors, but at times I did feel confused with the story line. I am looking forward to reading more Manga Classics!

This was a cute version of the original, something easy to read when you don’t have time to sit down and read over the original. Definitely not as good as the original, but worth a read if you like to read anime/manga.

I really enjoyed this. Its a great way to access some classic tales, particularly for people who find the language of Austen and other works of that era intimidating. Will definitely be reading more from this range,. .

I have never read Sense and Sensibility, but after reading this manga I definitely want to! I loved the art, but enjoyed the story more. I’m not really one for romance, but this wasn’t too bad. Definitely recommend for any who enjoys the classic

A delightful re-working. I think this is prime introductory material for younger readers who have yet to read Austen, or are not enjoying her work.

This was a very easy to read and adorable manga version of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I'm glad I read it because it helped me understand the story more than the movie, The informational section about the time period and social mores was very informative and should be useful for those unfamiliar with the Regency Era. This is perfect for children or low attention span readers who might not be able to get through the original book or for anyone who just loves manga!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory

There is something a bit jarring about seeing a classic story like this in a Manga format, but it's also a wonderful way to connect this story to reluctant readers, or just people who want to read it the story with a fun new visual element to it. I can't be mad at something that gets kids reading.
