Manga Shakespeare: Twelfth Night

I always did love manga Shakespeare since I was in high school. Glad to see it has now been digitized

This is such a fun take on a Shakespeare classic comedy.It’s very well adapted.

I am a big fan of Shakespeare whether it be a tragedy or a comedy. And this is one of the best comedies I've ever read. If you have ever seen the play or even just a movie of Twelfth Night you will like this. It is also a good way to introduce Shakespeare to your teenager or child.

I fell in love with the adorable and beautiful drawing style in how "Twelfth Night" was portrayed. One of my favorites of Shakespeare's works, I inhaled the book and found it much easier to understand than if I were to read the play. For those of you that are familiar with manga art-style, I'm sure you'll appreciate and enjoy it as much as I did. When I finished the book, my sibling decided to read it for herself and she was hooked as well. Definitely keeping this in mind for future reference should I end up buying "Romeo and Juliet" or "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

This was a great way to learn and introduce Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Our teenage son had problems understanding and getting into it. This, not only got him to read it, but he understand it much better as well, which did lead to a very nice essay and discussion on his project. It was done very well, and the art style is fun and engaging. I would recommend this for young and old.

I adore this version of Shakespeare's play, the artwork is adorable and the dialogue is taken directly from the original play. This is my favorite of all the Bard's works and it is a keeper in my collection!

It got me through an otherwise laborious play quite painlessly. It was really entertaining and the art was lovely. My only disappointment was that the original text was abridged to fit into the manga form,

I showed my students the manga versions of Shakespeare's tragedies, and several of them borrowed these editions to read overnight. I plan to keep a deep inventory of these versions in my classroom's bookshelves so that my students might continue to become "hooked on Shakespeare."

I have used this text with my 11 to 12 year olds some of whom have special educational needs. This is brilliant for helping slow readers to get the flavour and story line of what is quite a complicated plot. Recommended.

Shakespeare was designed to be seen, and short of going to see the play, this is as good a way to read it as any. The art was beautiful and although it's abridged, the key parts remain and it doesn't feel jumpy.

Questo libro mi è arrivato dalla Francia in buono stato. Disegni carini e dialoghi fedeli all'opera originale. Unica pecca era un pochino troppo futuristico e alternativo come ambientazioni e talvolta vestituari.

The characters were really appealing and the story was easy to follow. However, well known monologues from the original play were cut out, which I found a little disappointing.
