This review can be found in its entirety on my blog:Reckless Indulgence | of the Written WordActual rating was 2.5 because there were parts of it that I liked, but for the most part it was just "ok" for me.
(I got an ARC of this manga through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)Though I'm a native speaker and have studied a lot of French classics during my high school and university days, I must admit, and not without shame, that I've never read Les Misérables—not the full version, that is. I ...
www.readingbifrost.comFirst off, Classics in manga form? Win. But a western manga written back to front, right to left like a traditional Japanese manga? Not so much win. Reading Japanese manga in it’s original form is a novelty, but western manga pretending to be Japanese takes the novelty out of i...
This just didn't really work for me. It felt too short, more like a illustrated summary than a proper story.

There are several reasons to love this adaptation of Victor Hugo’s classic LES MISÉRABLES. For one, as a Westerner reading manga, the brain flips “on”.

This was my first Manga/graphic novel experience and it was so-so for me. I own the paperback version of Les Mis, and knowing that it is ~1,200 pages long, I was very curious how they would condense that much material into less than 350 pages of graphics.

I normally don't read classics (too boring), but I love manga, so I just had to try this one out. Thanks Netgalley for giving me this book in exchange for a review. :)Let's just say one thing, it was still boring (story wise). I know I will never read the original. I love the fact they made a manga ...
