Manga Classics: Macbeth - Full Original Text Edition by Crystal S. ChanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an interesting new way to experience a Shakespeare classic. Based on my past attempts to read manga, I was concerned that the characters would prove hard to tell apart. But except for some of the supporting cast, the characters were easy to distinguish. I also liked the almost surreal quality of some of the art, providing literal depictions of the allusions in the 400-year-old prose. I also read the modern English version, which I’m not separately reviewing here beyond the observation that it was easier to follow but not as beautiful.
