Manga Classics: Pride and Prejudice
The novel as a manga, adapted by Stacy King and drawn by Po Tse.
Austen’s characters say one thing and mean another. Faces can show that faster than prose, so draw them.
You follow faces faster than paragraphs, and you want the story in its own period rather than a modern one.
What it keeps and what it changes
Keeps: the story, in the original setting.

Adapted by Stacy King and drawn by Po Tse; first published 19 August 2014.
