Manga Classics: Emma
Ratings1
Average rating4
Manga Classics brings Emma to life with this beautiful manga adaptation of Jane Austen's classic tale of youthful folly and romantic exuberance. When her former governess finds happiness as the bride of a local widower, the brilliant and beautiful Emma Woodhouse -- one of Jane Austen's immortal creations -- flatters herself that she alone has secured the marriage and that she possesses a special talent for bringing lovers together. The young heiress next busies herself with finding a suitable husband for her friend and protégé, Harriet Smith, setting off an entertaining sequence of comic mishaps and misunderstanding in this sparkling comedy of English-village romance. Beneath its considerable wit, the novel is also the story of a young woman's progress toward self-understanding.

This actually improved my understanding of Clueless, since I have not (and seem unlikely to) read Jane Austin. Otherwise it was delightful plane reading while we were stuck waiting for the bathroom smoke detector to be changed.
I received this book through Netgalley, but all opinions are my own
Once again, I haven't actually read the original, but I think I might actually like it. This was a very good story (even if Emma was a bit annoying and bad at match-making lol).
There was a lot going on in this story, with many different characters, but the author and artist really did a good job with making them all look different and pleasing to read.
I thought this was a good adaption and it has encouraged me to read the original ^_^
