review 1: This was both better and worse than I expected. I loved the artwork. I disliked the anachronistic use of language combined with the contemporary (well, to the author's time period, anyway) clothing. I'm pretty sure Jane Austen never said, "Oh, wow!" However, I did like it and the humor was much more obvious (in a good way), so I can see how this would be a gentle introduction to the heavier stuff.
review 2: DNF. The historical inaccuracies drove me nuts - examples of such include Bingley walking into the bedroom where Jane is ill, despite the fact that no man but a doctor or husband would enter a woman's bedroom, immediate usage of first names - Darcy calling Elizabeth by her first name the very night they meet, and throughout the story, (ditto with Jane). ... moreThis is best described as a manga "inspired by" Pride and Prejudice, rather than an adaptation of the book into manga form. As a huge P&P fan, I was disappointed. less
