The books did an amazing job of turning a very detailed and complex story into a manga. The art and writing were great. They did a great job of cutting just enough but keep the right amount so that the story would not lose that amazingness that is the original version.
I revised a free copy from NetGalley and decided to leave a review.

This was my first experience with manga and I loved it. I enjoyed the graphics and the style and this version of Jane Eyre was amazing.

I hadn't ready Les Miserable before this. It has been on my TBR list for a long time. When I saw this adaptation of it, I knew I had to try it. I am a new manga reader. I love the graphics and the style of manga. I didn't realize what I was missing. The story is beautiful. I think I'll have to read the written version now.

This was my first manga read, but it won’t be my last. I did struggle with the artistic style a little (I didn’t feel like it was always that modest), but other than that, this book seems to stay true to the original story. It somehow manages to preserve the complexity of the plot and characters, but do it in a concise, easy-to-understand way. I don’t know how Chan and the team did it, but I’m impressed!
I fell in love with Cossette and Marius all over again, felt my heart bleed a little for Fantine, and admired Jean Valjean’s courage, love, and tenacity all over again. This is a story of realistic people in an uncertain time, and while it shows a glimpse into the depths of depravity humans can stoop to, it also shows a ray of hope—that good can come out of the darkness.
A worthwhile read—one you’ll likely never forget. Highly recommended!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion of it.… (meer)
