Summary:
From Netgalley page:Victor Hugo’s classic novel of love & tragedy during the French Revolution is reborn in this fantastic new manga adaptation by Crystal S. Chan! In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. The decision changes their lives forever. “Les Miz” has been adapted for stage and screen, and loved around the world by millions of readers. The gorgeous art of SunNeko Lee brings to life the tragic stories of Jean Valjean, Inspector Javert, and the beautiful Fantine, in this epic Manga Classics production of Les Miserables!My Review
I enjoyed this. Very intense. A bit frustrating due to Javert & the Inn couple because they had no issue with being a Lego in the walk way. I've never read the original and haven't watched the films. So, I can't compare this adaptation to the original or the movie other than this condenses the original story.
Recommend?
If you like classics, have or haven't read the original work or just interested in manga's...then yes.. I recommend.
