If you don't like the original Shakespeare play, you wont like the manga. I never really liked the Tempest, but I figured maybe reading a different interpretation of it would allow me to see it from a different perspective and maybe like it more. While this was an interesting interpretation of the Tempest and the artwork was great, it is essentially the same story and I still didn't like it. Of course that wont stop me from giving the other manga shakespeare's a try. ( )

The magician Prospero and his daughter Miranda have been living on an isolated island since Prospero was ousted from his proper place as the rightful Duke of Milan by his greedy brother. Now Prospero has arranged for his enemies to be shipwrecked on his island so he can get his revenge and carry out his plans. This book depicts Shakespeare’s The Tempest in graphic novel format. It uses Shakespeare’s original text, although it is somewhat abridged. The black and white manga style illustrations aid comprehension of the story and enhance the text. The book also includes a plot summary, a page about Shakespeare, and full color character introduction pages. Manga Shakespeare is an excellent way to make Shakespeare accessible to younger audience and to get teens interested in reading Shakespeare. It is recommended for readers 12 and up. ( )

Disambiguation notice
The Manga Shakespeare series is not a direct-to-comic adaptation of Shakespeare's plays. These are updated to different times, places and backdrops and should not be confused with the original works. So while Hamlet's story may remain, it is updated to a cyber-world; Romeo & Juliet are updated to modern-day Tokyo, etc. Do not combine with the original works.
