"Sense and Sensibility" (Manga Classics) by Jane Austen (original story), Stacy King (story adaptation), and Po Tse (art)

This is my favorite of the Jane Austen books from Manga Classics.  They didn't let the actual point of the book slide the way they did with Emma, and they didn't have anyone calling anyone else by an anachronistically incorrect name the way they did in Pride and Prejudice.  The artwork was awesome, and the storytelling was spot on.

I really loved how they used hairstyles to highlight the personality differences between Elinor and Marianne.  Marianne has loose, flowing, sometimes untamed hair, while Elinor's is always pulled into a well-contained bun.  That really suited them, and I enjoyed learning from the afterword that Po Tse deliberately designed their hairstyles to represent them in exactly that way!

I wish that this series would do Austen's other three major novels, too.  It looks like right now, they're focusing on releasing modern language versions of the Shakespeare titles in their stable, but maybe they'll return to Austen one day?

If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: G.  They did portray young Eliza as pregnant, but they did not mention in writing how Willoughby had dishonored her, so younger readers probably won't be shocked or confused by that.  Like the others, though, this would probably be more of interest to tweens and up rather than children, anyway.

This has been my 37th book read off my TBR shelves for #TheUnreadShelfProject2022.
