While it's a fair representation of the first and most famous of Gulliver's travels, the voyage to Lilliput, it's kind of a disservice to represent the title as the whole of Swift's classic tale. As for the art, it's hard to justify calling it "manga" since it's full color, and without any of the stylization and humor that a reader of traditional Japanese-produced manga might come to expect.

In short, this is a limited adaptation of a classic, perhaps suitable as an introduction of the story to younger readers, but with little appeal to anyone who knows the story or is expecting "manga." Not recommended.
