Caesar Manga, June 2, 2009
This review is from: Manga Shakespeare: Julius Caesar (Paperback)
I am a teacher, and I bought this book to help my students understand Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The drawings helped my students grasp the story, and the language still sounds authentic and not dumbed down. I would suggest this book as a companion text for any teenager who is trying to understand Julius Caesar.

A Dark Julius Ceaser, September 23, 2008
This review is from: Manga Shakespeare: Julius Caesar (Paperback)
The sixth of the Manga Shakespeare is the darkest of them. The drawing and selection of lines goes for the war torn look. The constant circling gunships and look of Mad Max tell the story in Shakespeare's words and has some depth with the art work, but it is harsh. I found myself stumbling sometimes on the language due, to being distracted by the drawings, a bit disconcerting,but some art is that way. You may need to read it twice to understand more of the artwork. Not for the youngest manga fans
