Jane Eyre Manga Review

[@jwash7614]

I'm watching episode 1. of "Pride and Prejudice" 1995, on PBS Eastern time, NY city. Thanks to you and your review. Keep up the great work my Dear!

[@Mew4U]

I love that one!

[@tonydeluna8095]

This review was great Jerome. Thank you for todays episode review of Jane Eyre

[@LucielStarz123]

Dunno why you’re recommended to me But you’ve got an absolutely gorgeous smile

[@joylederman4501]

Glad to see you finally got around to reviewing this adaptation of Jane Eyre, and that you enjoyed it. As always, your review was wonderfully insightful. I've been off the Jane Eyre kick for awhile, but this version is still next to my bed. May need to read it again soon!

[@natapy]

Ooh! Excited to watch this later. Thanks for all the great content!

[@kaylanash3588]

I have heard of this graphic novel, but I haven't read it. I will definitely have to check it out sometime. My interest levels in all things Jane Eyre has skyrocketed recently. I am re-reading the book (I'm on chapter fourteen) and am listening to three different Jane Eyre podcasts. I also started reading "Death of a Schoolgirl" which is the first book of The Jane Eyre Chronicles series by Joanna Campbell Slan. It serves as kind of a sequel to what happens to Jane after she marries Mr. Rochester. I don't know if you have heard of this series, but I am really enjoying it.

Once again, Weiselberry to the rescue. I know exactly to whom this perfect Christmas gift will be going. Thank You!! 😊

[@Weiselberry]

Glad I could help you out!

Thanks for another great video! In 1990, a friend in Japan sent me a Godzilla book from her country and it was one of the best days of my life when I looked in my mailbox and opened the package! I was unaware that Japanese books were page-numbered the reverse of ours. At the time, I naively wondered if I was the only person in this country that had such a book. At the time, I was studying the Japanese language because of my interest/fanaticism about Japanese science fiction movies and TV. I've never read Jane Eyre but I just might check it out. Thanks again and I hope you're staying cool. It's pretty hot here in Tennessee.

[@winterburden]

That's very cool, thank you for sharing with us! 🙆‍♀️

[@joeomalley2835]

I love this classic. One of my favorites. I never knew there was a manga book of it. Thanks for thoughts!

[@the_accidental_collector]

This is the best book review I have watched in a while. Ready to check your other videos 🌺🌺🌺

[@Videogamelover58]

Nice review

[@Lee_Forre]

2:35 Happens a lot for me as well and I love a good graphic novel. Sometimes it’s the fault of the composition on the page which leads to uncertainty of where to begin. Anyone ever tell you that you’d make a good school teacher? You could be a tremendous English teacher.

[@Fribee83]

Anytime I switch between manga and graphic novels, I have to rewrite my brain because it's all flipped. Just because this is the first time I've heard you talk about manga, I need to seize the opportunity to give you three recommendations: -Ascendance of a bookworm: An aspiring librarian is crushed under the weight of her books and reborn an a victorian era setting as a little girl and begins trying to make books accessible in the era, starting from making paper, ink, etc. Super cute. -Snow white with the red hair: A girl is told she's to marry a man she's never met and decides to run away, starting a new life and gets saved by a prince in a classic literature way. -Kaiju no.8: Basically think Godzilla and a person is attacked, gaining the ability to transform into one. He has to hide his abilities, including a childhood friend that grew up to be a Kaiju slayer. Plus...on the topic, you need to watch SSSS Gridman. It's an anime in the same vein as the old Toho movies, complete with battles that're designed and move like a man in a rubber suit. These have been recommendations from your local anime nerd!

You just gave me something that I never knew I needed.Pictorial images of Jane Eyre characters in Manga/Anime form. And they all look sooooooo Manga/Anime.Who would have thought such a thing was possible?Brocklehurst is an anime super villain.Bertha is ready for a role in Ringu.Pilot is as dashing as can be expected for a famous literary pooch. Right to left reading.To each their own.I guess. I don't think it is possible to better the book.The one thing that did strike me was how adaptation to media friendly the Eyre story is.The book could be transcribed to the screen in full and for the most part it might work.A running time of 4-6 hours would be required.Most suiting a limited series.Charlotte Bronte composes with a very cinematic voice for a 19th century writer. Getting back to Jane Austen.Noticed that on July 15 Netflix is gifting the world with another version of Persuasion. With Don and Melanie's daughter Dakota Johnson in the lead.My sister is not a fan of Johnson.But then again I would not be a fan if I had subjected myself to the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.Hopefully the Austen fans will be satisfied. We don't want riots. I'd like to think that Currer Bell would most heartily approve of Jerome Weiselberry and her Project. Thank you.

[@glenjaminbutton1126]

Big Jerome Weiselberry fan btw

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

Manga versions of classic lit would probably be my favorites outside of the originals if they were more commonplace.

[@anoncopter]

Great vidy. Thank you for sharing.

[@JoiskiMe]

Coming back to finish this, but this is a crossover I didn't know I needed.

[@cucuhangtuah1]

Excellent review

[@Weiselberry]

Thanks!

[@cellowali2865]

Never knew that there is one manga version of Jane Eyre as well, wow interesting. I will have to check it out first that is it available here in India. Would love to read this one. Btw loved the quote on your t shirt " I am no bird and no net ensnares me, I am a free human being". ❤️❤️

[@Weiselberry]

...with an independent will." The last line of text on the shirt doesn't really show up on camera in this video. :) Hope you get a chance to peruse this version sometime!

[@THEPETERC1]

Charlotte was diminutive in real life, possibly under 5 feet tall. Her champion & companion in London literary society was Thackeray, at several inches over 6 feet. See The Brontes. a superb family biography by Juliet Barker, former Curator & Librarian of the Bronte Parsonage Museum.

[@electronicaardvark3292]

If you're looking for more manga to read I'd suggest Monster by Naoki Urasawa it's a great thriller or if you're looking for other classic book adaptations Scottie Young did a great comic adaptation of the wizard of Oz novels and plays

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

I had no idea there was a Jane Eyre manga :0, I’m going to order two and give one to my niece, she loves manga and anime so perhaps it could be an introduction to Charlotte Brontë for her like you’ve mentioned it could be for those not yet ready to read the novel, I’ve looked through some of my nieces manga books so I’m familiar with how peculiar they are to read at first, the reading version of driving on different sides of the road. I may order the manga version of Pride and Prejudice also while I’m at it, I may as well. This manga version of Jane Eyre sounds like a worthy addition to the bookshelf of a Brontë fan :) Thank you as always for the wonderful reviews and recommendations. ~ Thank you Ms Weiselberry ~

[@Weiselberry]

Sweet! I hope she likes it! The other books they've done look just as appealing. They've got Austen and Shakespeare, plus I noticed The Scarlet Letter and Les Miserables, which must be enormous!

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

@@Weiselberry I was just checking them out and what the Dickens!? they’ve got Dickens lol, Anne of Green Gables too, I’m hearing the voice of Chief Brody telling me I’m going to need a bigger bookcase, can also hear Hooper say that edition of Les Miserables is a twenty footer, Quint replies : twenty five, three tons of him. Ugh, I’m an idiot. lol ~ Thank you again Ms Weiselberry ~

[@Weiselberry]

@@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855 Oh, really? Maybe those have come out since this was published, since they weren't shown in the previews. Nice! Haha, yes, from my limited experience, manga collectors tend to need a whole lotta bookshelf space. :)

[@barbarabrown7974]

I did see some of the pictures of this when I did a web search on Jane Eyre illustrations a year or two ago, so some of this is familiar to me. I was hoping to see vintage illustration to see how Victorians would have imagined Jane. Web searches being what they are, they let me to the Manga illustrations.

MONG-a. Got it. I've been saying it like the start of "manganese" this whole time.

[@Weiselberry]

I think it's more like MAHNG-guh, but yeah. Plenty of people do say it the other way, so I don't think anyone would hold it against you.

Wow, Mr. Rochester looks like Mr. Darcy in the BBC Pride and Prejudice😂

[@sageantone7291]

I'm late to the Jane Eyre craze, but I'm curious if you could recommend the two or three best adaptations to check out. The only one I've seen is the one with Orson Welles.

[@Weiselberry]

I recommend either the 1973 or 1983 miniseries. Both are about as faithful to the book as you can get with great casting. The 2006 miniseries is excellent too (and more modern), but it does make some changes that the viewer may or may not find significant.

[@sageantone7291]

@@Weiselberry Thanks. I'm just finishing the 2011 version, which I once started and bailed out on years ago. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

[@barbarabrown7974]

Some friends tried to get me into Anime and Manga. I've read enough and seen enough to understand some of the tropes, but I've never really become a fan. The overly large eyes is a trope the "good" characters have. Large eyes = large souls. The eyes are the windows of the soul. The less sympathetic characters tend to have smaller, narrower eyes, which are actually more into proportion to what humans have in real life. Manga and Anime characters tend to have exaggerated expressions -- they can be a bit over the top. One less appealing aspect of Anime and Manga is the intantalization of key characters, particularly the female characters -- almost to the point where they look like children. Sometimes this happens to male characters, who are then voiced by females. I'm not a cultural expert, but I think the followers of Anime/Manga find this attractive.

You said you had certain expectations for what this version of the story might do, but I take it that you did not have Great Expectations? Sorry... couldn't resist.

[@ericeric5903]

You’re so sweet you gave me Diabetes …. !

[@TheNightBadger]

If this was a Western comic about a Japanese novel, I'm pretty sure I could find a video somewhere on KZbin that would call out the inaccuracies (and the comic itself) as 'cultural appropriation'. So, for the sake of consistency, and in case anyone accuses you of having commenters that lack moral outrage, I'd better do it here... *clears throat* ... "This is cultural appropriation!" That said, I have a personal dislike for manga / anime that causes me to loathe it with a white-hot passion that borders on the irrational. There, now that's out of the way, I can say 'good review'.
