A big boh!
大きなボー！(google translator)

Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
(Coldplay, Talk)

While the art isn't the prettiest I've seen, it still brings Hamlet to life...in the future!

It's not Hamlet word for word, but it's pretty close, and the setting has been moved to 2107. Despite the changes, it still feels and reads like Hamlet and was, like Hamlet, hard to put down. Looking forward to more Manga Shakespeare. (

AHHHHHHHH! "To be or not to be, that is the question. To die, to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream, ay theres the rub." I love this book, it is my favourite book ever!! I cant help but keep reading it over and over. wooooo. the art work is spectacular. YAY!! (

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.
