Designed as both an engaging graphic novel and an educational tool, it simplifies Shakespeare’s original text while preserving its core themes, making it ideal for students and manga fans alike. The book reads left-to-right for easy accessibility and features vivid character designs that bring the story’s intrigue and drama to life. ## Description Samurai warriors have reclaimed a future post-nuclear world of mutants in the original manga version of Shakespeare's tale of skulduggery. The series keeps true to Shakespeare's original text, but is specially abridged for use in the manga, which makes it ideal for students to use as a primer and a way of getting to grips with the themes in Shakespeare's plays. A fusion of classic Shakespeare with manga visuals, these are cutting-edge books that will intrigue and grip readers. Review: Great way to get to know Shakespeare - The manga Shakespeare range is fantastic!! Great way to get kids interested in Shakespeare when otherwise they may struggle. This one helped my nephew understand Macbeth better ready for his GCSEs. Review: Manga "Macbeth" - Ideal for both the student of Shakespeare's play and a seasoned Manga fan, the text is, necessarily, abridged, but the salient points and "flavour" of the speeches remain. Set in post-apocalyptic Japan, the main protagonists are depicted as warlords in a ravaged world. Because of this theme, presenting the Witches as snake-demons and Macduff as a four-armed, gigantic mutated warrior, seems perfectly appropriate- and also neatly explains why Macduff could never have been born naturally! The text is clear, the storyline easy to follow ( the chief characters are presented in colour, with a brief description of each, at the front of the book, which gives a handy reference guide to the relationships between them) and, unlike "traditional" Manga , the book reads left-to-right, in the Western style, which is less daunting than a more "purist" manga presentation. The drawing is excellent, the setting interesting, which should encourage the reader to enjoy the entire play as an exciting and slightly gruesome adventure story. The memorable depiction of the characters and setting should remain in the mind's eye for a long time. I consider this a useful teaching aid as supporting, while not replacing the original text . It also stands alone as an enjoyable graphic novel. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 318,137 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,513 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 5,723 in Manga (Books) 14,002 in Poetry, Drama & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 79 Reviews | ## Images ![Macbeth (Manga Shakespeare) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hKErWBCjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to get to know Shakespeare *by R***D on 21 August 2025* The manga Shakespeare range is fantastic!!
