I really did have high hopes for this manga classic but I was a bit disappointed in the end ...
When it comes to adaptation I'm really lax whether the content is a 100% the same as the original work so there is a lot that can be done.
This manga however didn't create a connection between me and Pip, Estella or any of the other characters. The dialogue felt a bit flat and rushed. Dickens is known for his everlasting descriptions and witty lines and I found hardly any of that in this manga.
I do have to say that the artwork was amazing. The way the characters evolved in looks was greatly performed. Miss Havisham was my favourite, I love the way she is portrayed, exactly how I always imagined her.
In the end it might have been better to add a 100 pages and thicken the dialogue a bit, then it would definitely be a 4-5 star read !
