Product Description

Book Description

In this manga, Hamlet is set in a dramatic futuristic world. A
great earthquake has divided our planet into separate colonies. The state
of Denmark has grown prosperous and defended itself successfully against
neighbouring states. But could it be that its greatest threat comes not
from without, but from within the state itself?

It is in this cyber-world that we find the young Hamlet. His grief over
his father's recent death turns to something far darker when the ghost of
his father appears to him. Hamlet is very soon to discover that something
is rotten in the state of Denmark...

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh brave new world that hath such manga in it!, 23 April 2007

By	Katherine EF Holden "Darth Mongoose" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent thing to own for any manga fan who wants to see just what great stuff can be done with this often underestimated medium, any Shakespeare fan wanting to see an interesting interpretation of the text or any student of Shakespeare looking for a highly enjoyable condensed version of the play.
The dialogue has been condensed a little, mostly very effectively, so that the text doesn't overwhelm the visuals, but keeping everything important, and the best lines, in place. What's special here though, are Vieceli's visuals. This is her best work yet, her sketchy, minimalist manga style has matured and come into it's own here, giving a dynamic, yet dreamy feel to the story. Every bit of emotional conflict seems to be caught in Hamlet's highly expressive eyes. More impressively, the dark humour and the subtexts of the play remain intact too, making it more than just 'Shakspeare for Kids'.
Definitely a triumph for the British manga scene.

2.0 out of 5 stars In the future, 6 Nov 2007

By	runscapestar (UK) - See all my reviews

I'll only buy graphic novels that I can search inside. Why? Well, the text descriptions don't give enough of a flavour of the content. The words, yes, perhaps (but see my other review about The Tempest and abridging books)but how can they describe the artwork?? They can't. And I don't like the style, sorry. I think I'll stick to more traditional USA/UK graphics in future. Although I like Manga as a rule, and adore Anime, this plain, drab b&w rendering just doesn't work for me. If I could have looked inside, I wouldn't have bought.
