Description

Illustrated by Sonia Leong, Romeo and Juliet is part of the Manga Shakespeare series of interpretations—the Bard’s greatest plays in an accessible, lively format for a young generation of readers.

Romeo and Juliet is ideally suited for the manga format—it has teenage heroes, scheming and villainous adults, heartbreaking tragedy, and the ultimate romantic plot about star-cross’d lovers. Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, fall deeply in love—and they refuse to let their parents’ age-old feud get in their way. When Romeo is banished from their town, a series of mistakes and misunderstandings, along with their families’ mutual hatred, finally manages to end their love.

An exciting introduction to the Bard for reluctant readers and manga fans alike.
