review:
'Grimms Manga Tales' by Kei Ishiyama is a series of famous stories, but told with a bit of a twist on the familiar.
The collection includes retellings of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, The Frog Prince and others. The twists presented are either gender changes to the main characters or other manga type twists. Rapunzel is a prince, and he is saved by a woman (there are also funny references to the rapunzel salad). Little Red Riding Hood features a boy who looks like a wolf. There were a couple stories I was less familiar with, but I think I can figure out what the twists were.
These were fun to read. The art was decent enough. I liked that these weren't just straightforward retellings.
I received a review copy of this manga from Tokyopop, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
