review:
'The Jungle Book' from Manga Classics is 329 pages of Rudyard Kipling adapted in to manga form. If you only know the Mowgli stories from the Jungle Book, those are here and more.

The seven books of the Jungle Book are adapted here. Some get longer adaptations than others. Also included are the poems in unabridged form that accompany the stories.

Along with the Mowgli stories, there is the story of the White Seal, Toomai of the Elephants, and my favorite, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. The poems fit in to the stories where they do in the books.

The adaptation by Crystal S. Chan is spot on, per usual. This time out the art is by Julien Choy and it's a good job. At 327 pages, there is a lot here, but I enjoyed revisiting these characters.

I received a review copy of this manga from Udon Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
