Description
Shakespeare's famous tragedy unfurls in front of a dramatic manga setting, in which the fair city of Verona becomes a street in the highly fashionable Shibuya district of Tokyo. The swordfights become duals with katanas; the Capulets and the Montagues, opposing Yakuza families. Conflict explodes when Romeo - a bleached-blonde, well-dressed rock star - falls in love with Juliet, the pure and innocent Capulet daughter.

As You Like It
As You Like It is perhaps Shakespeare's sunniest comedy, but there are patches of shade amidst the love-drenched brightness. Political corruption, fraternal rivalry, and melancholy all serve as thematic counterpoints to Shakespeare's investigation of how release from the constraints of court, city, and even gender can permit a profound development of the self. In this manga, the Arcadian beauty of...Paperback$2295Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
