As You Like It

By Shakespeare, William & Appignanesi, Richard & Kutsuwada, Chie

Publishers Summary:
Othello and As You Like It are the newest additions to the imaginative world of Manga Shakespeare.

Both plays have been refreshingly updated in the style of manga while maintaining Shakespeare’s beautiful language.
