4.0 out of 5 stars Gruesome but recommended for lovers of Shakespeare
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018
 I found this manga on prime reading and I have to say I'm glad I read it. This is something that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to  start manga and loves historical fiction. This takes place during Shakespeare's "Lost Years" Where we are not quite sure what happened to Shakespeare during that time. This artstyle is really crisp with shaping European as well as Asian culture during the time of Shakespeare. This also doesnt feel like a quick read but isnt dense either. This unfortunately because of certain scenes that occur is not appropriate for teenagers up to 16. However I would encourage high schoolers to read it for an added bonus of learning about Shakespeare's plays and his life. Because of these points I have to give this volume a 4 out of 5 stars. I truly enjoyed myself and would recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018
A excellent historical fiction staring William Shakespeare showcasing his early life and rise to fame and a girl who has the gift to see the future which has given her life much grief until she meets shakespear, which her natural talent for poetry helps shakespear immensely.
A great read with likable characters, who are drawn to be very expressive, and really great art and panel layout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good series, bad implementation by comixology
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018
Good series, bad implementation by comixology.
Maybe it's a bit nitpicky, but the book is left to right even though the panels are right to left. It's disorienting when this is the only manga I've seen so this without mirror-flipping the images. Do both or do nothing

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully realized!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018
The idea that Shakespeare could be an amalgam of 7 people is so unexpected and the characters are so well-delineated in their various roles, added to the religious, economic and interpersonal problems the characters encounter fascinated me. I read all the available books and can't wait for more. I enjoyed the art style as well (Typically, I don't appreciate Manga).

1.0 out of 5 stars Elizabethton historical drama
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
A historical fiction dramatization about Shakespeare's early years with some paranormal/supernatural oracular events. Ultimately, I was rather bored with it. The drama felt rather flat and deliberate and if it wasn't for the author's name or that of the protagonist, I don't think it would be of much note. I guess the bulk of the characters didn't appeal to me enough so the pathos and drama just didn't connect.

Interesting storyline as I am not familiar with Shakespeare’s background. Beautiful illustrations. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just amazing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2023

The 'history ' of Shakespeare here is dubious, but Sakuishi uses his hidden years to talk about the acquisition of language, specifically poetic language. An amazing book of delicacy and Bigfoot comedy skilfully blended into a story that has your heart in your mouth as you worry for the characters.
