Description
Twelfth Night is a manga interpretation of Shakespeare's romantic comedy, adapted by Richard Appignanesi and illustrated by Nana Li. This fresh take on the classic play introduces it to a new audience with thoughtful settings and engaging ideas. In this adaptation, Viola finds herself shipwrecked and pretends to be a male servant, falling in love with Duke Orsino. The story is a comedy of mistaken identity and thwarted love, which has captivated readers for centuries. With Li's sweet shojo art style, the pseudohistorical setting comes alive, bringing the Elizabethan dialogue to life through facial expressions, comic inserts, and chibis.
