Manga Shakespeare? Does it have the original dialogue?

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Yup! Somewhat abridged as to cut it down enough for space (Hamlet's speeches are shorter, etc.) Nothing more than they often do in movies, though. It's not updated modern dialogue, at least :)

that's awesome. think there are any power battles?

[elaby.livejournal.com]

The swordfight's at the end's pretty great *laughs* Hamlet has a kind of extendable energy sword thing. Only I think it actually has a blade, just enhanced.

Glad you like it. :-)
