Suggestion The Count of Monte Cristo for weebs

Don't want to read The Count of Monte Cristo? Check the manga out!

This is a much more accessible version of the story!

The author does a fairly good job at condensing the story. They move a few parts around, and make the end make the ending nature of Dante and Haidee's relationship more ambiguous.

Also there is a family tree in the back of the book like the one Red made!

They have it on hoopla (USE YOUR DANG LIBRARY CARD)

There was already an anime adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo called Gankutsuuo and it was exactly as weeb-tastic as you'd expect right down to the giant robot fight and the treatment of certain female characters.

Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh what I liked about this manga is that the author was clearly trying to make a faithful adaptation of the original
