VILLAINS SPREAD UNFOUNDED JEALOUSY

Isolation, jealously, and betrayal haunt one of Shakespeare's most well-known tragedies. Othello, deceived by the traitorous Iago, believes his wife has been unfaithful, and his blind jealously drives this timeless story. In this fantastical manga version, much of the action takes place in the carnival atmosphere of a reimagined and otherworldly Venice. While masks may hide some characters' real motives, the very real emotions of Othello are dramatically revealed.

The Manga Shakespeare series is an exciting new way to read the works of William Shakespeare—and much more fun than a study guide! Using Shakespeare's original text and drawing inspiration from modern Japan, each of the books brings to life one of the most important works od literature in the English language. Whether it's for school or for relaxation, whether you're a fan of manga or of the Bard, manga Shakespeare won't disappoint!
