Manga Classics proudly introduces our faithful adaptation of The
Count of Monte Cristo. A great deal of research was required by our
adaptation team to ensure a faithful reading of the story. This
effort also included visiting each site used by Dumas in his
tale.
All Manga Classic titles are produced with lesson plans, teaching
guides and leveling for use in the classroom.
With each and every Manga Classic, it is our passion and hope that
we help the reader connect with the story in a meaningful way. We
also feel this is an exciting way to introduce these classic
stories to a new reader who may then go back to read the original
texts. We hope you enjoy our work.

Crystal S. Chan is an award-winning author and television screen play writer. She holds a degree in language and literature. Crystal is a huge fan of authors such as Jane Austen and she is equally passionate about Sailor Moon. Her passion for classic literature combined with her love of the comics medium allows her to strike a solid balance between preserving the depth of the original content while adapting the language for a younger generation. Nokman Poon says her greatest passion for drawing comics comes from the globally popular video game Street Fighter. She says she was inspired to become an artist through the art of her beloved fighting game. When she wasn’t playing the game, she would draw her favorite characters in fight scenes in order to quench her thirst of the exciting gameplay. Her years of training in comic of the fighting game genre gives her drawing a touch of firmness and crisp that rivals a male artist. Nokman enjoys sampling cuisine from all over the world. She admits that recently she has become addicted to playing mobile games during her leisure time.
