Yep, that's right. Mangafied versions of Shakespeare's works. Somehow, it feels bittersweet because it shows how lazy some people can be, yet it's quite epic and makes me sad that I didn't have this in HS..

Damn you Cliff Notes..>_<

I know, it's sad.. I could have seen some hawt sex scene between Romeo and Juliet as part of my required reading. And then the school board could have banned Shakespeare from the district reading list. Mmm, book pronz. XD

XD When we watched Romeo and Juliet, my teacher covered up the boob scene. All the boys were pissed and the girls were like "wow, I know what they look like" XD

GG, I remember that. Freshman year, the old teacher that waved markers around in front of your face stood in front of the T.V., blocking the middle rows. My friends and I sat on the ends, and the two end rows were like, "Boob? WTF Mr. Willhoit?"

But seriously, Cliffnotes and manga? What is this world coming to?

I don't even know what Cliff Notes is, but I did see an advertisement about them making Shakespeare manga. o.o; What exactly is Cliff Notes? Why did they decide to make a manga?

Wow that's ridiculous. XD
Cliff notes are basically accepted cheating. It's a book that summarizes a real book. Like, instead of reading something like Moby Dick you could buy cliff notes and have it summarized for you. There's also a website, http://www.sparknotes.com that does the same thing.
