Edgar Allan Poe has been a favorite author of mine for decades. I have read his poems and stories in various formats, but this was the first time to read them in Manga. I loved how the pictures helped explain and express the words of Poe. Many of the stanzas made more sense with the pictures to help explain the emotion. I would highly recommend this as a companion to the classic writings of Poe. Using this as a learning tool would be fun, interesting, and very valuable.
