"The play is manga-friendly because it is unarguably actionpacked, complete with a terrifying ghost, a tussle in an open grave, and a climactic swordfight during which four central characters die violent deaths. At least one character in Hamlet goes insane and two characters commit suicide, one of them by accident. There’s an inadvertent murder, as well as two accomplished from afar, by trickery. Another murder, achieved by pouring poison into the victim’s ear, takes place before the story starts and is reenacted in the course of a play within the play."
