Shakespear Manga

The bard gets the Japanese comic book treatment:

The Prince of Denmark now inhabits the "cyberworld" of 2017, when global climate change has devastated the planet. Hamlet's famous soliloquy begins in familiar fashion, "To be or not to be ... that is the question", but then jumps to "To die, to sleep, to sleep, perchance to dream..." - completely dropping the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and the sea of troubles.
