   MANGA DE YOMU GENJI MONOGATARI Manga - Wednesday July 18. 2018   
   日本の古典 まんがで読む 源氏物語   
   Released:2017   
   Author(s): Murasaki Shikibu   
   Artist(s): Ogawa Youko   
   Genre(s): Josei, Romance, Tragedy   
      
   This reads like a Classic Comics version of Genji Monogatari.   
   Lots of notes explaining the Heian Kyo period, dress and manners. Full   
   color.   
   Seems like it might be a School book translated to manga.   
      
   If you have not read Murasaki Shikibu's 1000 year old   
   masterpiece this might be a good introduction.  All the student   
   in Japan have to study/read Genji Monogatari.   
   Occasionally in Shojo works one of the girls will   
   comment on how Prince Genji was not a nice man.

   I think you meant Classics Illustrated.   
      
   I have never actually read the whole thing but there have been numerous    
   manga adaptation of the story.   
      
   In one of the volumes, なめこ文学全集 summarized the story very   
   concisely.  The    
   bonus is the every character is drawn as a mushroom.

   The book is rather raunchy with his sleeping around all over the place.   
      
   There was a part about Genji finding a toddler girl that he fell in love   
   with so he adopted her and groomed her to (eventually) be his wife.  Rather    
   illegal these days.
