But half the plot is driven by/centred around marriage. How would that work in a high school equivalent?

Dumas is pretty much the nineteenth century-France equivilent of anime in the first place, but I've always thought this book in particular would translate to (probably fujo-bait) anime well. The character archetypes and the dynamics between them are very anime. Just age down everyone 10 years so they can still be somewhat bishie.

desu, TBP would work considerably better as a 60+ episode anime show than as a movie trilogy or life-action series or whatever Amazon/China want to do with it.

Looking back on the whole series, I consider only the first 3 books to be worth it. That is where all the magic happens - the Stone of Tear was peak WoT. It's only downhill from there, imo.

Eh, everything was cash except the tsundere redhead. She's legitimately one of the worst characters I've ever seen, drags down every scene she's in, worse if she ever opens her mouth to speak (which is every scene of course, because she can't resist being a loudmouth impulsive super tsuntsundere).

Smug cake onee-san losing to mr carpenter's manly aura of carpentry was fantastic, though.

>Harry is fighting necromancers who send hordes of zombies after him.
>Zombies are controlled by playing a drum in place of their heartbeat, and their strength is proportional to the age of the corpse (so one 200 years old is superhumanly strong and fast).
>The necromancers are about to perform a ritual which will grant them godlike power. Harry tells the friend he's fleeing with to get his polka kit, they're going to fight fire with fire.
>Harry can't turn people into zombies without breaking the laws of magic (which would corrupt him and get him executed before he can turn evil). So what's he going to do?

But marriage in the nineteenth century has very different significance to modern day dating, the plot/motivations would have to be changed completely.
I don't deny the characters would fit well, but that would be the same for pretty much any Dostoevsky novel (barring Notes)

Why’s Peace Talks Taking So Long?
(An explanation, so you can stop emailing complaints to the feedback box, which doesn’t reach Jim, and mainly just frustrates the folks running this site.) Personal problems/life events spanning the past several years are what gummed up the works.
Got divorced, with all the fallout that comes from that.
His dog died, who was “the brains of the operation” as Jim tells it.
Got engaged, then remarried.
Moved to another state to live with his fiancee, now wife.
Lived in an apartment with no private writing space for years longer than intended because the contractor building his new house blew the deadline by a couple years at least.
That last bit made it especially hard for him to get traction on Peace Talks. Thankfully, the house is finally finished and Jim is back at work, under the guidance of his new canine buddy Bru and his wife’s four majestic cats.

As of March 22nd, 2019, the current draft of the novel is up to chapter 50. Progress!
