This quite an enjoyable series. I wish there were more historical manga like Emma...

I've finally found an manga I can get into. Emma is a maid. William is an upper class gent. The two aren't supposed to notice each other, but they fall in love with each other at first sight. Although their social stations keep them apart, William and Emma find a way to have one precious date but William's inflexible family keep them from pursuing a real relationship. Circumstances are not in their favor. Kaoru Mori has a way of drawing expressions that a thousand emotions are conveyed between the star-crossed lovers without one word being written. I can't wait to see how this series ends. There are 7 volumes but my library only has 5. I might have to buy the other two because I don't think I can read them on the free manga sites.

I would recommend this book to all Downton Abbey fans, teen and tween girls new to manga, Anglophiles, and forbidden romance fans.

Même si ce n'est pas un coup de coeur contrairement à certains, c'est une lecture qui me tient en haleine !

pookasluagh's review against another edition

Using this as a placemarker for the entire series, as there isn't a goodreads entry for it. Read Vol 1 back in Oct 2012. Finally got my hands on the rest. Counting the series as a single book. (Only Vol 1-7, not the three volumes of related short stories that came afterwards, which I did not read.)

Vol 1 (reread): 8/20/14
Vol 2-3: 8/20/14
Vol 4-5: 8/21/14
Vol 6-7: 8/22/14

Emma is a bit too much of a tragic heroine for my case. Suppose it does give a very Victorian vibe to the story!
