Description
From CMX:
In Victorian-era England, a young girl is rescued from a life of destitution and raised to become a proper British maid. Emma meets William, the eldest son of a wealthy family, and immediately falls in love with him. William shares her feelings, but the strict rules of their society prevent their relationship from ever coming out in the open. Traditional class distinctions and rich, historical details provide the backdrop for this appealing romance.

| Nice but something is lacking by fish_and_kat on October 7th, 2009, 2:38pm |

I first read the first volume, and then because I didn't quite like the whole thing I haven't touched it for like months. Although I quite like the art and all the little details on history, I agree with Azari02, Emma lacks characters depth. I just don't feel the romance between Emma and William, and also I too, don't feel attached to the heroine Emma. Maybe because in the story she was made to be elegant? But she's just too timid, for me she doesn't look like a charming girl. I then tried to read Emma again, volume 1-2 still didn't interest me. I began to take interest after (minor spoilers) Emma works for the Molders family. I even like Hans more than William! Oh well.. But my favorite character must be Dorothea, she's gorgeous!  If you like historical romance manga you should give this a try. I give this an 8 mainly for all the accurate historical facts. The ending really doesn't satisfy me..*sigh*..

| very interesting by lorie on September 13th, 2009, 11:56am |

It felt like a Jane Auste novel came to life! ^^ It was good, very good but I wish the ending was a bit more....satisfactory. I was still debating to myself whether their love was actually 'love' and until the end I couldn't find the answer. I still don't know.

| Decent by Azari02 on September 4th, 2009, 2:52am |

Pros: It was a decent read... I really enjoyed the whole "victorian" or English feel... It really reminded me of Jane Austen's stories and her attack on England's societal and aristocratic problems such as Price and Prejudice. Some scenes were very Romantic and the story intrigued me.
Cons: I felt as if the characters didn't have enough depth to them. The development of Emma wasn't as strong as most Romance mangas. However the main problem of the manga was it felt quite anticlimactic. In the last 10 chapters the story felt much more rushed than all of the former chapters, it was a sudden change of pace. After the end I felt a lot of things hadn't been taken care of and certain aroused plot obstacles just dissipated. The ending needed to be stronger and less abrupt.

| Cool! by Shygirlz on July 17th, 2009, 11:36pm |

I somehow found this manga after randomly browsing romance mangas on this website -and I was soooo surprised, because I remembered reading this in my public library about 2 years before I even knew what manga and anime meant and what they were! I really liked this series, even though I usually don't like historical stuff in general : ) I think that this was a nice series overall. : )

| liked it more than I thought I would by chaumein on April 18th, 2009, 5:13pm |

I'm 3/4 of the way through Emma and I love it! Combines my love of 19th c. England and manga perfectly.
Spoiler (highlight to view) Although I have to say I prefer Hans over William. That guy is Darcy incarnated. Of course love will prevail and she'll end up with William, but hey.. And now looks like they're having an affair through letters BAHAHAHA I LOVE THISS

| Sumptuous! by luzzz on March 22nd, 2009, 11:49pm |

Such a sumptuous manga! The art alone entranced me - every little detail of Victorian England from the architecture down to the quirks and customs that inhabited every day life is drawn with tenderness and clarity. The only downside for me was that I felt quite detached from the main character, Emma. I suppose this is due to the fact that she's quite timid and stoic, yet on the other hand this is understandable given her station in life. But try as I might, I just couldn't 'love' her like I loved all the other characters. And to echo what someone said earlier, William's father, Richard, sure was a looker back in the day ;-) I loved the backstory between him and Aurelia!

| Wow! by Helaine on March 19th, 2009, 10:19am |

dang it! Aw! The ending.... just... wow.
I love it, really. At the beginning the story was a bit boring... until the old woman passed away >_> And things started to get interesting. I love how realistic this book is, with the problems of different classes and all... The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the other characters like Grace or Arthur didn't get any ending... Well, this comic's title is EMMA anyway so it doesn't really matter...
But a sequel would be wonderful, really.

| Detachment by sefinalishehalif on February 12th, 2009, 3:47pm |

There's a detachment from the characters that I did not like. But that's how things were back then, so it only adds to the story.
This is an awesome story if you like accurate historical stories.
I'm stingy when it comes to giving out 9's and 10's but this one deserves a 9.

| Emma by NightSwan on November 19th, 2008, 9:42am |

I didn't like the first few chapters at first, so it was on hold for some time.
I'm glad I've returned and read it.
Emma's character didn't apeal to me much, and the fact that her and Will's story wasn't the center of other great stories and events made the read so much more interesting.
Will's father was really gorgeous back in his days, and Hakim was so cute>.<
The art on Emma improved as the manga progressed, too.
(notice the smaller eyes)
