| I've just read through the first eight chapters, and I gotta say... that was awesome. I mean, really really. Mori kaoru really does make good manga--both the story and the art are breathtaking. At some points, it actually reminded me of Vinland Saga, though Otoyomegatari is milder on the violence, and has romantic elements. |

| Amazing by AzuraSky on January 5th, 2010, 7:51pm |

| hand down on art work, nothing to complain about story. The romance is lovely, just simply amazing and enjoyable. The dude talk about cruelty... lol you are naive, wat historical setting is it? 19th cent, and we all eat meat. Did u find the rabbit that cute to say it cruel? I had a good laugh. Then are u saying lion hunting deers in Africa is cruel? Hahaha, just love the story, and adj comment just plain stupid |

| Beautiful artwork aside... by VenusAD on December 10th, 2009, 8:51pm |

Because, as everyone has said, it is GORGEOUS. But that all aside, the story itself is fantastic. The relationship between Amira and Karluk is so pure and beautiful in itself. I also like that he isn't just a scared child. He behaves like a man, though his emotions are something he doesn't quite understand yet. Both of them are just so innocent and honest about their affection for each other. It is a strangely beautiful--though altogether unorthodox love story including a healthy showing of familial and community bonds.

| Wonderful art! by MissRaw on November 21st, 2009, 6:02am |

This manga is breathtakingly beautiful. Hands down, the most beautiful manga art I've come across. The details are so great. I literally read this manga 3 times already because of the art. Very inspiring.
I can't wait for new releases.

When I first saw the cover and read the description, I was intrigued and was drawn into the manga. I finally got down and read it, I loved it. The characters were nice and I hated none of them. Even though I don't really like age differences, I like this one, because the boy is mature, and the girl doesn't mind. The story is really good, the art is beautiful, and it's pace JUST right.
I recommend it to anyone. :] |

| Love this by fish_and_kat on October 1st, 2009, 3:16am |

Love this, love this, LOVE this. The art is breathtaking (it's on a par with The Bride of The Water God, if not above it), I love the romance and the developing relationship between Amira and Karluk, and I'd really like to see the development of the plot. I even like this more than Emma. Highly recommended!

This is, without contest, the most visually impressive manga I have ever read. The detail that does into every single panel is just mind-boggling. I think Mori must be superhuman to be able to draw this amazingly in the short time a manga artist has to finish a work.
So far, I haven't reached the point in the story where the plot takes over, although if the plot style Mori used in Emma is the one she usually uses, it'll pick up soon. The first few chapters are purely atmospheric. And they are beautifully so. Mori expertly portrays this world and draws us into it without ever relying on sensationalism or romanticism. It feels more like a period drama than a comic.
That said, this is a setting-driven story. The characters are of secondary importance. They all have very realistic, sympathetic personalities, but most aren't developed deeper than their designated "types." Amira herself is a Mary Sue through and through, but she's such a well-done one that I found myself actually loving her as Mary Sues are intended to be loved. Her prepubescent husband doesn't have much in the way of a personality at all yet, but his character design is so adorable that it would be hard to dislike him at all. They act more like brother and sister than husband and wife, but somehow Amira and her husband are the cutest couple I've ever come across in manga.

| a really interesting one.. by chyola on July 19th, 2009, 11:34am |

The artwork is beautiful!
I can't wait to see how Mori is going to develop this one! Both the story and the characters are very interesting and captivating. As with Mori's other work you find a heartwarming charm in both plot and characters. It got great potential! I have a feeling this will be a really interesting one..

| Artwork is enough to rate this a 10! by 9diov on July 18th, 2009, 11:14am |

One of the best artwork out there in a manga. This is the first manga of Mori sensei that I read but she totally gained my respect. It takes *ages* just to draw a panel with such details. That also requires tons of research on the clothing, the architecture, etc...
Story-wise, this manga is a bit slow. But who cares, isn't it a norm for a slice-of-life to be slow?
