Description: Calling upon his former governess, William Jones, gentleman, is startled when his knock is answered by an uncommonly beautiful servant, the soft-spoken Emma. Throughout his visit, William's eyes drift to the maid whenever she enters the room, and he contrives to meet Emma socially as she goes about her errands. But London society is a web of strict codes and divisions. For the son of a wealthy merchant, seeking out a working-class girl is simply not done! William's father plans for his son to marry into the peerage and elevate the Jones family to greater heights, but although William says and does what is expected of him, he longs only for Emma's company.

Review: This is a gorgeously detailed historical manga, set in Victorian England and telling the story of a cross-class romance. Mori has exhaustively researched the details of life and work during the period, and it shows. But the characters are what really stand out - Emma in particular is a wonderful heroine and beautifully drawn throughout. If you don't think you like manga, but love classic novels, give this a try. My only complaint is that the translation contains too many Americanisms, which I found jarring. However, this may be balanced out by the fact that the story is complete in 7 volumes - no padding, and no waiting! The anime is lovely too.

Review: I am new to manga books, but this kept poping up in my recomendations. It was a beautiful story with really nice artwork. At first I thought that all of the men looked the same, medium height and blond. Eventually, I was able to tell them apart. I also didn't know why they were in love with each other. They met once, and were suddenly in love. I didn't think that that was realistic for a maid and an upper class gentleman during that time period, but I went along with it. I liked that there were two books in one, and the hardcover was nice. I will continue to read the story to find out what happens to Emma and William.
