Emma was an amazing romance manga!!!! I really liked the slowburning of emma's novel and how natural everything was, not forced. Everything was slow, deep and romantic. My favorite moments were the silences constructed by the author. I reread emma's second kiss manga several times, I was simply addicted!!!
I like how much normal business is handled and how special each conversation is. Here there is no supporting actor, everyone has a story and certainly, whoever reads it will fall in love with everyone. I was very moved by the work, it is so intimate and we identify with several characters. I really rooted for Emma ... and fell in love with the whole novel and felt the complexity of every moment.
I strongly recommend Emma!!! A sweet romance with an amazing setting!!
The manga only gets better, the art is wonderful and again, take it easy!! Appreciate art and if you can, read dialogues that caught your attention twice!!! I really think it's worth it!!
I'm not used to reviewing, but I just finished reading it and I'm so thrilled <3 I'm going to miss this manga a lot

First of all, I did not expect to like this manga so much. I am familiar with manga with romantic aspects and most of the time I like it without getting excited. With Emma, I was able to do twice: to enjoy reading a good romance and to discover a very good manga.
Kaoru Mori is an author whose quality of work is not to be demonstrated anymore. We know her for Bride Stories and her ability to build consistent and interesting stories.
Emma is no exception to the rule. There are a number of points that are quite admirable.
On the technical level there ... is not much to say: it is really magnificent. With her sublime and undulating line, she has fun with the anatomy of her characters, proposing pronounced forms and some nudity scenes that are not at all shocking.
Moreover there is an excellent work done at the level of the decorations and the clothes. We feel that there was a consequent work to respect the historical context.
Indeed, the historical context is perfectly respected. At the level of the scenario, we are immersed in the English aristocratic society of the 20th century. Thanks to his careful narration Kaoru Mori manages to make us understand the stakes, the advantages and the constraints of this very elitist environment. This work full of details gives a lot of consistency to the story, which allows us to appreciate it even more.
The narration makes a lot, I took a lot of pleasure to discover all the stakes of this impossible romance between two characters from different backgrounds. It is a plot often taken up in other media but the author knew perfectly how to appropriate all this in a positive way. The point that I liked the most are the moments of silence all along the manga. Even if the manga needs to be explanatory when it is required, it remains in general quite discreet in dialogue. There is no useless dialogue and the manga knows when to put the moments of narration by the image. It is very recurrent in the manga but each time it is always well done.
I'll conclude this little review by inviting you to discover by yourself all the elements I just mentioned. It's obviously a very good manga, in besides being very pleasant to read.

Emma is a beautiful manga. That's the only way to describe it. It makes you feel things. It melts your heart giving you a warm, fuzzy, and wholesome feeling. It also has this strange wistfulness to it.

I adore the art style and it has an amazing synergy with setting of the story. The character designs were masterfully done in my opinion (they're what reeled me into reading it). The setting as well. 19th century Britain was refreshing to see. There's so much detail packed into some of the panels. You get a clear image of the majestic mansions with their embellishments and even the ... little shops with all the little articles they're selling.

I enjoyed the characters. They felt like they had real weight behind them. You get to see snippets of their lives which gives you an idea of where they're coming from. The story did a good job of breathing life into them.

This is great read if you're looking for a good romance.
