"Emma" - Kaoru Mori

Cursed serials!!! Yeah, I don't do manga much. But this sounded good...

...It was good. Detail was amazing, story was cute, the side-characters were intriguing. Of course, having said that, I've only read 3 of the 10 volumes!! I'm committed.

A 10-volume set, over 4,000 pages of Manga Victorian England. So well done.

A Japanese woman authored these books. They were serialized in Japan and, 10 years later, are being translated into English. She tells stories in the afterwords about her fanmail, interviews, and editor. She's never been to England, is alive now so never lived through the time period, her fanaticism with details. It's quite fascinating.
