Mori, Kaoru. (2006). Emma. 4Q 5P JS
Emma is a Victorian maid to a spinster and former live in governess who is seemingly distant with little kindness for Emma. Emma is a bit clumsy at times and in true form she mistakenly opens the door and nearly crushes the visitor's nose. This male visitor, William, was the charge of Emma's spinster boss as a boy and has come to visit his formergoverness. While visiting he becomes intrigued with Emma. In Victorian society a maid would not be a likely partner for an upper class young man-yet this young man begins to persue Emma knowing that class distintions would not allow for such a match.
This is the first in this graphic novel series by Mori. Currently this series contains eight volumes, is translated from Japanese and is read back to front, right to left. There is a Japanese television series with English subtitles based on the Emma graphic novels.
