| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) | comment |
19th century London was a time of technological innovation; photography, trains, automobiles, and many other inventions were being thought up or refined. Societal expectations, however, hadn't changed much: what class you were born in still defined a lot about who you were and what you could do. This was as true for the poorer classes as it was for the rich elite, and any relationships across class boundaries were met with scorn and disapproval.Such is the setting that Emma lives in. She works as a maid for retired governess Kelly Stownar, an outwardly stern looking woman who possess a kind heart. Emma herself is proof of this, for she has knowledge that only the higher classes are taught, and a pair of glasses that only the rich would've been able to afford. There was something that Kelly couldn't give Emma, though: beauty.Emma's good looks are part of what catches the eye of William Jones, a former student of Kelly's who stops by one day for a visit. Soon after meeting her, William becomes smitten with Emma and there's something about William's awkward demeanor that she finds charming. With a little help from Kelly, the two star crossed lovers begin a courtship.Unfortunately, William has obligations to fill. His straitlaced father, Richard Jones, wants him to marry Elanor Campbell, the daughter of a viscount. A marriage to a viscount's daughter would raise the Jones' family's social status, something that a marriage to a humble maid would never achieve. As Emma and William's relationship deepens and forces threaten to tear them apart, they will have to come to their own decisions about their futures, both as individuals and as a couple.Emma (エマ, Ema) is a historical romance seinen manga by Kaoru Mori. The manga was originally serialized in Comic Beam from January 2002 to May 2006, ending with 52 chapters compiled into seven volumes. Side story chapters as well as an epilogue were serialized under the name Emma: Further Tales from September 2006 to March 2008, collected into three volumes. All ten volumes were originally released in English by CMX. When CMX was dissolved, the series remained in limbo for several years until Yen Press rescued the series in 2015. They would re-release the series as a five volume omnibus set, printed in hardcover.An anime adaptation under the name Emma: A Victorian Romance was made between two studios. Pierrot handled the first season which aired in 2005, and Ajia-Do produced the second which aired in 2007, adding the subtitle of "Second Act". The home release was handled by Nozomi Entertainment in 2008. In 2018, Nozomi launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund an English dub for season one, with a dub for season two being a stretch goal. The Kickstarter was a success, earning enough money to fund a dub for both seasons. | |

I Was Quite a Looker | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_126ce03c | comment |
I Was Quite a Looker: Johanna, the Mölders' head cook, claims to have been a head-turning beauty when she was younger, but, aside from a small sketch by Mori in one of the afterwards, we only have her word for it. (Her daughter being drop-dead gorgeous might back up this claim, though.) | |

Blind Without 'Em | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: Emma's eyesight progressively got worse as she got older. The glasses she owns during the series mostly help, but long distances are still somewhat blurry. She doesn't want to give up that particular pair, though, because Kelly gave her those glasses; they were the first gift anyone ever gave her. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: All non-dialogue writing in the series in both manga and anime is suitably in English, despite the fact that the creators and their primary audience are Japanese. While Mori has made some spelling flubs ("Cristal Palace" instead of "Crystal Palace"), the English shown on signs and in letters in the anime is almost flawless. The letters also provide detail beyond the dialogue and give a nice flavor to the writing style of the time. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Emma is an orphan at least twice over; her mother died when Emma was very young, leaving her cruel aunt and uncle-in-law to take of her. After she was kidnapped and brought to London, Emma was later adopted by Kelly in all but name. Unfortunately, Kelly would die of eventually die of old age, leaving Emma without any parental figures once again. The Jones kids' mother was sent to the Yorkshire countryside by their father in order to save face after she unintentionally humiliated him in front of the elite. She visits from time to time, but mostly stays in Yorkshire. | |

Sexual Karma: Dorothea and Wilhelm are two of the nicest aristocrats you'd ever meet, and they have a very active and loving sex life. This is in contrast to Viscount Campbell, who is decidedly classist and cheats on his wife. | |

Distant Finale | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: The three chapter finale covering William and Emma's wedding at the end of volume ten evidently takes place several years after the end of the main part of the series; the narration notes that Queen Victoria has passed away, and younger characters such as Colin and Vivian have also visibly aged. The anime's finale is even more distant, with William and Emma already having a few children. | |

Street Urchin: Emma lived on the streets as a child for many years before Kelly took her in and gave her an education. Emma considers it one of her darkest secrets, and is ill at ease even telling sympathetic people like Dorothea about it, to say nothing of the man she falls in love with. | |

Playing Pictionary: Most people who see Colin's drawings can't quite tell what they're supposed to be, such as mistaking a rabbit for a horse, which really upsets him. William is the best at identifying these pictures since every other Jones sibling once drew like that. This includes William himself, according to Stephens, who keeps all the kids' drawings on the walls of his office. | |

| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_3b9b21c9 | comment |
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Invoked and obliquely discussed with Emma. She does not like it when anyone says she's attractive. This is because her above-average looks led directly to her being kidnapped from her native village as a child and brought to London where she barely escaped being sold into prostitution. | |

Author Appeal: Mori wasn't shy about admitting that half of the things she put in the manga were because she liked them. This includes things like her being a huge Anglophile and loving maids (and blondes), but things that have little to do with the story are setting, such as Hakim's quadruplet entourage. | |

Eternal Sexual Freedom | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_6ca9bb24 | comment |
Eternal Sexual Freedom: In the manga, Dorothea has a very frank attitude toward sex, though this may be partly to emphasize her "foreignness". In real life, differing attitudes between the British Isles and Continental Europe were openly discussed at the time. (Standing naked in front of a window is probably going over the line, though.) Then there's the scene where Maria bathes with Adele and waxes about how she could never have just one man. While Adele isn't amused, she doesn't tell her off for her blasé attitude, instead simply warning her to not let her love life interfere with her work. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name with an S: The vast differences between the Japanese and English languages has led to some confusion as to how some of the character's first or last names (or even both) should be spelled. Is Kelly's married name "Stowner" or "Stownar"? Is Wilhelm's family name "Mölders", "Malders", or "Maulders"? Is Hakim's last name "Atawari", "Atawaly", or some combination of the two? Does Emma take the train to Haworth or Harworth?note Not only do villages of both names exist in England, they're within sixty miles of each other. Haworth is the more likely candidate: it's in West Yorkshire, has a railway station, and is known for having once been home to the Brontë sisters, something an Anglophile like Mori is likely to know of. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: About half the characters are aristocrats, titled or not, and many are very pleasant and friendly. Viscount Campbell is the one who mainly plays the trope straight: he's highly classist and a schemer. | |

Sleeping Single | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_b9f8c6f8 | comment |
Sleeping Single: Most of the aristocratic couples have separate bedrooms, as was common in the era depicted. This is partly because many upper-class marriages were arranged, but even for Happily Married couples it was considered "proper behavior" not to sleep together all the time. Also, a husband wasn't supposed to witness his wife putting on makeup or other Women's Mysteries. The exception to this are Wilhelm and Dorothea who share a bed. | |

Self-Made Man | |
| Emma: A Victorian Romance (Manga) / int_ed874c14 | comment |
Self-Made Man: William's father, Richard Jones, grew up outside the traditional aristocracy and thus has no title. He made his fortune by building upon the trading business started by his own father. Although he rigidly conducts himself by the standards of a proper British Gentleman, the Jones family is still seen as Nouveau Riche by some of the titled peerage. It was worse before he married Aurelia (who does come from a noble family but was considered something of a social pariah). | |

At some point after the release of Volume 3, Mori brought on historical consultant Rico Murakami to help her with the smaller details. Murakami would also go on to be a consultant for the anime adaptation. | |
