But as is custom with Mori, it's really about so many more people than that. Emma was Mori's debut series, and when I was recently able to borrow the complete omnibus set from the library I decided it was time to finally give it a read.Īt its heart, Emma is a lord-and-maid forbidden romance set in the late Victorian era. Because of it I consider the author's signature style to be elaborately drawn details and backgrounds, an abundance of interesting historical minutiae, and occasional unnecessary female nudity. The digital US version appears to be for sale as 10 individual volumes as well.Īuthor Kaoru Mori's current ongoing series, A Bride's Story, about a traveling Englishman and the local families he meets in 19th-century Central Asia, is one of my favorites. The original Japanese release consisted of 10 volumes. Series/Purchase Note: This physical US edition consists of 5 omnibus volumes.
