Beautifully done, classy, sweet, dramatic, every thing you need in a turn-of-the-century British romance is here! This story would do Jane Austen proud, all forbidden love, semantic misunderstandings, social scandal, angst and happy endings! You really can't help but fall in love Emma and William. As a random side note, it was interesting to watch this story unfold, realizing that it's a Japanese take on British culture of a century ago; it was very well written, I realized, when one of the char...more
I have been waiting a month to read this book, after I finished the last one, so I'm very glad to get my hands on it today. This is probably one of the best ones yet, as so much story happens here (figures that it would in the last volume of the actual Emma story). In this volume, Emma arrives in America and is unceremoniously thrown off the ship. Meanwhile William and Hakim hurry to the States to rescue her and bring her back to England. Emma asks Mrs Meredith to help her act like a lady, and E...more
Although this volume is longer than the previous ones, I read it in under an hour. Probably I didn't take enough time looking at the (even more than usually) gorgeous art because I wanted to see the resolution of Emma and William's story, and because I was in the library. There were some times in this volume that the story skipped over what must have been days or sometimes even weeks, but then again it was rather long as it was, so maybe that was necessary. It definitely didn't confuse or very m...more

After Emma goes missing in volume six, William searches high and low to find her. The section where he is searching for Emma is incredibly short, and I thought it seemed far too easy for him to locate where she was at.
In this volume Emma is faced with choices about what she really wants to do with her life, and about what challenges she is willing to face. At the same time she finds ecouragement and support from some of women that she and William know.

This is a great story. I didn't much care for Emma or William at the beginning of the series, but the depth of the pantheon of characters really sucked me in. Almost all of them are drawn with emotional sensitivity, and best of all, ambiguity. There aren't bad guys, so much as there are people constrained by societal expectations. Both lovers are taken through the pain of separation quite realistically, and nothing is ever conveniently fixed. I wish this was more widely available in English! (Re...more

Kaoru Mori, Emma, vol. 7 (CMX, 2008)
And so we come to the rather abrupt end of Emma, one of the best graphic novel series I've ever read. (And yet there are three more tankobon? I am confused, and the library is not helping, as they still can't find a copy of vol. 8 to lend me!) While the end does feel abrupt, it also feels right. I won't go into spoiler territory, though if you understand the structure of the classic Victorian romance, you know what;s happening in the last frames; the only susp...more

As a story, the Emma series disappointed me and the nudity scenes disgusted me but the art form of manga proved fascinating and descriptive. I loved the lines, the flow, the lighting... Just the same, this will probably be my last manga to read. Unless I try drawing one myself in the far, far future... ;)
edisi ini paling tebal dibanding dengan volume-volume sebelum na. tapi penulis na berhasil mendatanghan aura inggris serasa baca sherlock holmes. senang bisa mengikuti kisah emma. dari bukan siapa-siapa menjadi ingin seperti siapa. kekuatan tekad na besar untuk dapat cowo' impian :)
A bit of an anticlimax after a sweet and sentimental series. Pity! I felt that the first 3-4 books were planned carefully but after that the writer was in a hurry. So many characters, so much stuff to deal with. There were many questions without answers - maybe we get some more later on?
I agree completely with what Jennifer wrote. The ending was anti-climatic. The America parts were too short and there were too many unanswered questions. It almost seems set up for her to continue the series... which I sincerely hope she does.
Beware the bath chapter. But other than that, this volume was wonderful. I think my favorite so far. So many very good parts that still have me smiling as I remember them. But I have some worries because of the author's afterword, and I hope it isn't true. We'll see with the other volumes.
William finds Emma and brings her back home. He again tries to end his engagement to Eleanor.
Vivi needs an ass-whooping.
Still liking the character development, though I find William a bit weak for a hero.

Dommage que cette série ne rencontre pas le succès qu'elle mérite !
Encore un très bon volume, avec une annonce de fin qui n'en est pas une (l'auteur annonce elle-même qu'elle va continuer Emma parce qu'elle a encore plein d'idées ^^).

Thankfully they dealt with America damn fast, even if they seem to get across oceans with remarkable speed... I mean faster than today even :P
Será porque es de época y a mí los period-dramas me encantan, pero este es uno de los mejores mangas shojo que he leído.
Although this book seemed more choppy where transitions in the plot occurred, I still enjoyed it. Jane Austen fans will be pleased.
Mori's art is fantastic and the manga-afterword is still worth a few chuckles. I had to give this book 5 stars 'cause it's the first manga series that I've read all the volumes.
Would love to see the seductive Hakim or the hansome Hans have their own series...but I've just read there's going to be a 8th volume, with short stories of the supporting characters. So, I...more

Good series..but I wanted more closure! oh well
"Moreover, I'd rather much be thought to be over indulgent father that heartless man who disowns his own son to save his house."
Uhuh, Richard, I know it's awful since you have tried your best to carry your family, but deep down you're good father *sigh*
I feel so bad about Eleanor though, she is just unlucky to get caught on Will and Emma's relationship. And his father is monster, seriously, how can he say such a thing to his upset daughter TAT

I didn't realize that this was the final volume, so the end took me a bit by surprise. It didn't end exactly the way I thought it would, but it was a satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed this series. It is quite unusual for manga. The setting is so detailed and specific and the focus is primarily on character development than events and action. Although they are not entirely comparable, those qualities did remind me somewhat of Jane Austin and to me that's a point in the series' favor.
That's the end?!?
The art is still amazing but I can't believe this volume marks the end of the Emma & William storyline. That can't be right! There's still so much to know. What about the repercussions that have been set forth by the Viscount? What about William's Mom and Dad? What about Emma's past?!
There's gotta be more.
There's gotta be more.
*sigh* and thanks to jo for acquiring this from the depths of some sydney comic store, when it's out of print at the same time as cmx is PUBLISHING THE FINAL VOLUMES. i still can't get hold of 5-6 [and this is what drives us to scans, publishers.:] i presume the problem is that dc doesn't really care - i guess i'll just continue to cross my fingers that cmx is allowed to continue to exist.
I haven't read a beautiful manga like this in a long time! Especially considering that it is a modern one and not a classic.
The atmosphere are really wonderfully depicted, but the best part of the manga are the characters and how their feelings are transmitted to the reader through the drawings. I warmly recommend this manga, because I found it amazing!

Ahhh, at last. The conclusion to Emma and William's "affairs", so to speak. Interesting nude bathing scene with two of the maids again puts this book firmly in the YA camp rather than the juvenile section. Could have another volume/sequel if the author desires. A good series overall - and a nice introduction to the manga world for me.
akhirnya komik ini ( katanya ) selesai juga.
Tapi akhirnya.......nggantung.
Pembaca silakan merangkai cerita sendiri.
Intinya, emma harus berjuang supaya bisa diterima kalangan atas.
Kenapa sih akhir ceritanya dibuat nggantung begini?
Tapi tetep suka koq
