What is it?

The cover has me interested.

Victorian Era romance manga. It's comfy and the art is pretty good.

I've never read it. Otoyemgatarai is pretty good however.

What's the plot?

>>2061436

/his/ thinks that /lit/ is that way <---------

>>2061459
You mean a manga adaptation of the Jane Austin novel?

>>2061436
One of my favorite mangas, especially since the author is enough of a fan of history to really go to pains to research proper fashion, etiquette, technology and even some events relative to the time in which it's happening (roughly 1896 in the main manga and roughly 1905 in the epilogue).

Though, I kind of prefer Shirley Madison just a little bit more than Emma. Shirley is literally slice of life of 13 year old Edwardian maid with her mistress and their everyday Edwardian adventures. I like the pointlessness and the every day sort of feel even more than the plot of Emma, which at its essence is Cinderella plot.

really Otoyomegatari is more /his/

I like the sound of this but I'm not into girls with glasses. Why do good things have to be ruined so easily?

I want to have sex with Kaoru Mori.

I could never get into Otoyomegatari and, weirdly enough, it's for the same reason I love Shirley Madison so much. They're both essentially (very well researched) slice of life stories about specific places at specific points in time but whereas I care deeply for Edwardian England I don't really care about 19th century pre Russian conquest Central Asia so I could never get into it.

I really appreciate the time she put into it and the gorgeous art and the examination of a very rare culture in media but it's just a culture I don't give a shit about.

Emma is genuinely really really good. It's a Cinderella story where you know the ending from the start of the 1st page and yet the characters, the details, the plot is so interesting and well done that you still keep reading.

No.

Low class maid and aristocratic guy fall in love while dealing with the rigid class structure of Victorian Britain.

I should give it a full read some time. I like Gisele Alain a lot (teenage French aristocrat runs away to Paris to experience an unsheltered life and start up a "I'll help you with whatever) business. I don't think the exact time period has been specified but given the fashion but existence of things like cable cars and automobiles, probably turn of the century, pre-Great War. It's as beautiful as Mori's stuff but trades detail for comfy levels; IIRC the creator was Mori's assistant. Apparently it's on indefinite hiatus though.

The arc where the bride visited the bath house and met that thicc friend of hers made me hard.
