Title (English) Victorian Romance Emma

Title (Japanese) Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Based on a manga by Kaoru Mori. The manga reportedly has already been licenced for publication in the US.

Classification -

Synopsis The story is set in Victorian London. Weathy young William Jounes (Jones?) visits his former governess, and encounters the governess's maid, Emma. Emma is a girl of humble origins who has been educated by her mistress so that she can read and write. Emma and William soon fall in love, a love that crosses the barrier of class and social norms, and is strongly discouraged by William's family.
William is introduced to a "suitable" match, the well-born and beautiful noblewoman Eleanor Campbell, and their families hope that they will marry in a fortituous blend of the Jones's money and the Campbells' nobility. On the other hand, William's exotic school-friend Hakim Atawari, an Indian royal prince, returns to England with an entourage of harem girls and elephants, and encourages William in his pursuit of Emma.

Review I liked the background designs - very realistic-looking buildings, and the creators seemed to have gone to some trouble to get the details right - for instance there is Emma's use of used tea-leaves as a dust-gatherer in episode 1, apparently a typical Victorian idea. Emma is quite plain and quiet, and wears glasses, though when she takes her glasses off at might and lets down her hair she looks nicer.
I confess that on viewing the first episode only I rather took against the storyline, assuming it would be the stock plot where the duo's love is opposed by all, until Emma turns out to be a noble after all, and they marry and ... However by all accounts it's not really like that.
