Emma: A Victorian Romance Season 1

Description:

In 19th-century London, class lines are sharply drawn, and the social standing to which people are born dictates the path their lives will follow. Emma, an honest and hardworking young maid, never felt her place in life to be a burden. But then she met William, a member of the gentry and the eldest son of a wealthy family. His warm smile and earnest affection threaten to capture her heart... but can love truly conquer all?

This anime adaptation of Kaoru Mori's manga features direction by Tsuneo Kobayashi (The Twelve Kingdoms, Glass Mask OAV, Super GALS!) and scripting by Mamiko Ikeda (Sgt. Frog, Fruits Basket, Princess Tutu).

This collection includes a 96-page "Victorian Gazette." Written in the style of an actual Victorian newspaper, including "interviews" with the characters, articles, and period advertisements, this gazette features background information and illustrations, a full glossary, and comments and comics by Kaoru Mori, the author of the Emma manga.
