Set in early 20th century Victorian England, Emma is a heartfelt and emotional romance between two people from vastly different social classes. A servant named Emma and an aristocrat named William Jones develop deep feelings for one another, despite the societal rules that define their positions in life. Their struggle to overcome the barriers of wealth, status, and rigid customs forms the core of this emotionally intense story by Kaoru Mori. The strict social hierarchy of the era, along with disapproving members of the upper class—including those within William’s own family—attempt to keep the loving couple apart, condemning their relationship as improper. Yet despite these obstacles, the bond between William and Emma grows stronger, proving more resilient than any judgment from society. This passionate tale, created by the acclaimed author of Otoyomegatari, follows two individuals who refuse to let go of their love. Will the many unforeseen challenges tear William and Emma apart, or will they finally achieve the happiness they cherish?
