Every Page With Love and Care: Mori Kaoru, historical fiction mangaka

Mori Kaoru is, perhaps above all else, consistent. That consistency, both for the high quality of her works and her particular fascination with women, have earned her manga a well-deserved reputation as a must-read for anyone interested in the medium.

What particular fascinations, you ask? Well, maids, for one. Let’s start with maids.

Mori got her start creating doujinshi (self-published works) under the self-explanatory penname Lady Maid. When she was later scouted by publisher Enterbrain! and began serializing her first non-doujin manga Emma in 2001, it also featured a maid as its protagonist. Add the fact that she would later return to Shirley, the manga she had started as Lady Maid, and that many of her one-shot stories feature maids, and her fascination becomes undeniable.

[...]

Mori’s dedication to historical accuracy doesn’t just apply to maid uniforms. She has a love of place that shows through in every line of her impossibly detailed, exhaustively researched settings. The Victorian England of Shirley and Emma seems to be her first love, with recreations of many actual locations in London such as the Crystal Palace and Covent Garden. Mori even went so far as to hire a historical consultant for later volumes of Emma to ensure accuracy.

However, her most striking settings might be those of A Bride’s Story, which follows the daily lives of a number of young brides or brides-to-be across 19th century Central Asia. The manga shares Shirley’s dedication to depicting the step-by-step processes of daily life, only instead of housework, A Bride’s Story devotes whole chapters to embroidery, hunting, food, war, and—of course—the marriage traditions of half a dozen societies, all in gorgeously illustrated spreads.

So I recently bought the first volume of Scribbles by Kaoru Mori to add to my artbooks collection. I first watched Emma: A Victorian Romance when I was a child as Animax kept on airing the series (along with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood).

So when the pandemic hit, I was in the middle of a school project that was due in a few days, and I suddenly thought of the anime. Like, what happened to that series? So I looked it up, picked up the manga and finished reading the entirety of it in one night. And I thought, wow. Just wow. The way you could see how much Mori’s improved her illustrations in six years are amazing.

So I’ve loved her works and had re-read Emma at least eight times since then. I’m currently reading her ongoing series, A Bride’s Story. Her illustrations are just amazing and I feel like I should share with you guys some of my favourite pages from the book!

I recently started watching Emma: A Victorian Romance.

Mainly because I wanted to watch a show similar to Black Butler (set in the same time period), while I wait to rewatch it from the beginning.

I'm currently 5 episodes in out of 24 in total and it's so awkward and sweet (in a good way). Watching these people try to flirt and show interest in this adorable.

But also, as I'm watching this sweet show I can't help but wonder where the demons are. Or like, when will it turn into a murder mystery? I know it probably won't, but I keep noticing little similarities here and there that make me think of Black Butler XD

I'll headcanon that it takes place in the same universe, but without all the darkness. Basically most lives who doesn't get involved with Ciel and Sebastian.

There's also a character in it that's an Indian prince which immediately made me think of Soma, and he's like a chiller version of him along with a bit of Lau mixed in.

I'm planning on rewatching the entire series with my boyfriend who has never seen it before (hopefully by this October). I still haven't seen the newest season where Ciel goes to school, but I'm looking forward to it and have so far avoided major spoilers. A lot of the character designs I've seen look great and interesting.

I know the second half of the first season and the entirety of season 2 aren't "canon", but they are still nostalgic for me. Black Butler will always have a special place in my heart, since it was around this time I really started getting interested in anime.

one of the greatest thing about emma and william kissing scenes in the manga is that before they got married, 100% of them are shown from the back of will's/emma's head. and after their marriage, for the first time readers could see them kissing from their side profiles

EMMA - Emma: A Victorian Romance

[luckdovica]

The characters in Emma, A Victorian romace would greatly benefit from lesbianism

I'm on volume 3 and this far three women have agreed that they would marry a woman named Grace if she was a man and a woman has called her housemate "good girl". And these are both things that happened in volume three
