Emma - A Victorian Romance


Emma..I'm having a hard time finding this manga..Like the anime but always skipped 2 or 3 episodes. Makes me a little down because of it. For you guys who doesn't know about this manga/anime, the story revolves around Emma in the victorian times.
Its manga-ka is Kaoru Mori and is a historical romance manga. Emma is the story of a maid who falls in love with a member of the gentry. However, the young man's family (William Gentry..the hero of course) disapproves of him associating with people of the lower class..(sounded Cliche'? Well read it first)
Unique for being set in a setting seldom visited by either medium without some fantasy or speculative element. The main protaganist is Emma whose in the manga was kidnapped when she was young but finally escapes and became lost in London. She then works as a maid and met William Jones the son of a wealthy merchant. When both of them catch eyes..there was spark of love but it was the victoria times when caste plays an important part in a victorian time family.
I know the story is quite cliche'd with other novel but the seriousness and the reality of a victorian times makes me loooooove the anime so much..So right now i'm hunting for the manga.
If you guys have the time...tune into animax for a glimpse of the anime..
