Yo, OP.

>>280602315 (OP)
Hi OP

>>280602359
Meido!

>>280602365
Selamat Pagi

>>280602394
Beautiful woman

>>280602368
Planes didn't exist yet but I will suspend by disbelief because the maids are cute

>>280602448
Her glasses are gonna keep getting thicker and even more moe

>>280602462
Might be moving a bit too fast there

>>280602315 (OP)
It's crazy how much better Mori's art got

>>280602510
>hair down
Oh yeah

I want to procreate with Mori Kaoru

>>280602544
>braids
OH YEAH

>>280602621
i think im in love

>>280602315 (OP)
how does it compare to bridal stories?

And that's it. Girls with glasses are cute!
Do you like glasses? Do you need them?

>>280602737
Thanks OP
Love meganekko, but I have perfect vision myself
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I'm really fucking loving this manga already

>>280602510
Extremely cute

>>280602544
Nice braids

>>280602737
I'm already a fan of this manga
I am quite fond of glasses myself. I do need them as well actually, but I never wear them
Thanks as always OP!

>>280602737
Thanks OP.

Glasses make people look better, so i've thought about buying fake glasses. It could be fun to try on different ones see which ones suit me best. Then again, i pretty happy i dont need them.

>>280602336
>The Glasses
Megane chapter? I love this one already

>>280602394
Nice hat

>>280602448
cute blind meido

This manga would've been better if it was yuri.

WEEEEW

>>280602394
Fetching hat

>>280602544
now braids? Fuck yeah, I love this manga

>>280602510
This is lewd

>>280602737
Emma's too fucking cute, OP. I'm gonna lose it. Thank you for posting, etc etc.
I believe you can improve every woman simply by making them wear glasses. And yeah, I use megane.

We love bespectacled maid maidens in love, don't we?

>>280602737
>Do you like glasses?
when they're on girls, yes

>>280603466
We love perfection here.

>>280603466
Yes.

>>280602737
Love the appearance of glasses on others, but entirely can't take wearing them myself. Luckily, don't need them much.

>>280603808
And yet some guys prefer the stupid ugly dork over a sexy glasses-wearing goddess.

>>280603466
Yes, but only if they're lesbians

>>280602737
Like glasses a lot. I've also had to use them for over 20 years now my prescription has gotten so high that I'm forced to pay for the most expensive thinnest material for the lenses so that they fit in any of the cheap frames, and the prescription goes up every year these days.

>>280603968

You're doing God's work

>>280602737
My eyes have been getting a bit poor over the years, but I can't be bothered to get glasses. I remember I had some briefly in highschool but I lost them

the real question is: round or square lenses?

>>280606613
Take me to round-town any day baby
Nothing wrong with square though

>>280602720
The thimble, heh
>>280602737
I do need glasses, but i really hate thick-framed glasses idk why, oh thanks for the chapter

>>280602394
BUSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>280602737
I love glasses!
Emma reminds me of my wife.

>>280602737
Thanks OP
>Do you like glasses?
I will have the courage to go against the grain and say that I actually don't like glasses. Girls pretty much always look better without them. Sure, many girls look pretty in them, but they also look pretty without them. I can't say of any girl where the addition of lenses is an improvement.
>Do you need them?
Yeah. I can see decently enough without them, but anything more than a few feet away from my face is kinda blurry. It's mostly an issue with reading at a distance, so I tend not to wear them unless I'm driving

>>280602737
Thank you very much OP! While I am new to Emma, I quite liked the Steppe Stories.

Eternal reminder

>>280602737
I got the lasers. Before that, blind as dear Emma.
Will really does come on strong at the start. Dang, how did he think things would go?

>>280608399
Perfection

>>280608503
Imagine finding Emma and not trying to lock her down immediately

>>280608611
B-but victorian class differences!

>>280608741
He has the upper hand in that situation

>>280602368
>aeroplane was invented in 1903
Wouldn't this be the Edwardian Era, then?

>>280602737
Thanks, OP.
I love meganekko.

>in male-oriented romance the mc is a commoner and the heroine is a princess
>in female-oriented romance the mc is a commoner and the hero is a prince
Why is that almost always the case? Because most people are middle class so it's easier to self-insert?

>>280608933
Emma is seinen, just so you know
But everyone wants a classy guy or lady

>>280608933
Getting lifted up into better straights is the fantasy, generally.

>>280602737
thanks, OP. Megane-ist until I die, even though I'm 20-20

Holy fuck how did I miss the thread for the first chapter? This is one of my favourite manga of all time and I absolutely love Mori. Glad I stumbled upon it just as the story begins. I'll be in every single one of these threads.

>>280609222
Outstanding taste

I think megane SUCK

>>280603968
I'll kick your ass, dude.

>>280602737
I like glasses. I have glasses for when I work on front of the screen. I don't need them for anything else. This chapter actually reminded me of a time I got glasses for my first gf. It is a fond memory of a good relationship.

>>280604094
I was in your boat, bro. It's annoying paying for the glasses, but I really enjoyed the close-up super-vision. Then I got cataracts in my 30s and had to have my lenses replaced last year, so now my prescription is about 2.5. Sometimes I miss my old glasses

In about your mid/late 20s the rate of change should slow down somewhat, so you can hold on to your glasses longer. And eventually you start getting far-sighted, so your eyes mildly improve a tiny bit.

I really wish this manga was yuri instead. This mangaka would've made a killing if she went that route.

>>280609880
there you are, anti-glasses anon.

>>280602674
Bro's going on hard. Hope this doesn't go sideways too fast.

Thank you for posting. I can take or leave them.

>>280602737
Thanks, anonsito.
no. yes.

>>280608933
In yhe current year most people in the West are being pushed in to working class by tax and wage stagnation. At least working class as defined by earnings.

>>280612759
No. That genre has rapidly changed in the last 10 years, less really, and only just started really flourishing or booming in the last 5 or so. This manga is a lot older than that.

>>280612979
Said the trooncel too scared to read about a man who isn't a self-insert lol

bump for anons reading

>>280616506
The mangaka should remake this manga but make it yuri instead.

>>280602544
>braids
Younger Emma is superior

>>280618974
Wait till you see even younger Emma.

Funny. I just finished watching the anime a couple weeks ago. Its quite romantic. Emma is a angel.

>>280612759
This is not yuri but it's drawn by a woman who loves the female form more than any human on the planet.

>>280619546
I love female mangaka so much bros

>>280619546
>by a woman who loves the female form more than any human on the planet.
That's why I want her to make yuri AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>280619562
The female form is completed by pairing with the male form
They were made for each other

>>280619554
I think they're incredibly based. Often better than male mangaka and lightyears ahead of their western counterparts.

>>280619562
Then read Otoyomegatari.

>>280619567
>The female form is completed by pairing with the male form
The male form is ugly. The female form paired along with another female is perfection. The pinnacle of grace and beauty.

William kinda reminds me of Jonathan Joestar

>>280619628
The vagina was quite literally made by heaven to be filled by a penis
That is all

>>280619813

Oh... so you're one of those believers in a non-existent sky daddy. No wonder you are unable to appreciate yuri.

Are we gonna do this every time

>>280621161
Good thing I'm not a spic. I don't know anything about your discord drama because I don't go to yuri threads to talk about straight romance, unlike sad little faggots like you.

>>280621209
They can't help themselves, porn addiction and insecurity turn yuritroons into schizophrenics who can't stop spamming their mental illness in every thread.

HAAAAIR DOOOOWN

>>280602737
Thanks OP

>>280602380
Gee, I wonder why she keeps on calling you the young master.

I watched Downton Abbey solely because Mori loved it. Couldn't continue after best boy left though.

I remember reading Emma until the "first" ending. I am aware that there are additional chapters revolving around the supporting casts after that "ending" but I never got around to finishing it. I really should but now I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of the details. I might have to re-read the whole thing but I ain't got time.

>>280624760
>because Mori loved it
Did she tweet about it?

>>280602737
Yes Yes Yes.

>>280602737
>Do you like glasses?
On other people.
>Do you need them?
Sort-of. My left eye is legally blind but my right eye was 20/20 until I was in my 30s. I only wear them for resolving detail at distance, so basically only when I'm shooting.

>>280602537
They're detail oriented and perverted. That is the god combo. It's why furries are grand wizards and not sucked into every latest cult.

>>280626758
Bang bang bang

>>280602475
@-@ glasses soon

>>280602664
It's important.

>>280602720

>>280619546
I've got the 3 volumes of her scribbles books and love all the comments she makes alongside her artwork

>>280612759
You do you, but I 100% disagree.

>>280602599
>>280602621
Not sure how many anons have glasses, but this is legitimately what it feels like. My eyes were not as bad at hers, but the first time I got my glasses as a kid, I put them on, and was astounded by how sharp and clear the world was.

>>280608399
Anne looking motherfucker

>>280628524
No freckles though

>>280628481
I wear glasses but didn't need them until I was in high school and yeah, when I put them on it felt like I had gotten back something important I hadn't even realized I had lost.

>>280625674
No but it was in one of her afterwords.

>>280627646
Mori has created some absolutely fine maids but no one is as perfect as Shirley Madison.

>>280602737
Thank you, OP! I like glasses (megane are in my top spot), and maids, and I also wear glasses as well. Amblyopia is an insane way to live. lmao

>>280607498
Asako is an SSS+-tier megane, for sure. Good taste, anon.

>>280612759
Not back then. I can't say I care for this either though.

soon

>>280612759
The yuri arc in otoyomegatari is generally considered people's least favorite so I highly doubt that

>>280631601
It's just because of lack of clothing, since characters are naked so much.

>>280633273
Depends on the exact date. Over the course of the Victorian era, the trip would have gone from a multi-month-long trip (potentially up to 6), to a few weeks once the Suez Canal opened and steamships were invented.

>duplicate file
And that's it. I want to ride an elephant.
Seen any cool animals lately?

Nothing of note
Thanks as always OP!

>>280633455
>>280633441
Honestly it's a hard sell that someone like Hakim would fall for a random maid. At least for William it was believable.

Good thing Mori dropped the love triangle plot. Overall I think his introduction is kinda ridicolous compared to everything else in the manga but I guess Mori wanted to draw something excotic.

>>280633868
To Hakim, this random bespectacled maid is probably somewhat exotic.

>>280633108

That's because a lot of het cucks start malding when they see yuri.

Would read

>>280633441

Stay away from her.

What did I do to you

>>280637442
nothing, we are all uncool dorks in here.

>>280633868
Is it a hard sell? It's probably the first time in his life that he sees a victorian england maidservant, and Emma's beautiful to boot.

>>280637800
>and Emma's beautiful to boot.
She's a textbook definition of average

>>280637878
Are you going to post this every day

>>280639120
It's the first time I've said it. Others have called her average because, well, she is. That's kinda the whole point. I'm not even saying it to be mean. The point of the manga is that Emma is an average looking girl

>>280639230
>The point of the manga is that Emma is an average looking girl
I doubt it, since when she gets a make over the two upper class women responsible for it are pretty stunned.

>>280639230
If that's the point then the mangaka has failed spectacularly
Spectaclerly

>>280639338
Judging a girl's beauty POST makeover is kinda silly

>>280639663
The point being Emma is certainly above average, but she lives a humble, modest existence and doesn't "put on airs." She's clearly meant to be physically attractive, but in the "comfortable librarian" sort of way.

Also the specific theme here is more certainly meant to be about how Hakim and Will are actually very similar. Hakim falls in love at first sight the way Will does too. But Hakim is more outgoing and proactive than Will, is tends to be more passive and easy going.

>>280633283

An uncounted worker might talk about it their whole life.

>>280643038
I mean, if I saw an elephant that would make my month. I should go to a zoo soon.

>>280636173
You clearly don't read it.

>>280639230
It was odd for a servant to have glasses at the time, so you look twice at her.

>>280608827
That's definitely a post-Edwardian design.

>>280608827
>>280643790
A model airplane like that being readily available means this has gotta be like 1912

>>280602403
Interesting. Emma has always been heralded as historically accurate, but here you see a fashionable woman with a small bustle in the 1890s, when the skirts actually lost the bustle as the sleeves ballooned (and gradually, the chest).

Don't take this as a rag on Mori, I'm just seeing what I'm able to notice reading this again years later. There's also much more information widely available on the internet now.

>>280643127
Nah, Hakim is a bro.

>>280602433
She approaches.

>>280643790
While "Victorian" would obviously imply "during the reign of Victoria" the Edwardian era is often as not subsumed as part of it. For a lot of casual meanings "Victorian" basically includes everything from the Steam Engine to WW1.

>>280633196
BEST BOY IS HERE

Some Emma doujin was the first NTR doujin I ever read. At the time I didn't even know it was NTR since the guy only appeared in like the last page and never found out

>>280644645
The nerds like to say "Vicwardian" nowadays to refer to the aesthetic.

SAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE MAID

>>280643038
More like year.

Hakim should've been a hot Pajeeta that successfully woos Emma.

>>280633868
Since Emma is just Mori doing what she wants for the entire run, and we know she digs Central/South Asia, I'm pretty sure this was all just her wanting to draw something exotic. As for the love triangle...it just feels like her feeling out what she wanted to do with the manga. It didn't work, so she dropped it.

>>280602664
I enjoyed it more than otoyome mainly because it felt like it had more of a solid plot through line, while the former feels more like an anthology, despite there being some recurring elements.

Though otoyome isn't finished yet, so we'll see. (Unlike Emma I can't see it ending happily given the impending russian conflict.)

Mori women are too powerful

I rewatched Royal Space Force: the Wings of Honneamise with some friends and, maybe just because the themes are mostly the same, I compared it to Twin Spica a bit and I think I preferred its attention towards a situation in a somewhat dubiously-managed/supported rocket program
Yeah, it's not the same in a lot of aspects, as Twin Spica is about the testing and trying of what being a part of a program, in spite of what it means to give up and the impact it has on one's dreams, but I think that, even with Lhadatt's disparaged outlook and the greater politics of their space program, Honneamise fills a much more rewarding aspect towards it's launch, so to speak. Maybe it was that we actually got to the rocket and the full space mission as a climax, instead of a portion of a chapter for the final volume, but it's the difference between movie and manga formatting. It also could be the more masculine energy about it all, being in the present while Twin Spica was springboarding a lot from its past setting, but both hit a similar kind of positive energy in the face of what could be disaster, with aims of hope and encouragement behind them.
that being said, I still enjoyed bonking Asumi and the rest of the cast, but, as a retrospective, I can understand some of my feelings towards its shortcomings

>>280602664
I love both and prefer Emma for now because it's actually complete and I loved the ending but I think Otoyomegatari is going be Mori's magnum opus once it's finished.

>>280643038
that would be the highlight of my month in the present...

>>280627275
Can you upload a zip to catbox?

>>280637878
Its literally canon in the story that she's uncommonly pretty. William isn't the only guy whose suddenly been smitten with her and asked her out.

>>280647775
Here you go anon!

>>280646822
Shame that most of them aren't gay.

I didn't even realise it reading it the first time but Emma is set in a period shortly before the first world war. Then she did it again with Otoyomegatari during the great game. Wonder why Mori picks such turbulent times to tell her stories.

>>280648377
might just be a coincidence, she just really loves victorian maids + comfy steppe culture.

As things are, emma doesn't really spare much thought/time for future conflicts compared to the increasing foreshadowing of the russia conflicts in bride stories.

>>280648377
It isn't really shortly though. There's still over a decade from the end of the manga to the start of WWI, and the late 1800s to early 1900s is a popular era to set (western) romantic period fiction because it's peaceful, prosperous, and not as chaotic/dirty as it was early in the industrial revolution.

It's a lot different from the looming threat of Russia in Otoyo.

>>280648510
You're probably right that it's just a coincidence. She probably loves the maid outfits of this era and it was a period when class distinctions were beginning to fade out so it was the perfect setting for this romance.

>>280648014
>Its literally canon in the story that she's uncommonly pretty
It's literally canon to my eyes that she's a 6 at best

>>280649023
I'm surprised you were able to read that with your 6/20 vision.

>>280648014
What a hussy

>>280649230
> kissed a man before marriage
disgusting!

>>280602704
its england all right

>>280602737
>Do you like glasses? Do you need them?
no, no
emma looks better without them

>>280649778
She should've only been kissing women...

>>280644645
It was mentioned that this is in the 19th century

>>280645994
Nerds is right
They're clearly distinct

>>280649778
Don't post future pages dipshit

>>280633320
this looks so fun

>>280643155
>maid dress without the apron

I never understood what's the point of Aprons

>>280652908
I'll give you two guesses why a woman who cleans for a living may want to wear an apron

>>280652946
I mean yeah it's for cleaning your hands if they get dirty or for dirty stuff not to fall in your clothes?

>>280633496
Is that Indian Emma?

>>280649778
Don't post spoilers, retard

>>280644140
Their more recent works are likely more accurate for the same reason. They get to reading then draw a manga.

>>280649230
Jan Hus was right.

>>280633441
the good stuff

>>280654273
Kuroshitsuji might be the funniest example of this with how it gets more historically accurate over time, in spite of its intentional anachronisms.

Put up fliers at the skate park and rock climbing center.

I get worried about Mori sometimes. She was ill for a while and hasn't been updating Otoyomegatari very often lately.

I looked up the mangaka and saw picrel and couldn't help but feel something off so I dug further and it appears to be some classical singer with the same name people ran with

>>280658379
For the time being I'll assume she looks exactly like this

>>280647834
Sorry, I own the physical volumes so can't help with that. Would like to have an extra digital copy of them myself

>>280653048
It's to have a sturdy, easily removed cloth to protect your real clothes, yes. Laundry was dirty and difficult work until the invention of the washing machine (which hasn't happened yet in the story). It protects the dress from spills, stains, and dirt.

I never thought we'd get an Emma storytime. I wonder if should share my Kaoru Mori folder in the final volume thread.

Thanks OP. I take them for a ride in my horseless carriage.

I love the Victorian era (although the accuracy of this manga is a bit bad) but does this get more interesting? So far this has been tremendously boring. Feels like your average "I read bronte and woolf and wanted to make a manga like that" kinda manga.

I wonder if this is a format issue: A lack of prose or deeper narrative to compliment the bog standard romance

>>280664670

I'm trying to suspend my disbelief

>>280665034
Thanks OP
I'm just not buying it. I'm unable to truly believe that every man who sees Emma just HAS to have her

>>280667505
She's beautiful, but I'll admit that this is getting a little silly

>>280667505
Yeah she's a maid. Maybe Japan doesn't have a great grasp on British class barriers but if they wanted this love competition for Emma by all these rich chads they should've made her an hieress or at least a woman of higher birth. Having her be some maid to some governess makes WHO are gunning for her less believable

>>280667540
I feel kinda bad, because at the end of every chapter all I have to say is that Emma isn't pretty enough to justify this. It made sense when it was just Will. One guy falling for a cute maid is understandable, and the class disparity can be interesting. But when Hakkim showed up, I was already on the ropes. If he was more of an asshole maharajas son who wanted to sleep with Emma, it could provide interesting romantic tension. But him also falling in love with her was dumb. And now, everyone in London knows about Emma? She's up all night every night dealing with a flood of letters?
I get that plain girl love is a thing, but this is a premise that requires a supermodel

>>280664650
>dropping the post off 'ere is always the highlight of my day
Emma is popular

>>280664813
Jonesbros, how can he touch?

>>280667775
She isn't a plain girl at all. She's already considered beautiful even in her modest maid outfit. When she actually dresses up like a lady she makes an entire ballroom of aristocrats turn their heads.

>>280663633
Bless her soul

>>280664964
>chapter 4
>Emmabowl is already hot
damn

>>280667580
Rizzing her up to make her theirs =/= marrying her, anon. With a lady you have to respect convention because she has power, but with a maid you can buy some stuff, make her comfortable, and sow your wild oats more discreetly. If a low class maid becomes a problem, the gentleman can always send her away.

>>280647582
Space Force is first and foremost an exercise in world building and animation, but the story is basically a coming of age story, just like Spica. but yeah the ending is much more rewarding, especially as you see the process of building the rocket, the other classmates becoming more responsible, and of course the war raging around the launch.

>>280667505
>I'm unable to truly believe that every man who sees Emma just HAS to have her
Besides being beautiful despite her plain clothes, Emma's biggest draw must be that she turns down everyone.

>>280667505
keep reading, it just in the beginning, it stabilizes later, maybe Mori was thinking what to do back then

>>280670171

TRULY HAKIM BEST BOY

>>280667580
They just want to fuck the hot maid. None of them has the guts to marry her.

Not on topic but for those who like Victorian Romance Emma, who here read Goodbye, My Rose Garden by Dr. Pepperco?

For the uninitiated, it's a yuri manga that's set in Victorian England like Victorian Romance Emma but I've been hearing it was well-researched too. I asked about it here because did Dr. Pepperco really research the setting like Mori did?

>>280665034
Thanks, anonsito.

Hakim is a slut.

This is the strangest Gundam Wing Prequel I've ever read.

>>280647582
I think it's hard to make parallels, despite both stories ostensibly beginning with a rocket crash and proceeding with the idea that space travel has lost some of its public support. In Honneamise it's treated as a certain-death suicide mission, while in Twin Spica the tragedy is treated more like a mark of shame. Honneamise is pretty blatantly more about faith or belief, while Twin Spica is more about loss, grief, or overcoming.
I guess Fucchy would be the closest to Lhadatt, they're both guys who effectively decided to become astronauts in order to impress women, and eventually ended up genuinely believing in the cause they initially joined for cynical reasons. But we never get to really see Fucchy's catharsis the way we do with Lhadatt. Lhadatt and Asumi can't be compared at all, since she's blatantly miss perfect who's wanted this her entire life, not a cynical bone in her body. It's hard to even compare her to Lhadatt's girlfriend, although they share a certain ironclad belief.

>>280667359
It's a Victorian romance novel world, hard working and virtuous girls are 12/10 to all the handsome young men in England.

>>280667336
It doesn't, honestly. I like Emma for a comfy depiction of the era, but the main plot is the romance, and the romance is pretty boring in spite of all the external drama. It's worth reading for the art alone though.

>>280672887
It's on the better researched side (low standards), but the thing that stands out immediately is how the lady's maid wears a uniform instead of castoffs from her lady. I understand why though.

>>280668390
>to make her theirs
Bro they're in a fancy gentleman's club talking about her like she's the toast of the town. That's not how they would be talking about a fucking house maid. They should've made her at least like an Estella where she may function like a maid but she is being reared to be a lady. But nope, she's just some governess' bespectacled maid yet the uppercrust bachlors chatter about her like she's the merry widow

Your argument can fuck off

>>280677312
>Hakim become their Speedwagon figure

>>280677648
She's just that hot bro.

>>280626997
Is this real?

>>280678808
Yeah, Emma got tired of responding to so many letters so she decides to take care of the problem for good.

>>280677648
>That's not how they would be talking about a fucking house maid.
Correction: a super hot fucking house maid. You never hung out and talked about the hot girls you've seen around in your town? lol they're not caring too much about her occupation.

>>280648155
:D

>>280677510

>better researched side

While Mori did make her mistakes (the airplane and Kelly's age), how was Goodbye, My Rose Garden more accurate than this?

>lady's maid wears a uniform instead of castoffs from her lady

Wait, maids in 1890s-1910s UK needed castoffs when employed? Not only that, how was the uniform worn by Hanako from Goodbye my Rose Garden not a castoff as a contrast to the maid uniforms here?

>>280678994
You don't know much about history and you're not really listening. Do you know ANYTHING about the victorian era or the british class system? Better yet, do you even have common sense?
>erm these nobles and royals openly trying to court this lowborn servant of a tiny household is just like chatting about gals with da boyz! Let's ignore all this context stuff lol
Shut up already. Waste of time talking with you.

It's very clear the author just wanted two things out of this setting: a character in a maid outfit, and your "classic" victorian romance, unfortunately these things are diametrically opposed for reasons that are somehow beyond your comprehension.

>>280679301
>these nobles and royals openly trying to court this lowborn servant
They're new money, not nobility. It's set in this time period specifically because class distinctions were beginning to break down such relationships however rare were more likely to form. And most of them are only looking to sow wild oats, not marry her.

>>280679283
I never said Goodbye, My Rose Garden was better researched than Emma, just that it was better than average because the average for period manga is pretty low.

>how was the uniform worn by Hanako from Goodbye my Rose Garden not a castoff as a contrast to the maid uniforms here
Housemaid =/= lady's maid. Hanako was a lady's maid, so she shouldn't have been wearing a(n afternoon) uniform, but rather her lady's castoffs since she's a higher tier servant.

>>280679301
>Why are these young lads talking about a hot girl? Don't they realise she's beneath their station? I don't understand!
Are you an actual fag?

>>280679921
Want to add that Emma is currently not a lady's maid, but rather a maid of all work, who would be wearing the stereotypical maid outfit.

>>280679301
A lot of modern period dramas (and fantasy works with aristocrats) blur the lines between classes for our modern consumption. It's personally one of the easier inaccuracies for me to ignore since it helps move the story along more easily, although I agree that the way everyone falls for Emma is quite silly.

>>280665034
Oh my god, adorable. Thanks, OP!
I would hit on them exactly like this guy did. Just be honest, don't be an asshole, and let them know that you appreciate them as you see them. You'll learn the rest later.
