Hi OP

>>282009698
Meido!

Hi OP!

>>282009818
Yo yo yo

>>282009870
I see a beautiful, beautiful autistic lady

>>282010206
What a woman

And that's it. This couple is pretty cute.
Are you saving up for anything?

>>282010221
Extremely cute story
Nothing in particular
Thanks as always OP!

>>282010221
Thanks OP
Living expenses

Kelly is tied best girl in the whole manga.

>>282010296
With who

>>282010221
Thanks OP. I'm really bad at budgeting so no.

>>282010314
Do you really need to ask?

>>282010314
Vivian

>>282010408
Shut up, Vivi, and go back to your room. Nobody likes you, they just want to spank you. You constantly cause problems for Grace and despite wanting to be a little princess you're very unladylike. I was talking about Mrs. Molders, who is a better woman than you can even conceive of.

>>282010408

Nice. Assuming you can get away with it, there's nothing better than forcing a surprise kiss on someone.

Bless this gremlin.

How much is a shilling anyway
I always thought it meant small loose change

>>282009856
He says about a woman he will pine for much of a century.

>>282010221
Emma's adoptive mom was cute. CUTE.

>>282016591
According to googling a shilling is 1/20 of a pound and a pound in 1960 adjusted for inflation is £155.38 today so about 31 pounds or 41.67usd. Although I did fail math.

>>282017027
>Londonflation has increased prices 150X over the last 65 years
I sure hope you failed math

>>282017290
Oh sorry that's 1850

Why are niggers so anti-vivi?

>>282010221
Thanks OP.
It's funny, how much less (in hours of work needed, not in absolute numbers) many things cost than 170 years ago, but still many people are at the end of their money each month...

>>282009750
Extremely confused by the timeline. Kelly was born in 1938 and the Great Exhibition took place in 1951. There is no way she is 13 during this chapter.

>>282010221
the fact the Bongs still haven't rebuilt the Crystal Palace is a testament to how far they've fallen

>>282009870
>>282009870
>>282009948
How much did a middle class journalist make in the 1850s to be able to afford a townhouse like this? Was this actually the case? Was housing that much more affordable back then? Are they just living beyond their means? Where on the totem pole of "middle class" does a journalist even land?

Also, very neat detail here where you can really see the corset shape under the dress. IIRC the bust was a lower/more natural during this era than it was during later in the century too.

>>282020372
>Kelly was born in 1838
Where was that mentioned?

>>282009907
>>282009923
>about two and a half days worth of food for the tickets
That sounds quite cheap and they don't look that badly off. How much would Doug be making at the time?

>>282020594
I guess she lied to everyone about her age in her older years lmao.

>>282020372
>>282020594
She says that she married at 18 here so Mori really just made a little boo-boo there. Probably realized it too since the next time the graves were shown they didn't have any dates on them, I believe.

>>282018965
She insist upon herself

Vivi should get everything she wants

>>282010206
i wonder if otoyomegatari is actually better or if i'm just dazzled by all the patterns and age gap marriage

>>282010221
Douglas was too pure for this world...

>>282021352
Henry didn't make me nearly as mad as William so that's a plus.

>>282021538
To be fair, Henry's parents are spineless so he can basically do whatever he wants, while Will actually had to face consequences if he acted out.

>>282021568
Henry's mom is a bitch but his dad seems fairly normal and possibly secretly impressed he bagged a cute steppe waifu

>>282020808
>she only had that nice young lad for 2 years

>>282021352
I think Otoyomegatari is a fair bit better. All the couples (barring Henry and Talas perhaps) have excellent chemistry and the art is Mori at her absolute peak. The story is also quite ambitious, encompassing so many different lives and cultures. It's pretty much going to be Mori's magnum opus once it's finished.

>>282012466
You could have just said he's british.

>>282021998
Otoyome isn't over at this point so my opinion might change, but I personally like Emma better because it has a better overarching story thread that helps keep things cohesive. Otoyome often times feels more like an anthology series rather than a solid plot, with only Henry providing something of a link between the all the different couples, though even he's gone back home now.

>>282021840
Knowing that they ended up having such a short amount of time together is really making me tear up while reading this story

>>282021998
I actually like the Henry/Talas chapters the most and Amir/Karluk the least

>>282021538
>William
Who did what?
>>282021998
I guess it is more well balanced, she shuffles the lines well and i care way more about the characters there.

>>282022097
>Otoyome isn't over at this point so my opinion might change
the only way Otoyo can be worse is if Mori pulls a
>and then the Russians kill everyone
ending

>>282021998
>barring Henry and Talas perhaps
Why?

>>282022578
> and then the russians kill everyone
even if it ends nicely, it'll at least be on the cusp of that mess which will basically ruin everyones lives except for Henry and Talas who fucked off early enough.

>>281989850
>there was a very very cute eleanor scene that was anime only. the one about the umbrella, involving her cute feet.
Which episode?

>>282022762
even in Emma, I can sort of turn my brain off and headcanon everyone escapes WW1 and 2 unscathed but in Otoyo, everyone is fucked from being under the boot of the Tsar, then WW1, then the Civil War and then capping off the misery with the Soviets and Stalin

>>282022880
Otoyome includes a lot more ominous foreshadowing than Emma did about future conflicts, especially in the chapters where Henry finally decided that he needed to leave without seeing Amir/Karluk again because the skirmishes were getting too dangerous, as well as the chapters of Azel and bros marriages where they were only really arranged because they want to unite the clans to try and push back the russians.

I've harboured a lingering dread over the years that Mori might be building up to an absolutely gut wrenching ending as Henry returns years later to find everyone gone. She probably laments the loss of all those cultures and people during the great game and wants to drive home just how much is lost over pointless conflicts. Sure it's not her style but why did she have to set the story in such a turbulent period? ;_;

>>282022612
I really don't know how to put it better into words. I like them as a couple but their interactions feel more reserved? too polite? I don't know, but I feel the same way about Emma and William. Sure everything surrounding their romance is excellent but the actual romance feels lacking compared to the other Mori couples.

>>282023255
>Henry's grandson goes back to his grandma's homeland to find the nomads settled, everyone in commieblocks and the Aral Sea dried up

>>282023332
I feel you on that, feels like even now there's a bit of an issue between the both of them not really knowing how to best interact with each other due to their differences in culture/lack of understanding in the each others culture.

Talas in general is also just kind of a reserved person, so even though Henry clearly wants to have a nice relationship with her and get closer, he doesn't really know how to go about it since the only things he really knows she likes are her horse and just.. being around animals, I guess.

>>282023455
OBJECTIVELY the most beautiful Mori girl.

>>282023524
Eh, I'm more partial to Dorothea

>>282023637
She's a close second.

>>282023348
:(

>>282023524
Maria would be first if she wasn't such a slag

>>282023524
>OBJECTIVELY the most beautiful Mori girl
is Aurelia

>>282021568
The key different is Henry isn't the first son. Also, while Henry's a bit scatter brained, their reaction to him showing up with a foreign wife makes it clear he's frequently more decisive and capable of making his own way in life. He has a clear plan and goal, even if he doesn't often think about how his friends and family will take it. And, yeah, that's kind of because they will just go along with it.

>Henry's friend: I AM NOT GOING TO HELP YOU ANYMORE!!
>next page
>Henry's friend goes with him to Scotland to be a witness for the marriage

>>282022099
There's a great bit in the next chapter I didn't catch the previous times I read it, but is very powerful if you understanding the implication.

>>282024100
Well, even if they don't help him, Henry would do it anyways. Henry could have easily introduced Talas as his maid or whatever and she probably would accept it, being from a polygamous culture, but he kept it real with his family from day 1 rather than just flakily proposing marriage to Eleanor.

>>282024134
I was more commenting about how Will's family is more strict both because he's the first son, and has obligations to them that his love life will fuck up, and it's kind of clear Will's not great with actually making things happen. The character development he gets is to be more decisive and more committed to long term goals.

Whereas, for all Henry Smith fucks around, his parents are probably more lenient because he at least seems like an independent adult without the obligations of an heir who may do odd things, but does them properly and can support himself. What the fuck was Will gonna do if he did get kicked out? Meanwhile Henry has his writing and quickly planned, or already did I don't recall, to live outside the sphere of British high society when he brought Talas back.

>>282024134
>denied Talas in a maid outfit
fuck you Henry

>>282022880

>even in Emma, I can sort of turn my brain off and headcanon everyone escapes WW1 and 2 unscathed

It's one thing to survive the World Wars, it's another to continue your way of life afterward. The Molders are going to be treated like criminals at worst because they're German and they're going to be attached to the hip with the Joneses.

>>282024561
There's always migrating to the States like many German families did. What out to the Turkestanis in Otoyo have when the Russians come calling?

>>282010221
Cute kiss. I love the way his hands are almost enveloping her head.

>>282016591
a shilling is 1/20 of a pound
after decimalisation in 1971 when they changed from 240 pence per pound to 100p per pound, it became 5p
and I think also a guinea was 21 shillings, they loved their weird measures

It's dirty work, but someone's gotta do it.

You could get a room that's too big for you by selling flowers in the street somehow.

I imagine it was pure fairy tales. Museums then weren't what they are now.

Whatever path leads to Mori drawing hornier series is the one I support.

No
Thanks as always OP!

The Full Moon watchalong will start in about 3 hours. We will watch CITY half an hour before that

>>282037852
Amazing chapters, she was the best girl all along, next to Mori

Henry's mother is absolutely not more lenient, she went full racist the moment she found out. Henry is dead to her.

>>282037751
>>282037764
Fuck...

>>282037852
Beautiful story
Anyway thanks OP
Not in over a year

Good God the palace was huge

This is going to be a really dumb question but how did old people like Kelly survive after they retired if they had no children? Did the bongs already have a pension system back then or did she have to save up all the money she had from teaching cocky rich boys? She certainly had enough money to pay Emma a salary despite not owning her home (she would've left it to Emma otherwise I think).

>>282037616
All I really want is to annoy a beautiful woman

>>282037852
>Been to any museums lately?
Not in a while, no. My wife likes art museums a lot but hasn't been feeling up to going for a while. We're trying to ha e a kid though so when we do I plan on taking them to a lot of museums as often as possible.

>>282037616
Based Douglas.

I was in Douglas once. It was pleasant enough, even visited a museum there

>>282039193
For the most part your children were your retirement plan. She probably had saved up money. Bismarck introduced the first pension system in the 1880's. Some people back then had pensions due to specific jobs, ie, soldiers, etc. Kelly probably had money saved up because of her work as an upper class governess.

>>282037764

>>282039193
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Poor_Laws#New_Poor_Law

>>282038676
To an extent, this was still the same later. If you would have told my grandmother in her youth that she would fly to Madeira in her late years or that she would live to see her grandkids travelling to Chile, Japan or the United states, she would probably have had a laugh at you. That was simply unthinkable for "normal" people at that time.

>>282039927
>Bismarck introduced the first pension system in the 1880
Bismarck? As in the ultra-conservative gigachud?

>>282040388
You have a hell of a lot to learn about politics

>>282040388
You heard that right. He literally came up with the idea to pull the rug under the socialists and kill their momentum.

>>282040388
Surely not Bismarck the Japanese shipgirl, anon.

>>282040388
Yes. In 1880's Germany, Bismarck had two serious threats to his power. The socialist SPD party and the Catholic Zentrum party. For various reasons, he had to ally with one against the other and he chose to ally the SPD to fight Zentrum. What this meant is that Bismark passed a compromise labor bill and in return the SPD backed some policy (I forget which, but something anti-Catholic)
Lenin hated this, btw. He saw it as a betrayal of the workers movement because the labor bill didn't go far enough and the SPD renounced violent revolution. This sentiment was instrumental in the development of Lenin's vanguard party

But ultimately, this isn't a thread about late 1800's Germany, so I'll leave it here

>>282039176
They don't make them like they used to

>>282039927
She must've saved up quite a lot.
When she was young she had to starve herself to see an exhibition, and in her old days she was able to live alone in a townhouse and hire a maid (Emma probably didn't earn much, but clothing and food cost as well).
Probably the rise of agricultural productivity brought down relative food prices a lot.

>>282037705
she's so fucking pretty

>>282039193
Before pensions were a thing, most homeless people were just elderly people who had spent all their money. So someone in her position would be reliant on savings and/or family

I wish I had a wife

>>282042212
Your hand would hurt

>>282042714
I wouldn't hit her that hard

>>282037408
Crystal Palace was the world's first modular building.

I've been in the Dallas Informart building, which was inspired by it. I was no fan of the clear floor spans at the top of escalators.

>>282037616
This based man only had 2 years the world is not fair.

>>282037852
Thanks, anonsito.

>>282037764
They fucked that night

>>282037852
I cried like a bitch when i read this two weeks ago

>>282037852
Sadly no but this chapter reminded me of the trip I spent like 5 days wandering the albert and vitctoria museum. Great place

There's more!?
The world has become a brighter place.

>>282038384
She can bitch and moan but clearly has no power in the family nor the ability to persuade the father to actually do anything to punish Henry or even try to properly talk him out of it.

>>282041850
Also she had some pretty high class clients when she was a governess, probably had a great reputation that afforded her higher pay.

Though yeah, I highly doubt Emma was being paid a standard maids rate anyway.

>>282037601
Something I learned recently was that the potato took a while to catch on in Victorian England because it wasn't seen as real food. There was a north/south divide where the north ate more potatoes because they had more Irish there, while the south ate bread. Not sure about the timeline of this, but I imagine the potato was still seen as lesser in the 1850s.

>>282045898
I guess it was common to pay a maid in training less or nothing at all.
I once saw a film that was rather realistic in these matters,where an old lady had a lady's maid in training, whom she paid nothing. Other servants in a house they visited told the maid that this was the oldest trick in the book, and that her mistress was an old miser.
Emma on the other hand did get a lot in return from Kelly, even if she had worked completely for free, which I doubt.

>>282042732
You should use a belt, anyway.

>>282046691
I heard the same of Prussia, where the king wanted to introduce the new crop for its better yields, but the people were sceptical.
So he had his personal guard regiment guard the fields where they were planted and made a point of being seen eating potatoes often.

>>282037823
>"it's once in a life time opportunity"
>they actually rebuild the place a year later
>but by then Douglas is too sick to go anymore
>so it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity
This got me when I reread it recently. Especially since if you compare it to Emma, her life will also change radically in just a few months. Had she and Will not made more of a connection during that scant time, their lives would've been completely different.

Let this be a lesson to anons. Take that chance, even if you might think you have plenty of time. No telling what might happen in a year.

>>282040757
The US did something similar: FDR argued you had to make the socialist/communist agitators less attractive and the easiest way to do this was simply to enact compromise policies that addressed what most people were concerned about, therefore completely defanging the appeal of the more radical ideologues.

>>282045898
Another factor might be the short length of her retirement.
I don't know whether I get the timeline right, but I guess she retired around the time she hired Emma and she employed her for approximately 5 years before she died.
But she also did not leave much inheritance in the story: The house was rented, Emma got a dress, and there didn't seem to be other heirs.
Maybe a former employer let her live in the house or paid for her retirement. It's probably cheaper to offer such a contract and "bet" on an early death, instead of paying her enough to cover the "risk" of her living until age 100. Also, if your income is from land ownership, small, regular payments over a long time are easier to do than higher payments over a shorter period.

>>282047407
Definitely an overlooked detail from Mori: Kelly would have written a letter of recommendation or otherwise secured Emma's future employment before passing.

>>282047897
>I won't leave Emma any option but to go crying to Will to support her
>what's she going to do, runaway back home with no money and no job?
Too clever by half, Kelly

>>282047897
Her death was kind of sudden, she may have expected to live longer at the least. And it would be weird if Emma had asked for a letter of recommendation while she was busy with the preemptive mourning that she ended up doing.

All this political stuff is too hard for me to comprehend i understand spanking girls way better if happy I live in this world.

>>282048481
She was clearly sick for a while though, knowing how sudden death could be is more the reason she could've written a letter beforehand. Domestic servants can be hired through a variety of avenues, but it generally goes personal recommendation > written recommendation > classifieds. Procuring the job security of a girl she cared about was the very least she could do. It's just something Mori had overlooked.

>>282048845
Wasn't this even an issue, when she started to work for the Möllders?
IIRC they only overlooked her lack of references, because they were so extremely short-staffed.
Kelly definitely could've (and would've, given her character - she was a very organized woman) done it while she was already bedridden.

I just want to say that, out of the eight storytimes I'm currently following, this one has, in my opinion, brought forth the most interesting and informative discussions. That's why I'm dreadings its end.

>>282037616
That's it. Doug best boy. He loves his wife and loves teasing her.

>>282037408
Richard and Aurelia also visited the Crystal Palace with their kids. I hope we see that too.

>>282047045
Friedrich II, yes. He also regularly travelled the country and visited farmers on their fields to see how it was going.
People still occasionally lay potatoes on his grave in Potsdam.

>>282038676
>Can see dogs shaggings anytime I want now
Better times indeed.

>>282050539
Hopefully OP will follow up with Otoyomegatari after this.

>>282036206
Emma is an angel but she's up against literal goddesses.

>>282046691
Oats were horse feed until a certain ad campaign to sell them to poors as better than no breakfast.

>>282055966
The history of breakfast food gets weird fast once you go down the religious aspect of plain foods rabbit hole.

>>282047045
When they tried that with corn in Europe the church resisted it with some originally absurd claims about wheat.

>>282053564
the good stuff

>>282009764
Henry's come to see us!

>>282053564
Nice one, anon.

>>282056546
And then there's breakfast cereals from the early 1900s originally being not only associated with Seventh-Day Adventists, but with a sanitarium health food craze.
I gotta say though, they're quite yummy. Maybe too much so, they're probably what most made me overweight.

>>282052627
Aww :(

>>282057749
Yup that's it exactly. Fucking love my corn flakes tho.

>>282056978

Tomatoes were partly because of the leaves actually being toxic and some hack fraud botanists deciding that the whole plant must be toxic and classifying it as a Deadly Nightshade since it also happened to sort of resemble belladonna and its berries, since at the time the average tomato was much smaller than our modern cultivars.
The Italians had adopted them fairly quickly since their hack fraud botanist had classified it both as a Nightshade and a Mandrake, so they thought it was partly poison partly aphrodisiac much like how they considered the eggplant.

Only Southerners thought that just horses and Scots ate oats, but the fact was it was the mainstay crop in EVERY upland area of the British Isle because wheat was not as reliable on some Yorkshire fellside which had a harsher climate and weather than anything the lowlands and South had, and where communities/households were frequently in isolated area.

Now the uplands are all pasture but until a few decades ago they were mixed farms, and before the introduction of cheap mass produced bread, and supermarkets, oats were still a dietary staple in Northern England, Wales, Scotland (and maybe around Dartmoor & Exmoor too).

>>282053564
Someone needs to show Mori.

>>282059255
Maybe Shirley would change my mind, but I haven't really gotten the impression that she's much of a lolicon

>>282059312
If anything she's the opposite and a hag enjoyer, or at least a cake enjoyer.

>>282059352
Some of the bunny girls get old indeed.

>>282059312
Shirley is more of a cute daughter or little sister type of story and character than a lolicon's daughter or little sister sort of story or character.

>>282053564
You are a hero making the world a better place with this.

>>282059499
How do I hire a 13 year old English maid

>>282059312
If she loves that past and England she probably also likes the long history of girls being spanked in Europe. Maybe she wants to be a Victorian maid getting punished herself by a rich handsome landowner too.

>>282048845
Mori did have a letter of introduction/recommendation included as a story element in a one shot that was in the first volume of Shirley, though I guess that would have been around a year after Emma had started so maybe it's something that she noticed shortly after

>>282059848
Though it was also a story about a goofy prank loving kind of guy as their employer so he had written the butler's but not the maid's and wrote the butler's with him as a full associate with hiring powers rather than just a normal butler.

>>282053564
Great.

>>282057679
>How can I do this to Hina without dying....

>>282053564
hot

>>282057679
I miss the wet couch spanking.

Chapter 3: Brighton by the Sea (Part 1)

Hey OP

>>282063830
bonjour

>>282063792
Hi OP

>>282064131
ciao

>>282063806
She looks like an Alice
Pretty

>>282064208
UHHHH

And that's it. Cute sisters.
Do you put your foot in your mouth often?

>>282064076
Finally the other sister makes an appearance

>>282064246
Thanks, OP. Nyo.

>>282063971
Maybe love is still possible for our girl

>>282064246
what a fag, i guess eleanor is just not lucky with men.

>>282063971
he's literally me

>>282064246
Thanks OP
I don't think so, but I may well be wrong

>>282064246
This poor girl will never marry
Yes
Thanks as always OP!

>>282064714
But she's already married to me?

>>282064076
>Eleanor will be the only non titled member of her family
lmao. Girl can't catch a break. Really doesn't deserve all this suffering.

>>282053564
Heh nice, Vivi getting what she deserves. Splendid work. Thanks drawfag. I'll be honest, I probably won't get off to this. Just appreciate and find amusing. Is that Arthur spanking her?

>>282063833
Why are these cabanas on wheels?

>>282064246
Thanks OP
I wish I could put Eleanor's foot in my mouth

>>282064860
woah, are you me?

>>282065757
So ladies can get in dry shod, and then emerge where they have deep enough water to swim - a modesty thing.

>>282066961
>footfags

>>282064361
You have a butler named after the German word for "fast"?

>>282063792
Bright-ON, BEACH!

>>282064246
>Do you put your foot in your mouth often?
Metaphor, I hope?

>>282063971
>Mori went out of her way to make a romance for the loser girl
Mori's a kind woman after all. Still a disgusting pervert, though.

>>282064246
I like how he's not spineless. He's right, he has no reason to feel guilty for what happened. He behaved politely and congenially and as soon as Eleanor spoke up about it, he stopped politely too.

>>282064186
>Know them? Why, they're my parents!

>>282069234
>disgusting pervert
She's a wonderful pervert

>>282055434
I don't think anyone should fault Vivi for this moment. She was unironically in the right.

>>282065589
It's anyone really, I wasn't thinking on someone specific, could be (you).

any nudity?

>>282071044
Lots

>>282064246
Thanks, anonsito.

>>282064076
High class girls are on a level of their own.

>>282064132
>Already giving him the look
Good thing the first sister is here.

>>282064186
They're not cute, they're sexy!

>>282065589
>Is that Arthur spanking her?
You know why she never slides down the railing in front of Richard?
Now you know.

>>282053564
This makes me be able to finish the rest of the series with hope and happiness in my heart.

>>282072140
I wonder if they'll balloon like their mother later in life?

>>282064076
ENTER

>>282063869
>Oh no we're gonna get we

>>282073662
It's more the wind and lightning that they're worried about, though some probably are worried about hair getting wet when they didn't want it to.

>>282063934
imagine if he fell in love with Annie

>>282071006
>>282072308
I asked if it was Arthur because he wears a bow tie

>>282063889
>have you heard? It seems Miss Campbell, the Viscount's daughter, was caught alone with a half-naked young buck at the beach
>*gasps maliciously*
>is that why the young Jones heir...? Did he know, about her proclivities?

>>282064076
>...but is it truly surprising given her family's reputation?
>I heard her sister, the Countess, fornicates with foreign men from the colonies while dressed a la Grande Odalisque!
>*gasps indignantly*
>and that her husband, the Count, not only knows about it but has done nothing to stop her!
>*gasps exponentially*
>which sister is the one?
>does it matter? They are all cut from the same cloth.

And there, just like that Eleanor shall NEVER EVER get married thanks to Annie and Monica's combined efforts!

>>282053564
Naked Vivi version when?

>>282068043
>You have a butler named after the German word for "fast"?
Is this fucking Frieren?

>>282069234
Kindness and perversion often go hand in hand.
A decent woman is often too busy keeping her demons of perversion at bay to actually be kind.

>>282067189
Ah, OK - thanks.
So they used all this beautiful beach in Brighton just to haul little houses on wheels back and forth?

>>282076268
The dress and bloomers add a lot to it I think. It highlights the exposed butt and will draw eyes to it make Vivi more embarrassed.

>>282069234
Not a single one of her (known) fetishes is disgusting.

>>282068043

And an actual surname to boot:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnell

>>282076963
Can we at least remove her boots and socks?
