In her after word to this volume, the author includes a comment someone made about the story to her as she was writing, that it moves at top speed for a bicycle, but that's part of the fun. A lot of attention is given to the details, which isn't something you often see in a manga series. This

Mori dubbed this the "all-crying volume." That's totally accurate, and I loved it. Monica, Eleanor's older sister, kicks a lot of ass! Dorothea is beyond awesome, and I love absolutely adore William's mother. I can't wait to read the next one!

This was definitely my favorite part so far. Oh, the forbidden romance! It's all so tragic and I love it all so. :D

If I could, I would give this installment a 4.5, but because I loved the tension created in this section of the story. Emma returns to London as the lady's maid and side kick for a wealthy lady with a bit of a surprise.
The previous installment really was a bridge to this later moment in the story.

In this volume, Emma makes a trip back to London with her new employers, the Molders. Once there, she is cajoled into playing the part of a ladies companion to Mrs. Trollope, an eccentric friend of the Molders, for an evening party where her son plans to announce his engagement. Mrs. Molder and
The story picked up momentum once again in this volume. There was a lot of emotion in this volume, and you are left wondering what will happen next. Mori does such an excellent job with the artwork, and I am amazed at some of the backdrops of London in several drawings. Also, she is doing a nice job contrasting artistically the lives of the wealthy, aristocratic class with that of their servants. I continue to enjoy the series and am moving on to the next volume.

Mrs. Trollope get Emma all fixed up for the party with a fancy dress, and new hairstyle and they take away her glasses. Hmmmm....Emma seems to look rather good as a lady of quality. Of course, since she is back in London, it is inevitable that she and William meet once again. The story picked up momentum once again in this volume.

The momentum picks up after the setup of the setting in the previous volume.

If you weren't able to put Emma, Vol. 3 down, you may want to take a lunch break before starting on Vol. 4. Equally as exciting and romantic, Vol. 4 features more Eleanor swooning and irresponsible William romancing (which I really thought was the best part of the series but I digress). Readers of

Vol. 4 will also be treated to the introduce of two power female characters, "the Duchess of Girl's Love" Monica and "Any excuse to be naked and sultry and say the name "Wilhelm" in an impossibly alluring way" Dorothea. Show Less
