This volume continues to present side stories of the peripheral characters of Emma, among them Erich and his squirrel, the Merediths and their maids, and a trio of opera singers, as well as the story of how William met Hakim. I almost rated this a 4, simply because it's harder to absolutely love a series of side stories instead of the orig. chronicles of Emma. But the fact is, I love this world. Kaoru Mori is so attuned to her characters and the details. She can tell a story with no words for many panels (sometimes pages) and still keep it clear and entertaining. Her attention to detail amazes me, and her ability to inject subtle humor and outright cuteness. She could manga-up the phonebook and make it intricate and fun for me. And of course, her silly afterword manga is perfect as always. Sometimes I think, as much as I love the books, I love her afterword manga more. I was very disappointed to find out that there is only one more volume and then she's done with Emma. Don't know what I'll do with myself. Think I'm going to have to move on to Shirley Volume 1. Wow... another beautiful, fun, thoughtful collection of short stories from the world of Emma. There's a strong focus on Dorothea and Wilhelm's family/household in this collection, but we also find out how Hakim and William became friends, and we get a two-chapter story about a love triangle featuring some very minor side characters. The art work is absolutely amazing, and my only complaint was I wanted some resolution with the actors' story. I can't wait for the next volume! What a great series! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The critically acclaimed series resumes with a collection of short stories focusing on the lives of several supporting characters. Most of the stories focus on the Merediths, the German family that Emma worked for. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Specific to Vol.09: We get an omake story having nothing at all do with any character introduced in Emma but feels like it belongs here somehow by virtue of its art style and setting... and it's cute so whatever--I liked it.
Dorothea is Dorothea yet again.
Mori-sensei becomes too lazy to write dialogue and each short story has an extended sequence of voiceless panels.
Also, Theo the Chipmunk (I bet you didn't realize he was a real character! Like any good manga, if they have a name, they're a character) goes off on an adventure to be free and live in the wild as a chipmunk should once more! *cue the Vivaldi* Except... Theo is domesticated kitten (see earlier scene: Theo Takes a Bath?) who manages to narrowly escape a horrific death. Beautiful. ( )
