Reviews
"There is a lot to admire in the book's gorgeousness. The art is delicate, almost otherworldly, and incredibly detailed, which brings to life the historical. There is a feeling of immersion into Emma's world, which helps in retelling a 200-year-old story in a contemporary format. The writing is crisp and the translation of the language from Austen's time to 2015 is superb. Lastly, the added bonus content on the adaptation of the book, character sketches, creating characters, and how to create a manga page is perfect for those new to manga." - No Flying No Tights
"Fun, fast-paced, and visually engaging, Emma is a great adaptation that made me see the original in a new, clearer way. Austen fans and newbies alike should make a place for it on their keeper shelves." - All About Romance
