*I received a copy of this manga from the publisher and NetGalley for my honest review*
I have not read the original story of Emma by Jane Austen so this is strictly a review of the manga.
I loved this. I truly did. I was a cute little story that had a deeper meaning behind it. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I'm not huge on classics but I love manga so I figured this would be a nice fit for me. And it was. I managed to get through the story quickly and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Any problems that I would have had if this were written today aren't really an issue. This is how things were back in Emma's time. It made sense to have it written this way.
I probably wouldn't read this again anytime soon but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to read more classics but can't seem to get into them. I would like to check out some more Manga Classics soon.

Manga versions of classics - a pretty good idea if you ask me, as I am a big fan of manga. And Emma is one of my favorite classics. So, naturally I couldn't resist this one.
As for the story, I need not elaborate Austen's wonderful classic tale. This manga stays pretty faithful to the storyline, and is a good summary of the story, with key events covered and rendered with the same flair as Austen did. It was delightful to refresh the story, with this manga.
But along with story and progression, a good manga/graphic novel has to have good artwork too. Half of the charm for me when I read a visual representation of a story, is how it is rendered. The artwork, in this case, did not satisfy me. I felt it was a bit crude, not the beauty that I've come to expect from manga/manhwa. The artist hasn't utilized the full scope of possibilities when it comes to such a story. I expected lush backgrounds, beautiful art, but it was just not up to the mark.
For the story and plot, I loved this book. But the artwork disappointed me.
Received a free ARC from Udon Entertainment via Netgalley; this does not influence my opinions or review.

I would like to thank netgalley and UDON Entertainment for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a mediocre adaptation, nothing really stands out. I did enjoy the ending.

I enjoyed reading this. Emma is one of my favorite novels from Jane Austen, so there wasn’t much this manga could do wrong. And it was all I would have expected from a manga, to be honest. The characters were made a bit more extravagant which is normal in manga. They have followed the story the way it is, and they used the best and important scene from the book.
If you enjoyed reading Emma, I would recommend reading this manga. But I would also recommend reading the book before the manga, because in the book Emma’s thoughts are more explained and you understand her actions more than the way they are explained in the manga.

Logo no início dessa edição, o tradutor comenta no prefácio sobre a importância do livro dentro da obra completa da Austen, que este é o mais "austeniano" dos romances dela e que recebeu críticas com relação à narrativa parada demais, em que nada acontece além de contemplação e comentários a respeito do que se observa. Não é exatamente a melhor maneira de atrair um novo leitor, mas como gosto de digressões foi um chamariz e tanto.
Realmente acontecem poucas coisas, mas sinto falta da contemplação e panorama da Austen a respeito da sociedade como um todo e de seus tipos mais específicos. O que tem de sobra no livro são diálogos que pouco avançam o enredo e muito dizem sobre os personagens.
É impressionante o domínio e a noção que a Austen tem dos próprios personagens. Depois de Orgulho e Preconceito, esse é o romance dela de que mais gostei. Emma foi uma protagonista maravilhosa e os (inúmeros) defeitos só fizeram dela uma personagem mais completa e verossímil. Ela é o ponto alto do livro, mas o Sr. Knightley também foi excelente de acompanhar.
