djl 's review for:
Emma, Vol. 2
by Kaoru Mori
So this volume had a LOT going on in it, which is understandable. It's also where Eleanor's insufferable older sister, Monica, enters the picture, much to my chagrin and annoyance. Slight spoiler alert, but her loving adoration of her younger sister will prove to be the cause of the greatest pain, so I hope she's able to live with herself after that pain. Also, that's the main reason she's the most annoying character rather than William's youngest sister, Vivi (who is also insufferable and likely needs either a finger-thump to the forehead or a pop on the rump).
Also, we finally get to meet William's mother, who I actually thought was dead when watching the anime (at least they made it seem like she was) until Mrs. Moelders and Emma visit "Mrs. Trollope." I do appreciate getting to see Emma start off with the Moelders family rather than in the anime where it was glossed over at the beginning of the second season. And the new character introductions were a nice transition as well. I have to say I was smitten with Hans in the anime, but that's just my own preference.
Having seen the anime, I know the ultimate end result, but it's nice to see the various differences in detail that the manga depicts. The ending of this omnibus certainly left off on a bit of a cliffhanger, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Mori continues the manga.
