Victorian Romance Emma: Difference between revisions

 

Not to be confused with [[Jane Austen]]'s ''[[Emma]]''.

{{tropelist}}

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Especially in regards to the ending. The manga ends without a wedding or [[Distant Finale]], at least at the time when the anime was produced. The last few side chapters wrapped it up with a wedding.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: William first meets Emma when she opened the door just as he was ready to knock. Dorothea almost ran Wilhelm down with her horse when she first saw him.

* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]: Tasha. Her coworkers consider her only a little better than useless.

* [[Distant Finale]]: While it's not THAT distant, the 3-chapter finale covering {{spoiler|William and Emma's wedding}} at the end of volume 10 apparently takes place several years after the end of the main part of the series, judging from how the children have aged.

* [[Eternal Sexual Freedom]]: In the manga Dorothea has a very frank attitude toward sex, though this may be partly to emphasize her "foreignness". ''Standing naked in front of a window'' is probably going over the line, though. Then there's the servant girls bathing together and openly talking about how much they enjoy sex...

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Eleanor and Hans to William and Emma respectively

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Johanna, the Malders' head cook, claims to be this, but we only have her word for it.

* [[Knight Templar Big Brother|Knight Templar Big Sister]]: Monica, to Eleanor, though not quite as extreme as most examples.

* [[Large Ham]]: Monica.

* [[Meganekko]]: Emma

* [[Meido]]: Emma and about half the cast

* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Both the manga and anime have scenes where characters have their corsets laced. In the manga, the author explains that she is [[Author Appeal|fond of such scenes.]]

* [[Old Retainer]]: Stephens to the Joneses.

* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Grace has to fill in for her absent mother and busy father with Vivian and Colin. She might be a bit ''too'' good at it. William also catches a little of this.

* [[Scenery Porn]]

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Rather obsessively in some respects. And then the translators Stateside decide to have Richard Jones say things like 'Blimey' just because he's British. Because, you know, people of his class would've said that.

* [[Show Within a Show]]: The characters attend operas and plays pretty regularly. One manga chapter features ''[[The Prisoner of Zenda]]'' and another, ''[[The Barber of Seville]]''.

** Also little Ilse Malders, who is quite shy.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: One fan translation, while very good in most respects, insisted on the spelling 'Jounes.'

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Vivian.

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Eleanor.

* [[Uptown Girl]]: Inverted, the girl is the poor maid and the guy is the wealthy gentleman from the Ritz.
