Line 30:
* [[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.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Despite the [[Shown Their Work|usually high quality of research]] in the manga, chapter 2 featured a model aircraft which looked nothing like the glider designs of the 1890's and more like a [[World War I]]-era biplane.
* [[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...
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Meganekko]]: Emma
* [[Meido]]: Emma and about half the cast
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: [[Yumi Touma]] (Emma), [[Sanae Kobayashi]] (Eleanor), [[Yuji Ueda]] (Hakim), [[Naomi Wakabayashi]] (Tasha), [[Noriko Shitaya]] (Colin), [[Yoko Honna]] (Sarah), [[Sayaka Ohara]] (Grace)
* [[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.
Line 60 ⟶ 58:
* [[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]]
* [[Seinen]]: You'd think it would be [[Shojo]] or [[Josei]], given its focus on romance, but according to [[The Other Wiki]], [[https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Emma_28manga29 it isn't]]
 
* [[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]]''.
Line 69 ⟶ 65:
** The original official spelling was "[http://iitran.secchan.net/img/src/1113395014675.png Jounse]," so this might not be as ludicrous as one might think.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Vivian.
* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: {{spoiler|William is just a bit too late to catch Emma when she leaves town.}}
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Eleanor.
* [[Uptown Girl]]: Inverted, the girl is the poor maid and the guy is the wealthy gentleman from the Ritz.
