Emma , a Victorian Romance
Fri 2012/02/10 08:27 JST
As Valentines Day is coming , I wanted to say thank you to Kaoru Mori and her
fantastic love story that is Emma.
Her manga serie touched me deeply , and I thing it was the best love story
ever . And the quality of her work so meticulous ,she had to make a lot of
research to illustrate so well London during the Victorian era .
I thought her images were wonderful , and was always totally amazed
by the details .
When I saw the maid outfit from Volks recently , I couldn't resist of recreating
Emma's character . So here is DD Neris ,cosplaying Emma and my Kujo cosplaying
Hans , the one who felt in love with Emma but sadly for him , her heart already
belong to someone else .
Homage to Kaoru Mori ,my favourite artist ^_^
A lovely cosplay by Neris & Kujo! I absolutely loved watching Emma and would love to get my hands on the manga sometime :D
The manga is incredible , so good . I recommend it ^_^
Thank you for the comments !

my review of Emma - http://tinyurl.com/76p7elc
Oooooo!! Is this the new "Respected Maid" set from Volks?? It looks awesome!
Yes it is ! I couldn't resist even if I'm afraid it will stain my girl T_T
Oh how nice! How has the stain issue gone? Was this set lined at all? Did you get any problems with it yet?
Didn't remove it yet ...I am too afraid O_o It is lined only in the upper body part ,NOT THE ARMS @_@ I had to put a long sleeve shirt to Neris to protect her body .
Hey Salica! Just to let you know, I got this outfit home yesterday! And since I wasn't sure how the staining possibilities were for this, I decided to test it out. I wrapped up a spare DD hand and one of the old feet Sango replaced inside one arm sleeve and the bottom part of the dress and left them in there with some weight on top for 2 hours. After 2 hours, there were no stains at all. So I wrapped them back up and left them inside the outfit overnight. And this morning there were still NO STAINS at all! =3 So don't worry! Your Emma should be just fine!
Thank you for the scientific experience ^_^ I just received my full body suit yesterday ..so I might use it under it anyway , or under something else if I am more afraid of another outfit ...just thought about one I've been not using for a while because of my fears @_@
Oh very nice! A full suit sounds like a good idea for certain types of clothing. I'm curious about this set you said you've feared... will we get to see it in the near future? =3
Is she sewing? Nice!
Thanks!
Very cool effect! Just like an old vintage photograph!
Thank you , I really like it too ^_^
This is a pretty neat looking outfit! Will we get to see more of it in the future?
It is a beautiful outfit ! I will try to take more pictures of my Emma , I really like how it tuned out ^_^
I agree with you, these two look very good together with these outfits. I hope to see more sometime! =3
That's a good idea ...I might reproduce parts of the story with those 2 . That would be cool ...I think ^_^
Very nice! I have not seen Emma yet but I hear very good things about it. And if you say it's good, that's good enuff for me. =3
Neris looks so nice in that set! Is it the new Volks set that I bought? if so, what body is Neris using? I was wondering how it would look on a DDII with an M-bust since it says its for the DDdy girls. Neris sure looks good in it tho. =3
Thank you for your trust about my manga and anime review ^_^
Yes it is the outfit you bought , and Neris has the only DDdy body that I have ,Miu's body . It has to be a DDdy body or the outfit would be too big I think , but you might want to try it on Sango with the smaller breast ...you'll see ^_^
Hmm, I guess I can always switch Sango back to the L-bust to see how fits then. But when it gets here, I'll try it out and let you know! =3
Yes , let me know !
awwww I watched the anime, it was interesting :3
I don't think this anime is for everybody but when you love it ,it's unforgettable ^_^
it's a bitter sweet anime :3
She turned out so well! Very, very nice.
I really did enjoy the first season of "Emma," not so much the second though. Do the anime and manga differ drastically?
Thank you ! I preferred the manga , even if they did a good job turning it into an anime ^_^
Wonderful cosplay! As someone hailing from England, I adored Emma's story.It is still one of my most loved Manga/anime.
Thank you very much ! I'm happy to know that you are a fan of Emma too ^_^
Very pretty! Kaoru Mari's art is so beautiful and detailed in Otoyomegatari, and Emma looks to be a very charming romance story. I really hope to have a chance to read/watch it soon.
Your DD did a good job with making that doilie...(:
Thank you ! I really think Kaoru Mori's art is amazing .She put so much effort in the details , really amazing !
She looks so pretty dressed like Emma! Good job.
Thank you so much !!
Awesome cosplay! Looks just like her!
Thank you , I was really happy with the final result ^_^
She looks just like her!!! =O amazing!
Thank you ! I'm so happy that I think I'll keep Neris dressed like this for a while ^_^
Nicely done. I liked the Emma manga a lot.
Thank you ! I'm always happy to know how people liked Emma too ^_^
i wish for a DD-fied Miss Adele from Moelders Household :)
Ha!Ha! I wished I could DDfied every characters of this anime . I really liked Adele too ^_^
yay a fellow Adele fan \(^0^)/ i like her for her serious & calm demeanor
like a certain maid said to Adele in the manga, "when they are single, men like to be with the fun type. but when they want to settle down,they will go for the stoic type" :D
and oh, i wish for DD-fied younger version of Madam Kelly Stowner too. she's adorable in the prequel manga :3
I am so glad that you did this! I have wanted to see someone do an Emma cosplay for their doll as soon as that maid outfit was put up by Volks. It's just perfect! Emma is such a wonderful story. *___* It made me cry so many times.
It made me cry many times too !!!! I am really happy that you liked my Emma's cosplay , it might be more than a cosplay now , I cannot remove this maid set from Neris , I like her so much in it ! I will try to take more pictures eventually ^_^ Thank you so much for your comments !
this post had me at "Emma" ~♥♥♥
also, Shiori and Bride's Story are awesome too.. and omg, have you seen Mori-sensei's design of Disney's Sleeping Beauty?!?!
Thank you chise!! I LOVE Bride's story too , I am such a fan of her art ! I didn't know about Sleeping beauty , thanks for mentioning it . She did a great job on that design too . I wish I had her talent T_T
OMG, have u seen a clip of her working on an illustration? There's no screentones! She fills in the patterns and crosshatches herself
Wonderful pictures! <3 Neris looks fantastic and this maid outfit is perfect to portray Emma. I haven't read or seen Emma yet, but your post has inspired me to check it out. The story sounds wonderful and something I would like very much. ^_^
Thank you very much !! I recommend strongly Emma's manga and anime , if you can discover that because of me ,I would be so happy !!!!!
Je dois avouer que je ne connais pas le travail de Kaoru Mori mais en tout cas la ressemblance est frappante, beau travail! :)
Je ne sais pas si tu aimes les animés qui se passe pendant la période Victorienne , mais c'est une très bonne histoire . Et les dessins et l'histoire des mangas Bride's story sont un oeuvre d'art ...c'est vraiment la perfection pour moi ^_^
