This is wonderful.

I am pretty sure that >>1419 is indeed a picture the guy took. These might also be from the event. No Mori, but eh...

As a side note: His cartoon alter ego looks alot like Hutch Owen, a character by Tom Hart

Okay, shutting up now.

>>1604 seems to be from the same event - The flowers are there both in the comic and the other photo, and that sign is in the comic (and I translated it).

Is that Kanehira on the left in >>1605, maybe?

>>1611 I'm willing to bet that's Kanehira on the left in >>1605, yes - and the guy in the checkered shirt is probably the guy talking to Mori in >>1588.

vc: chughment (Judgement Day, pronounced Arnold-style?)

I'm sure several of the readers wondered why "Chin Kasuo-kun" is a demonstration of Kanehira's "horrible taste in picking names".

The answer is that it's almost homonymous with a very rude word: "chinkasu", or "dirt accreted under the male foreskin" (i.e. smegma, but with an additional sense of almost deliberate uncleanliness).

It was not explained in the manga, because Kanehira doesn't explain it. I personally think it deserved a footnote, but the again...

Thanks for this, I had been wondering about it.

I only just now realized that this was also drawn by Kanehira:

Age for requesting assistance~!

I was actually thinking of requesting the same thing when I first saw this image on the other board. ; )

It is a lot more appropriate than the manga's WW1 era biplane.

Well, to be fair, when Mori wrote that bit, she hadn't yet "levelled up" and been "equipped" with her own personal researcher. The anime crew did a much more thorough job of researching the details. Hell, that's what they blew all the money on, and why there's no present appearance of hope for a second season.

You win some, you lose some.

Good work!

It really amazes me how Mori's artwork has changed for the better now (Volume 7) than her previous (Volume 1). William looks totally different (and more handsome) today. heh heh

From wich anime is that?
A model of the Henson carriage, powered by a steam engine actually lifted into the air.

>>1616
Volume 7? What are you talking about?

Every chapter after 43 will eventually be in Volume 7....

Oh yeah, didn't count correctly.

what is the title of the anime / manga?

Emma

Why are William's and Eleanor's eyes yellow? They should be green and blue. Otherwise, it would have been a great kawaii version of the main characters.

Every time I see Mori's self-image, I always get the impression that I'm looking at something crudely carved with a pen into one of the desktops in the physics lecture hall...

You guys are so awesome. It makes me fear that a commercial translation could never match this kind of quality and attention to detail.

Minor nitpick: ^_^;;

Hate to do this to you, but here is another error:
The name "Mrs. Trollope" may be an reference

Too late!

I will be willing to bet real money that any commercial translation (whether anime or manga) will steal.. *ahem* be strongly inspired by... the Guides.

I've thought that, as well. I do know we've pushed fan expectations pretty high in that regard; I feel very proud of that.

Yes...
Though the saying is that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", we do know that nothing says "We think you did a great job." quite as well as "We're going to rip off your work and present it as our own." :-)

or they could translate the Emma Victorian Guide.

>>1550

We'll get around to it. Some day.

No we won't. Even the Red-Headed League couldn't accomplish that task.

AWESOME

OH MY GAWD i would totally go there and spend a year's worth of income...thats so awesome..

If the show is so popular it warrants its own cafe, i REALLY hope it warrants them making another season of Emma! (hopehopehopehope)

paradise...

me want...

I can feel like densha otoko!

High Tea GET!

Although I'd probably be too self conscious about getting table manners right to really enjoy myself. :(

Uniforms are so authentic. But without head shots, I can't tell if they're dumpling or lettuce. T_T

Makes me want some tipsy cake... *drool*

I want to work here :[

Freak of Nature, just what do you do anyways? Leaving poor whispers on her own? I hope you're not looking up eligible women as a leisure activity!

Well, Emma Fan, I've always been far less than second fiddle on the manga translations. I came on board late in the game, for the anime translations - the manga has always been whispers' purlieu.

As for what I do... I'm an historian. Currently, I'm dealing with a seriously messed-up private life that is consuming my time and the lining of my stomach walls in equal measure.

...and I really shouldn't say this, but there are two Ns in "questionnaire" (the etymology, needless to say, is French).

Too late!

I know.

Oh, well, I suppose I ought to go off and devote myself to the pursuit of eligible women as a leisure activity.

Actually, that sounds nice - and I'm certainly very much in the process of becoming eligible, myself. Any bits of crumpet... *ahem* I mean, sweet ladies.... out there that might be interested?
