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: ^_^;;
Thus Miss Hartwick solitary walks are quite unusual.

Corrected

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

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?

"I'm sold" means "You have convinced me -- I'm going to change it." I already have, actually.

I found three errors.

(a) 187.png, Title
ホイスト is surely "whist".
This game came to Japan in Meiji era. Those days, Japanese translators tended to use ホ, ホァ, ホィ... for "wh-". (Even today, some Japanese pronounce "ho" when they read "wh-.")
I have read a Japanese translation of Jane Austen's novel, in which people were playing "ホイスト". And Japanese dictionary says "ホイスト" is "whist."

(b) 188.png, panel 3
"European manga" should be "European movies." (I have typed "映画", not "漫画".)

(c) 188.png, panel 4
"主人" is not "husband" here. It's "master (employer of maids)."
The translation may be something like:

Agreed. Thank you.

So is Mori gay or what?

Signs point to yes. :)

I read somewhere that she has a bf but maybe I was dreaming.

>>1500
Doesn't mean she can't be attracted to women, too. ;)

>>1501
But being gay, by definition, would exclude her from being interested in men...

Ah, silly talk. I think she's just a very friendly person who is interested in lots of stuff.

She might be a normal perverted woman. Or she might be bisexual. But she seems a little gay to me, I dunno. I mean, check out how she draws herself. Not male, not female but leaning towards male. The girl has some gender issues, yo.

I'm straight and I'll randomly get all ";333; YOURE CUTE~~~ ahh~~ <3" on girls.

*__*; She's probably just friendly or bi.

This needs more than just those four screens to be practical.

Well, I burst out laughing.

Interesting comparison

What a nonsense I'd say ;P

What series is that on the right anyway?

O.O;;; i hope your kidding...

Thats Revolutionary Girl Utena...great series, but really any relation between that and Emma is just silly fun ^_^

So cute!
Now where is one of our lovely Emma?

The amount of detail and skill that goes into resin models never ceases to amaze me. I LOVE how her skirt billows out...it looks so real.

Forget that! Where do I order? :D
