RoseMary's manga / #Slice of Life(571)

The art-style is so expressive and passionate, I think it expands the feelings of the story making it even more interesting and full of sentiment! It really pulls you in...I couldn't take my eyes away and I ended up reading the available chapters all at once! 8 Volumes (Complete) - Waiting for the rest...

A really nice story! Such a pleasant reading! I enjoyed both anime and manga. For those like me who like historical stories and, you know, to watch period drama and such, in particular a victorian-era romance like this, I totally recommend it! Personally, I really liked the whole atmosphere / setting of the story and the cast of characters! And, above all, I really appreciated the author's care for details: one can see the efforts she put into research! > Note: Vol. 8-10 are "Emma: Further Tales". They fill in details from the manga, both before and after the events in that storyline. Adapted to Anime

8 Volumes (Complete)

Such a pity that it was left like this when probably only the last chapter is missing! Hope it will be uploaded soon...

(()) Collection of stories: • Ch. 1 & 4.5 Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light (Hotaru no Mori E) (Summer story) - Beautiful sad story! Especially, the anime movie has great visuals and soundtrack! My only complaint is that somehow [SPOILER] Gin's death seemed so random and sudden (just because a random human boy was tripping and he grabbed him!) that I didn't have the time to properly feel the moment and actually cry...at the most it left me with a bittersweet, melancholic feeling! Having said that, it still remains a beautiful story with tragic ending! 5 Anime movie: available at kissanime • Ch. 2 Overhearing a Flower Song (Spring story) - School Life // Music 3 • Ch. 3 The Fallling of Autumn Leaves (Autumn story) - School Life // Childhood Friends 3 • Ch. 4 Deepening the Scar (Winter story) - School Life // Reunion // Siblings // Incest // Brother x Sister // Bittersweet 3 Note: Apart from the "Hotarubi no Mori e - Special Chapter" (Ch. 4.5), the reprint contains also two other additional new stories called "Taion no Kakera" and "Hoshi mo Mienai", which are not scanlated, it seems...
