Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate this occasion we have decided to mark it with a romance story, and today that is "Emma" by Kaoru Mori. This love story of a maid and a merchant is NOT inspired by the Jane Austen novel despite sharing the same namesake, the same genre, same vibes.

First half of the show we talk about Emma the manga as our long comic for the book club, and second half of the show we discuss the anime adaptation. We'll also talk about some ACTUAL classic literature pieces that got adapted into manga/anime.

And, no spoilers, but my brain hasn't broken this hard since we had a boxing kangaroo and a flying bear.
