Emma, v. 6/Kaoru Mori

Emma, v. 6 by Kaoru Mori; manga, romance, historical fiction; 192 pages

In this volume, the story starts to take a melodramatic turn:  William has made up his mind to marry Emma, but he must first break off his engagement to the daughter of a powerful viscount. Of course, this viscount doesn't take this lightly, and decides to remove William's temptation by targeting Emma. 

This volume has all the hallmarks of a Victorian penny dreadful:  midnight rendezvous, kidnapping, false letters, and rebellions (the latter mostly on William's part).  Mori really starts ramping up to a climax here, so it will be interesting to see where the story goes from here.
