Annotation
A graphic novel retelling of the classic tale of youthful folly and
romantic exuberance, in which Emma Woodhouse's impulsive
matchmaking stirs up trouble in regency England.
Summary
When her former governess finds happiness as the bride of a local
widower, the brilliant and beautiful Emma Woodhouse — one of Jane
Austen's immortal creations — flatters herself that she alone has
secured the marriage and that she possesses a special talent for
bringing lovers together. The young heiress next busies herself
with finding a suitable husband for her friend and protégé, Harriet
Smith, setting off an entertaining sequence of comic mishaps and
misunderstanding in this sparkling comedy of English- village
romance. Beneath its considerable wit, the novel is also the story
of a young woman's progress toward self-understanding.

Author Bio
Tse: - Po Tse is a veteran in the comic-activists
community. His uncanny talent of drawing authentic shojo style as a
male artist has made him a rare breed among his peers. Also known
as Lemon Po to his followers and friends, Po's drawing style is
inspired by classic manga artists of the 80's. Aside from being a
shojo comic artist, Po is a domestic husband who enjoys making
desserts to delight his friends and family.
