I can't say how much I love this Manga. I loved Emma and wanted more. Now I get more. No Emma, but same time period!!!! love it!!!

It's not exactly the same decade. Otoyomegatari seems to be set in the 1860s, as you can see by the way the women in England are dressing, and Henry's friend said that it was after the Crimean War, which raged on between 1853 and 1856. Emma, on the other hand, is set in the turn of the century, the late 1890s to the start of the Edwardian Era (1901-1914).

First: Who's that Bitch? Even if you could be Soumas sister. You don't need to come and be a bitch like you own that house.
second: BOTH are in their 20s and in work. WHY DO THEY NEED PERMISSION FROM THEIR PARENTS TO LIVE TOGETHER?
If I were Souma, I would say "Okay, I can see you don't like the fact, that I want to live with a woman I like BEFORE marriage. This is not the 1950s where the parents decide my partner. I will live with her. And if everything works out, marriage wont be a problem. BYE FUCKERS!!!"
I totally got along with this. BUT THIS WHOLE STORY ABOUT NAO'S MOTHER AND NOT REVEALING??? HELLO?????
thats a bit more realistic. and well this is a slice of life so i had my doubts if they were evr gonna show the mother lol
They could've at LEAST show her. Like a photo or something like that. But this whole plot with Nao and his mother etc. :(
But the story itself was cute and calm and sugar.
Well it's unnecessary because the harsh truth is his mother never loved him and abandoned him since he was little but that's okay because he doesn't need her. He has his own family now.
Why would you be looking for someone who abandoned you tho. Nao chose to move on and Ai and Hiro gave him peace and happiness.
Nao chose to move on?? Didn't look like that for me~ in the last chapter, yes. But before....nope. He wanted answers. The only person who could give him, is his mother. I'm in a simular situation. My mother abonded me too. I asked her why. Never got an answer. But I asked and didn't run away.
If Nao had his peace with his mother, he didn't fight with Ai. But everyone blamed Ai. I can't understand that. Because Nao had the problem etc.
All about this was too fast for me.
