I did manage to go shopping enough to visit my local no-longer-indie bookstore, instead of phoning them, but apparently there is also plague at Monkeycat Towers, so there was no anime.
Read (manga): A Bride’s Story vol 15 (Kaoru Mori): Smith and Talas get back to England and are greeted with as much warmth as you would expect for a respectable young man bringing a foreign hussy to meet his family in mid-C19 Britain. Also the manga-ka is distressed that half a century invalidates all her research on Emma. Also also, Ali FTW.
Written (new project): 317.
