During the second half of the 19th century, Europe became intrigued by the Japanese culture. A Japanese girl named Yune travels to France, where she started working in the lower parts of a town in Paris at a craft store called Enseignes du Roy. She and the store owner named Claude communicates with each other in order to get over their cultural differences. This is the story of Yune's stay in Paris.
Based on manga with same title. Somehow slice of life'ish, young girl trying to adept French lifestyle n French man trying to understand japanese culture she brought with her etc.
She was brought to France as a advertiser girl to promote Japanese culture product during the height of japanese culture in the west. Claude doesnt feel easy with her around at first due to cultural clash as well as her clumsiness nature which bring him bad impression to him until he accidentally sold her kimono, a momento of her late mother. Feeling sorry as he try to return the money for the kimono, he is stop by her stating business is all bout trust n loyal to customer. Thus Claude expression toward her change brighter n determined to buy that kimono back whenever there is chances.
It a great manga to read. well at least for me. not sure how anime will turn to be.
