* Based on Takeda Hinata's Ikoku Meiro no Croisee (La Croisee dans un Labyrinthe Etranger) manga The story takes place in the second half of the 19th century, as Japanese culture gains popularity in the West. A young Japanese girl, Yune, accompanies a French traveller, Oscar, on his journey back to France, and offers to help at the family's ironwork shop in Paris. Oscar's nephew and shopowner Claude reluctantly accepts to take care of Yune, and we learn how those two, who have so little in common, get to understand each other and live together in the Paris of the 1800s.
This is a very interesting and refreshing anime series where a young, bright, doll-like Japanese girl decided to follow an elderly French man back to France in order to work in his iron-plate shop together with his grandson. This anime has a sweet and clean story plot. Overall this anime series is a pleasant genre to watch for all.
