What it is:
moe comedy drama
In the late 19th century, Japanese culture is gaining popularity in the West. A young Japanese girl, Yune, accompanies a French merchant, Oscar, back to France to gain experience working at his family's ironwork shop in Paris. Oscar's nephew, the current shopowner, Claude, reluctantly accepts her.

Stars young seiyuu Touyama Nao (19), with Yuuki Aoi (also 19) as her French friend Alice. Also starring Kondou Takashi and Yahagi Sayuri.

Antcipation Factor:
Directed for Satelight by Yasuda Kenji (Shugo Chara), and written by Satou Junichi (Aria) and Ikeda Mamiko (Emma, Hanasakeru Seishounen). The story and Yuuki Aoi made me interested in this show, but the staff-list makes me eager for episode one.
