“Paris, at the end of the 19th century. The silhouette of a small girl named Yune can be seen under the roof of the Galerie du Roy. Only a few Parisians, however, know of her arrival.”
Claude, a sign maker working in the Gallery, is surprised to find that Oscar, his grandfather, has returned from his trip to Japan with an extra guest. Yune, a young Japanese girl from a rich family, has come to Paris to work for Claude at his shop in an effort to learn about life in the city she adores.
A slow-paced slice-of-life series, La croisée dans un labyrinthe étranger (the crossroads in a foreign labyrinth) deals with Claude and Yune and their efforts to learn about each others’ vastly different cultures as they grow close.

Following the hasty escape of her mother and her mother’s lover from authorities, Matsumae Ohana is thrust from urban familiarity into the care of her grandmother, a woman she’s never met before, who runs a hot spring inn in the countryside. While expecting hospitality on arrival, what awaits her is disapproval seemingly passed on from the flaky relationship between her mother and grandmother.
With the discovery that her residence at the inn is subject to the condition that she earns her keep, and with poor first impressions with the people working there, this story will surely be one of the challenges faced in adapting to one’s environment, the opportunity to change one’s life and finding a place to call home.

Having commenced my journey of blogging on the subjects of both gaming and figures, I decided that my next post should feature anime and get the trio under my beginner’s literary belt. On this decision I realised that finding a specific topic for this post would be far harder than the previous two, as both of those were influenced by recent factors (namely the purchase of my figure and the release of some alpha screenshots of the Cataclysm expansion for World of Warcraft that I spied on Kotaku) but attempting to write a review on an anime that I was currently watching would be far too much of an incomplete insight for my tastes. Instead, it would have to be a series that I had completed and could remember sufficiently to be able to feast upon with my pen (or keyboard, whatever!) Now with me being an indecisive bugger at the best of times, accompanied by the unweildy library of anime series that I have seen, I decided to take an easy way out and asked a few friends for some suggested series, placing my faith on their (hopeful) good taste. I then rolled a virtual die (ah the wonders of the internet!) and made my selection thus. So, without further a due, I will provide you with my insight into Gainax‘s Hanamaru Kindergarten.
