Anime Series: Ikoku Meiro no Croisée

“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.
