Preliminary (2/12 eps)
Review is up to Date Episode
At this time, not much have change in the basic impression or story.

This Anime is beautiful and adorable! The collision of 2 Cultures.
You will see an Japanese Young Girl finding the smallest things to be an adventure and exiting. Be prepared to be hooked

This is a very warm, (adorable is the perfect word) Anime. I felt so connected to the story and it's the same connection I got from watching Spirited Away.
Big ++ in this anime, while you watch this, you see traditional stuff in the anime, how France looked like, how the Japanese lived and how it does not fit in the France society, and so on. It's very entertaining to see and very nice to get to know and learn.

Story: 8/10
Yune is still struggling and the story has not changed much. Still an 8.

The story of a young Japanese girl during the 19th Century named Yune. She comes to France with a traveller named Oscar. She offers her help to the Ironwork Shop whom Claude owns, the nephew of Oscar.
While trying to help, conflicts occur due to the major difference in cultures and way of living.

The story is very interesting when you starting to watch it, and you definitely want to watch more. Yune is well behaved Japanese girl who knows the Japanese traditional manners very well. Which makes it very weird for Claude whom have lived in France his whole life and is accustomed to his culture.
The beauty of this anime, is the collision of the cultures. Yune want to learn as much as she can from the French Cultures, like the food they eat, shops, marketing, clothes. And the director makes just the smallest thing look like such a big step for this little girl and it's just heart-warming to watch.

Art: 10/10
It's beautiful. A Japanese made Anime/Manga that really have got a lot of the French 19th Century Culture in movement in this anime. It's very good detail. And Yune, this small Japanese girl in her beautiful Kimonos shines on the streets of Paris. Like how the sun shines in a cold morning. That how good the art shows the difference of France and Japan Cultures.

Sound: 10/10
Absolutely outstanding. I love each time they show which episode and the episode name before starting the episode, they have a French, a Real French accent voice speaking the Title. It's perfect.
The Opening songs are beautiful and fits the theme. It's very original in my ears of hearing Openings.

Character: 9/10
Yunu, is the star in this anime. Yes a type of Loligirl, but I couldn't care less on what the characters represent in a matter of general Anime. Because this Anime is so beautiful and unique to my eyes.
A young Japanese Girl with only knowledge from Japan, in France. Try to imagine that and let your mind go wild.
She is every well-behaved, knows how the Japanese cultures works like being a housekeeper, bowing, eating food. Apologizing and so on.
Collides with Claude whom knows the French ways. Dry bread with sliced cheese. Coffee, eating soup with spoon. The Ironwork shop, and a lot of other things.
And Oscar, that acts like a very nice Uncle to Yune. Telling her about the simple things in France that seems so mysterious and big in Yunes eyes. And how hard she tries to be the French Girl and trying to fit in to the French culture.
I miss a few more characters. But it's only been 2 episodes. It surely will be more.

Enjoyment: 10/10
3 minutes played in the first episode, and I feel just so happy and warm that I haft to smile to how adorable Yune is. I'm hooked man. So hooked, I did not take my eyes of for 1 second during my watching time. It's 100/100 if I could rate that.

Overall: 10/10
I think this anime is a definite 10. The Story is interesting, well thought up and can develop in many ways.
The art is fantastic.
The characters are adorable, classic in the way they should be because this is a historical Anime that occurs in the 19th Century.
My enjoyment is, I want all the episodes now, and watch it all now!

One great anime! This is a Seinen Anime, meaning this Anime is dedicated to an Audience of 18+male. It is similar to that, but I can see that anyone could like this. Because this is clearly an anime for everyone! It should be Josei aswell if anything. Josei/Seinen.

*Will be updated* Cheers :)
