A French father, and a Japanese mother. She grew up in France her entire life, speaks French fluently, Japanese well enough but with occasional odd phrasing, and has spent years imagining Japan through stories from her mother. Unfortunately, those stories have also convinced her that everyone bows constantly.
Élodie Akiyama Laurent crossed an ocean to start a new life in Japan.
She expected culture shock.
She expected homesickness.
She expected getting lost in school hallways.
She did not expect Sano Manjiro, Mikey, known throughout Tokyo as the former leader of the infamous Toman. Yet despite his reputation, she finds herself drawn to the boy who waits outside her ballet practices, learns French just to make her smile, and somehow always knows when she needs someone beside her.
As the seasons change, friendships deepen, and feelings grow impossible to ignore, Élodie discovers that home isn't always a place.
Sometimes it's a person.
