Ikoku Meiro no Croisee

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée (異国迷路のクロワーゼ Ikoku Meiro no Kurowāze?, lit. "The crossroads a foreign maze"), also titled in French as La Croisée dans un Labyrinth Étranger, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hinata Takeda about a young Japanese girl named Yune who find herself in late-19th century Paris. The manga has been adapted into an anime television series by Satelight, airing during the summer 2011 season.

This show... is the very definition of MOE. The heroine of this story is so cute and pure hearted that you simply can't help but go Awwww at many scenes. So this animation is about a little girl from Japan named Yune who chose to work as a sign girl (something like sales girl la.) in Paris. So a French traveler says YES I'LL TAKE YOU THERE and she ends up in a sign shop called Enseignes Du Roy in a place (something like a street of custom shops) called Galerie Du Roy. 


Personally, I've seen many animes and the animation and art of this one is just so-so. Acceptable but not that good. But who cares! As long as I can see Yune, it doesn't matter! <3 Anyway, the scenery is beautiful. I don't know about the accuracy of the setting but the background art is really detailed, down to the very bricks of the streets. The studio clearly did their homework. 


I did learn a few things though heee.
JAPONAISE!
ENSEIGNE!
GALERIE!
