The end of the 19th Century, a time when Japanese culture was in fashion throughout Europe. Yune, a young Japanese girl, away from home and all alone in France, begins work at a small craft store named 'Enseignes du Roy' in the heart of the city. Through the help of her master, Claude, she works to overcome her confusion among such a different way of life. These are her memories of her stay in Paris.

Volume 2 is finally finished. Volume 1 reuploaded to saver host.

I neglected work on this very long though the major translations was already done in march.
If you check the scanlation you'll know why. Mainly the redrawing of backgrounds took a lot of time, and the last chapter had about 30 pages of 40 which required redrawing.
That really didn't motivate me and you can say that every single page of the last chapter really needed an hour to get edited.
I know there's another group trying their skills on this title, so tell me in case they steal the images from my scanlation for their own version. It would probably save them hours of work to do, well...

Both volumes contain colored pages and artwork at the end, thanks to nukumi again for finding them on japanese Hinata sites.
Some can be used as desktop backgrounds.

I don't know if I can expect much from the anime version, I actually expect the worst. This title is far better than average shojo manga and the artwork is extremely detailed and sophisticated. Also, you can't say that both main characters have simple personalities and motivations, Yune is not strictly moe and Claude is not strictly tsundere, they both are broken characters hiding a deeper background as you will see in the last chapter.
The anime might just feed another moe geeked audience with a simpled version of the manga story. One of the reasons why I stopped watching anime for some time is the bad adapting of mangas and the fixation at moe themes...

I expected volume 3 to come out this year, it always takes 2 years for a Croisee tank to be released in Japan, but no signs yet. Maybe in September or the series is on hiatus. I have 2 magazine chapters continuing the story but I rather wait for the volume to be released to have high quality scans. Expect us to continue the series, though it took us so long now to release the second volume and scanlating it was disproportionate working time.

Enough with the bullshit.
Thanks for waiting to the patient followers and everyone else can rot in hell.
