A young Japanese girl is raised in America until her parents move back to Japan. She keeps to herself, because everyone tells her she is a foreigner. She doesn't like being so restricted in what she can do and what she has to learn. She moves to the city and becomes a guide in a department store for foreigners. She meets a Japanese man who likes her and they talk, then date, and marry.

Why I recommend it: Moving to another country is hard and adapting to different customs is tough. It's a story about both acceptance and love.
