Fresh out of a long-term relationship, twenty-two-year old MariNaomi finds herself in San Jose, California.

It doesn't take long for Mari to find new loves, and a new jobat a hostess bar for Japanese expatsin a bid to learn the Japanese language and culture. Turning Japanese moves as Mari does, from San Jose to Tokyo, as she tries to get by in an unfamiliar city with rudimentary language skillsall in the hopes of finally connecting with her Japanese relatives without the use of her mother as a translator.
