Beautifully drawn anime, and thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. I am definitely going to watch this.

I couldn't help but see a black, short-haired, mini-Victorique though. Yune is adorable. I especially enjoyed the interactions between her and Claude.

The OP song was pretty good, too. It's lively, fun, and reminded me of an old French song from the early 20th-century France. After watching the first episode three times now, I can practically almost sing along to it.

Now, I haven't read the light novels yet because I have never seen any translation anywhere, but a couple questions:

Spoiler:

Other than that, there were the little things that were cute to see like Yune tapping her feet a few times on the marble floors of the Gallery because she's unfamiliar with the flooring. The way her eyes widen seeing all the new and unfamiliar things around her. I like it.

It is also good that I understand French so I can read the titles, signs and other words in this show.

Now, I haven't read the light novels yet because I have never seen any translation anywhere, but a couple questions: Spoiler: Given what I know of Japanese culture and history, and the time period this takes place-- pre-WW1-- is Yune training to be a Geisha girl before continuing it in Japan? OR... Did Claude's grandfather bring her over to escape that life? I'd like know the reasons why she's in France and hopefully the show explains it. I would assume at this time in history, Japanese women especially girls would be confined to the house unlike Japanese men of that time.
