Fifteen‑year‑old Sinobu Omiya is an ordinary Japanese schoolgirl who loves Western culture, even though English doesn"t reciprocate her affection. The main character entered an exchange program and spent a week with the British Cartlett family, where she met her peer Alice, a shy miniature blonde. Given Sinobu"s simple and open nature, mutual understanding quickly developed; the language barrier did not prevent the girls from getting to know each other and becoming friends. Thus Alice fell in love with the East, learned Japanese, worked on herself, and a year later she visited Omiya"s family in return – this time for good! Yoko and Aya, Sinobu"s school friends, gladly welcomed the newcomer into their circle – not only because of her luxurious golden hair but because she was a good person. For Alice, the trip to Japan became an immersion into the long‑awaited Land of Wonders. Soon another blonde joined the quartet – Karen Kudzu, a somewhat fussy relative of Alice who heard that her cousin had decided to study in Japan and immediately moved herself – just for company. In short, the international group will definitely never be bored, and viewers certainly won"t either!
