°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ

Taiyô Tenno is a young Japanese student on a world tour of "art masterpieces"; Soléane is "a scientist at heart," presumably French, who speaks perfect Japanese. They meet at Cézanne's workshop in Aix-en-Provence and soon find themselves seated at the terrace of Les Deux Garçons, the town's most elegant café.

Soléane speaks Japanese because her work in "energy research" implies a lot of "professional dealings with Japan." Taiyô Tenno is impressed, especially when Soléane explains that her work is about "duplicating the energy-generating process in the Sun and stars"...

The first manga on °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ—"A small sun on Earth"—has just been published by °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Japan and is available in Japanese, French and English.
