Waltz wa Shiroi Dress de

円舞曲は白いドレスで

In the early twentieth century, tensions ran high between England and Japan. England sought to expand its influence over Japan, while Japan fiercely resisted any foreign cultural intrusion. Yet Koto, a Japanese girl, paid no mind to whether someone had almond-shaped eyes or wore a kimono or a Western dress. In truth, she was captivated by the foreign way of life that introduced so many innovations to Japan. Above all, clothing drew her attention; she dreamed of becoming a tailor and creating dresses for women of every culture. However, being a woman meant her dream would inevitably end once she married. She would have to behave like a proper noble and respectable woman. Indeed, she was already betrothed to Masaomi Kidoin, the second son of one of Japan's most important and ancient families. The very day she learned of her arranged marriage to Masaomi, Koto attended a ball at the British Embassy and met Sagitto—a spy of half English, half Indian descent who captured both her imagination and her heart. But can their love story find a happy ending when both the British and the Japanese are hunting Sagitto, determined to see him dead, while Koto is forced into a life that does not suit her?
