Tokyo Ever After

Being Japanese American in her small, predominately white town in northern California has never really felt like home to Izumi Tanaka. Izumi, often known as Izzy, was raised by a single mother, therefore it has always been her and her mother versus the rest of the world. However, Izzy later finds out a hint about her father's identity that she didn't know before. and he is none other than Japan's Crown Prince. This implies that Izzy, who is outspoken and irreverent, is a true princess.

Izzy jet sets to Japan to visit her father, whom she never met, and explores the nation of her dreams. However, princesshood isn't only about tiaras and ball gowns. There are sly cousins, a voracious media, a stoic but attractive bodyguard who could be her soul match, and thousands of years' worth of tradition and customs to master almost immediately.

Izzy quickly finds herself torn between two different identities and two different worlds: in her native country, she was never truly "American," and in Japan, she has to demonstrate that she is sufficiently "Japanese." Will Izumi fulfill her happily ever after in a fairytale or will she fall under the weight of the crown?
