Follow along as Emily, Nico and Teo, while sitting on the grass after school, minding their own business, come across a giant talking fox dressed in a kimono. Explaining that he knows magic, speaks many languages and is respected as a sensei master, he wonders if the three kids are ready to learn Japanese from him. During the next 128 amusing pages, the three friends learn to speak, read and write Japanese, while also taking breaks to try Japanese hot-spring baths, sumo wrestling, Zen meditation and more.
