Emiko Kimori is a self-proclaimed matchmaking genius. She is ready to apply her skills once more after successfully finding love for her aunt. When a new girl in town becomes her best friend, Emiko naturally takes on the task of finding her a perfect romantic match to ensure her social success. Living with her Ojiichan on British Columbia's West Coast after her parents died in a car accident while she was an infant, Emiko is surrounded by friends and neighbors, including Kenzo Sanada, who frequently urges her to stop meddling in others' love lives. However, Emiko firmly believes she has a unique insight into who belongs together and feels compelled to intervene for the sake of true love, even when her "targets" are unaware.
Because of her fervent dedication to orchestrating others' romantic fates, Emiko has little time for her own love life. She fills her days with matchmaking, brunch recipes, volunteering, a bustling social calendar, maintaining her grades, and reluctantly contemplating post-graduation plans. Yet, fate intervenes when she unexpectedly falls for the very last person she imagined. Suddenly, Emiko finds herself entangled in the intricate web of her own carefully crafted love matches, forced to personally navigate the complexities of being in love for the first time and discovering that friendship and romance are far more nuanced than her matchmaking theories ever accounted for.
A modern re-imaging of Jane Austin's Emma, Emiko showcases realistic characters. Emiko's sincere desire to help her friends is matched by her fear of what comes after graduation, as well as her reluctance to attend college. Fans of light romances will appreciate this read and will wonder how Emiko will navigate the pitfalls of her relationships with family and friends.
