As a teenager in Tokyo, coming of age in the 1960s, Jimi Yui was by his own account a wild child and a terrible student. He¡¯d spend his days ¡°rocking it¡± in the neighborhoods of Roppongi and Azabu, and when he wanted to impress a date he¡¯d take her to The Guest House, the storied Chinese restaurant his immigrant parents poured their lives into.
The last thing that the 16-year-old tearaway saw coming was a one way ticket to a Benedictine high school in the middle of America.
But that¡¯s the thing about being young, you think you know it all, until you don¡¯t. Unbenownst to Yui, his concerned parents, guided by a wise aunt and uncle, were conspiring to have him shipped off to a Catholic high school a world away.
