Thanks much!
And now we get a more graphic view of why Claude resents that family.

Looks like the collages are meant to be sort of non-canon out-takes. Bits of whimsy about the characters that don't connect to the main storyline and can fiddle with fantastic themes even though the main manga is basically realistic.

This is not seinen.

And the anime is based off this manga.

Its this based on the anime of the same name?

I don't think this could be categorized as Seinen either case. The Seinen element is missing.
I am not sure if this is shounen, but if it's serialized in a shounen manga, I guess we can put it that way~

does someone else think that the drawing in chapter 9 wasn´t as good as in the other chapters?

I dunno, Liar. It could be a breath mind and a candy mint. I won't argue with your description of the relationship, but I don't think that means romantic elements are impossible or even really unlikely, although if they do come it's likely to be slowly.

. . . it just occurred to me what this reminds me of, in a way: Howl's Moving Castle. Not the story or the castle, but the look and feel of the towns and shops the main character lives in before she finds the castle.

Unfortunately, Shounen/Seinen isn't a genre. If a comic is published in a Shounen magazine, as Ikoku Meiro no Croisée is, then it's Shounen, that's all there is to it.

I don't believe [Shounen] is a fitting tag for this manga, so I replaced it with [Seinen] instead.

Anyway, I'm in agreement with PLG. The main heroine is a very innocent and pure-hearted girl, a fitting foil for the male lead whom is rather cynical and conscious of his surroundings. However, for those of you looking for romance, I will have to say that this isn't that kind of story. The relationship between the two main characters is more akin to that of a familial bond that nurtures their growth, expanding their perspective of the world and themselves.

I would also like to mention that the girl is fairly young (being fourteen by Western standards) and it can be assumed that the male main character is around in his late teens or early twenties.

I wholly recommend this series. It is quite an enjoyable read.

This is very nice. The feeling of place and time is surprisingly good. It exploits a quite real fad for things Japanese that existed at the time and influenced art and design. The characterization is good and so is the art. It has a nice feel. And the girl is sooooooo cute! She looks even cuter because she's surrounded by all these larger, somewhat ungainly Europeans, and being isolated like that, the only one of her culture there, makes her waiflike appearance all the more touching.
You just want to comfort her and take care of her and pat her and squish her and suddenly realize she's not actually a little girl . . . ahem.
