How does making friends, the view of sex, traditional and modern marriages, becoming a resident, and knowing that your children can be kidnapped...legally, connect with that funny little thing called love? Japan is different. You must first appreciate the workings of this foreign and complex society before having a chance at finding love. The Japanese word for love is "ai" which is pronounced similarly to "I" in English. As the book's title suggests, we sometimes don't know if we are in love.
