A royal engagement puts Izumi’s place in the family to the test

In this sequel to *Tokyo Ever After*, Izumi Tanaka’s life in Tokyo seems to have settled into a royal wedding plan: her parents are engaged, and her boyfriend and dog are nearby. That picture shifts when the Imperial Household Council objects to the marriage, citing Izumi and her mother’s lack of pedigree, while Izumi’s relationship faces a separate strain. The conflict brings her new role as a princess into tension with her loyalty to her family and her own choices. The story connects questions of belonging and family expectations with the pressures of public status, framing Izumi’s effort to support her parents around a personal question: how much of herself should she give up to fit the role?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy young adult romantic comedies involving royal families and relationships.

Book overview

Return to Tokyo for a royal wedding in Emiko Jean's New York Times bestseller Tokyo Dreaming, the sequel to beloved rom-com Tokyo Ever After!

When Japanese-American Izumi Tanaka learned her father was the Crown Prince of Japan, she became a princess overnight. Now, she's overcome conniving cousins, salacious press, and an imperial scandal to finally find a place she belongs. She has a perfect bodyguard turned boyfriend. Her stinky dog, Tamagotchi, is living with her in Tokyo. Her parents have even rekindled their college romance and are engaged. A royal wedding is on the horizon! Izumi's life is a Tokyo dream come true. Only. . .

Her parents' engagement hits a brick wall. The Imperial Household Council refuses to approve the marriage citing concerns about Izumi and her mother's lack of pedigree. And on top of it all, her bodyguard turned boyfriend makes a shocking decision about their relationship. At the threat of everything falling apart, Izumi vows to do whatever it takes to help win over the council. Which means upping her newly acquired princess game.

But at what cost? Izumi will do anything to help her parents achieve their happily ever after, but what if playing the perfect princess means sacrificing her own? Will she find a way to forge her own path and follow her heart?
