What happens

My Darling Is a Foreigner (ダーリンは外国人, Dārin wa Gaikokujin) is a manga series written by Saori Oguri. The English subtitle of the Japanese editions of the first two entries is "My darling is ambidextrous"; the official English version is called My Darling is a Foreigner. The books are published by Media Factory, Incorporated in Japan, and bilingual versions have been produced. The series is about Oguri's relationship with Tony László, an American writer of half-Hungarian half-Italian descent who lives in Tokyo.
