What Is Appare-Ranman! About?

The premise of Appare-Ranman! without spoilers.

In the late 19th century, brilliant but socially inept engineer Sorano Appare teams up with the cautious samurai Isshiki Kosame after becoming stranded between Japan and America.

Traversing the United States from Los Angeles to New York in a steam‑powered car they built, they face rival racers, bandits and untamed wilderness, testing both their ingenuity and resolve.
