Appare-Ranman!

HOW FAR I WILL BE ABLE TO GO? TO THE MOON? Appare Sorano’s dreams are big–bigger than his village, bigger than the sea, bigger than the Earth itself. So when fate sweeps him away to Los Angeles without a penny to his name, Appare sees not catastrophe but an opportunity. Likewise, when he hears talk of the $1.51 million prize for the Trans-America Wild Race–a transcontinental trek through the American frontier–he jumps right into the thick of it, dragging a prideful samurai along for the ride. After all, how else is he supposed to get enough funding to fly himself to the moon?
