ABOUT THE SHOW:
It’s 1999, and Ami is an awkward, Japanese American high school girl, just trying to stay as invisible as possible. But her world comes crashing down with a terrible discovery: her family is responsible for manufacturing MSG, the poison spice getting all the kids hooked. Meanwhile, a mysterious new girl arrives from Japan, and she’s not playing by the rules. In this riotous and hilarious time-traveling adventure, Ami vows to save the world from MSG and realizes what she’s capable of, if she would just stop being invisible.
