The romantic comedy manga centers on a boy named Teruaki Nakamura, who transferred from Tokyo to Okinawa. There, he finds a girl that he likes named Hina Kyan. But Teruaki is having a hard time understanding Hina’s Okinawan dialect. Hina’s friend Kana Higa always helps Teruaki and translates the dialect for him. But what he doesn’t know is that Kana secretly likes him.
The manga launched on Shinchosha‘s Kurage Bunch website in January 2020. Shinchosha published the manga’s first compiled book volume in July 2020, and will publish the seventh volume on July 7.
