After moving to Okinawa, I, Teruaki Nakamura, found myself falling for a local girl named Kiyan. The only problem? Her thick Okinawan dialect leaves me completely lost. Luckily, Higa-san steps in as my personal translator, bridging the gap between us. What begins as a simple school transfer turns into an unexpected cultural romance under the southern sun.
The language barrier makes every interaction with Kiyan both frustrating and endearing. Without Higa-san’s help, I’d never understand her playful teasing or heartfelt words. Despite the challenges, there’s something special about this connection—something that wouldn’t exist if everything were easy.
Okinawa’s warmth isn’t just in its weather but in the people, too. Kiyan’s dialect, though confusing, carries the island’s charm. Each misunderstood phrase becomes a chance to learn, to grow closer. Higa-san jokes that I’ll pick up the dialect soon enough, but for now, I rely on her patience.
This isn’t just a love story—it’s a journey through culture, language, and the little misunderstandings that bring hearts together. The southern island’s breezes carry more than salt; they carry the promise of a love that defies words.
