A decent anime that people seem to miss the point of. This show is a great way for people who are interested in going to Okinawa (or any of the other Okinawan islands) to learn about the culture and way of life there. After spending the September before this show aired in Ishigaki, I can honestly say that this show gives some good first hand insight into the Okinawan way of life. It is incredibly informative about the local culture, dialect, nature, festivals and other traditions/quirks that differ from mainland Japan. The romance aspect of the show isn't anything particularly amazing and is really just a driving forcein the background to keep the story going along smoothly.

>New guy transfers to the island, girl falls in love with him.
>The transfer student in order to impress the girl therefore learns more about her way of life.
>And therefore we also learn more about her way of life.

In summary.
If you are planning on going to Okinawa or are interested in an in delth look into the culture there.
Then this is the show for you.
If you want teen romance then look somewhere else.

8/10 Does what it set out to do. 😊
