A new romance will be born in Okitsura

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Egumi Sora, "OKITSURA: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She's Saying," a new promotional video for the project was revealed. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for January 4, 2025 in Japan, and shows a fragment of the opening theme titled "Dai Dai Daisuki" and performed by HY.

Egumi Sora began publishing the manga through Shinchosha's Kurage Bunch service in January 2020, where it is still in serialization. Although he has written other works such as "Batsu Gal", "Amano-ke Yotsugo wa Ketsuekigata ga Zenin Chigau" and "Nipongo", this is the first to get an anime adaptation.

Synopsis of The Dialect of the Girl I Fell in Love With in Okinawa is too Difficult to Deal With

The story follows Teruaki Nakamura, a boy who moved from Tokyo to Okinawa, where he develops a crush on a girl named Hina Kyan. However, Teruaki faces the difficulty of understanding the Okinawan dialect of Hina. Fortunately, he has the constant help of Kana Higa, Hina's friend, who is in charge of translating the dialect for him. What Teruaki doesn't know is that Kana secretly has feelings for him as well, thus creating a fun and slightly different cultural love story on the South Island.
