In the vibrant setting of Okinawa, high school student Maise Higa is stuck with a boring summer job at her family’s hotel. Her monotonous days are turned upside down with the arrival of a mysterious guest from Tokyo, Ichiro Suzuki. His presence inexplicably causes a series of bizarre, supernatural events to occur, which the locals describe as “deji”—an Okinawan slang word for “very” or “troublesome.”
Each short, 90-second episode follows Maise as she gets drawn into the strange phenomena surrounding Ichiro, transforming her dull summer into an unforgettable adventure. This charming anime is a quick, beautiful dive into Okinawan culture mixed with a touch of mystery. The show has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.
