Let’s explore the wonders of Okinawa together! A new visual from the upcoming anime Okitsura shows the local heroines posing by a shisa status in Okinawa’s Kokusai-Dori. The street, situated at the heart of Naha, has become known for its shops and nightlife.
In addition to the new art, we also have news on the show’s opening theme. The song, titled “Dai Dai Dai Daisuki,” will be performed by HY. The band can currently be heard performing the opening theme song for this season’s Kinokoinu Mushroom Pup.
Based on the web manga by Egumi Sora, Shingo Tanabe directs Okitsura under the supervision of Shin Itagaki at studio Millepensee, with the pair also responsible for series composition. Tomohiro Yoshida is providing the character designs, while Tomohisa Ishikawa, Yoshimi Katayama and Ayana Kinjo are in charge of music. Crunchyroll will stream the series starting in January 2025.
The original manga has been published on the Kurage Bunch web manga platform since January 2020. The series’ synopsis reads as such:
I, Teruaki Nakamura, transferred to Okinawa and fell in love with a girl… but I can’t understand her dialect. Thankfully, Higa-san is always helping me out with translations.
A cross-cultural romance that’s a wee-bit different begins on the southern island!
