Maise Higa is a listless first-year high school girl who works part-time at the front desk of her family's hotel in Okinawa, meets an 'Ichirou Suzuki,' a mysterious youth who came alone from Tokyo as a hotel guest. Since Suzuki's arrival, 'dëji' things have been happening around Maise, like fish swimming around the room or a giant banyan tree smashing through the hotel ceiling. ('Dëji' is an Okinawan word that means 'totally' or 'very.')
