Maise Higa, a drab first-year high school student who works part-time at the front desk of her family's Okinawa hotel, encounters "Ichirou Suzuki," a strange young man who arrived alone from Tokyo as a hotel guest. Since Suzuki's arrival, "dji" things have happened around Maise, such as fish swimming about the room or a massive banyan tree bursting through the hotel ceiling. ("Dji" is an Okinawan term that means "completely" or "very.")
