Why are we in Okinawa? is a grass-roots manga-project designed to explain to the world - the history of the Ryukyu Islands.

Bringing together Okinawa-residents, historians, journalists, social activists, U.S. veterans, university professors and their students, its first print-run will be published in English - followed by Uchinaaguchi and Japanese-language versions.

This is an ongoing project - and all interested parties are invited to make contact to get involved.
