The Rising Powers Initiative article gives a good report on the history of the assimilation of the Ryukyuans & the struggles Okinawans face being recognized by the Japanese government as indigenous peoples

This is a fresh, really sensitive topic, so I wanted to make sure I took the time to write out my perspective in a way that was detailed but concise. I'm still trying to sort out my own thoughts, so I'm sorry if points are unelaborated. Feel free to ask for clarifications! 🙇

Some points of consideration:
🌴 Major parts of the story have been shortened for brevity.
🌴 Much of the language and word choice may change in the full version.
🌴 Take the chapters proofread by me with a grain of salt 🙇 mika_enstars' and 310mc's JP PRs are likely more solid.

🌴 This is an abridged TL that follows Keito & Ibuki. While we still won't know Ibuki's status for a while, I hope publishing this version gives context on how Ibuki gets from Point A to Point B with Keito.

This version will be replaced when the full story is completed.

Text-Version!

Thank you for reading! 🦦❤️
