The story follows Makoto Itou, a high
school student who, although he has an ordinary life, will see his world turned
upside down with the arrival of Latina, a cheerful exchange student with tanned
skin that radiates energy. From their first meeting,
when Makoto rescues her from an attacker, Latina makes a bold decision: she
proposes to Makoto and insists that they should have a child together. This
unexpected turn in the protagonist's life is just the beginning of a series of
comical and endearing situations , as he tries to adapt to this new
reality and at the same time regain the confidence lost after a significant
failure in his school life.
The announcement of this series has become a trend
on social networks, especially due to the curiosity aroused by the name
of the protagonist, “Latina”, which has led many to speculate that she could be
a Latin American girl. However, the official synopsis does not confirm
this at any point; it simply mentions that Latina comes from a foreign country.
This small detail has been enough for the online community to fervently debate
the possible cultural representation in the story and the girl's country of
origin, is she from Mexico? Peru? Argentina?
The first volume of “The Dark Brown
Latina-san is Aiming for My Body” is scheduled for release on August 23 in
Japan , and is expected to capture the attention of
both Kishima's followers and those looking for a romantic comedy with a quirky
touch. It will be interesting to see how the relationship between Makoto and
Latina develops, as well as discover more about the history and origin of this
mysterious girl who has brought a ray of sunshine into the protagonist's life.
