The protagonist is Asano who has had an amazing memory since his youth
spent in Okinawa. Words have tangible shapes, tastes and colours for
him. This goes so far that he is not even able to forget words once he
has heard them. He travels the seas and because 'Hong Kong' feels
wonderful, he goes ashore there. He chances upon the Dive Bar, that soon
turns out to be the haven of comfort he has been seeking since his
youth. The bar is run by the flamboyant, hospitable Kevin, who is also
an alcoholic, eclectic lover and a perfect confidant to Asano. But Kevin
keeps forgetting all kinds of things and that gets him into trouble
sometimes. Words seem only to stand in the way of the relationship
between Asano and Kevin...
