The Frontier

Complete | Akamura Saki | 2000 released

Love this unique storyline of a singer idol, Hana Mikanaki, who went on a 2 years self-discovery journey and ended up thrown off the boat, washed up on an island, and being saved from a wild leopard by a tribal female named Ap. After Hana helped bandaged the injury on Ap's leg, Ap took Hana (an outsider) back to her village. Although they cannnot communicate with each others, Ap decided to take Hana as her wife and gave her the kiss as a part of sealing their bond for the engagement ceremony. Not knowing what is happening, Hana went along the motion, appeared in front of the whole village, sang her idol song, and went through the marriage ceremony. After realizing that she just married Ap, her manager and the guide found her in the village and interruped the ceremony. Hana realizes that she needs to go back to Japan to finalize her life as an idol for her fans so she can live with no regret. She gave Ap a kiss and promised to return in the future and be with Ap as her wife. As Hana is leaving the village with her manager and the guide, the villagers saw them as an outsiders and readied arms to attack them. Ap protected Hana, as her wife, and ensured that they left unharmed. Before Hana left the island, Ap catched up with them at the shoreline and spoke her native tongue while crying and told Hana that she loves her. Hana replied with same and promised to return. The plot is set...destined adventures to true love await. Would love to see Hana returns to the Island as promised and be with Ap. Thank you for this wonderful story. :)
