Kimi
Chapter 1: Red
Fisherman Ken decided he needed help and thought to try a 15-year-old who hung about the dock. Her baby red face gave her name, Red. She lost parents early and hired out on fishing boats as serving girl and helper. Round-faced, with a well-shaped body and clothed in a faded brown leather jacket over monpe (Japanese word for elastic waist-to-ankle baggy pants used by women laborers) and rubber boots, she could be seen on icy mornings asking boatmen for a day's job.
So Ken hired Red and he soon could not do without her. Not only did she cast the cages to catch crabs and pull in the nets filled with fish and take turns at the boat's controls and leap up on the dock to tie a mooring rope with skill, but she also made the seaweed-cofy vered, pickle-at-center rice balls and cooked the bean soup they ate together on deck at the rfrnoontime as the boat rolled up and down on Pacific Ocean waves.
Inevitably, talk arose. Red was growing into a woman and some people were beginning to think it was not right she should spend time alone on the ocean with a man.
