I finished the series, and looked everywhere, but I still cannot figure out what the title, "IO," is an acronym for. My guess is that the "O" stands for "Okinawa," which is the main setting for the story. Do you have any ideas?

Man, I thought you were serious for a second there. I do not think that is it.

My best guess is that it is a reference to the character in Greek mythology or possibly the moon of Jupiter that was named after her. I googled the katakana characters イオ from the front cover and that was the first result. Makes sense with the mysterious nature of the story.

Yeah, that's probably the best bet. Mangaka don't tend to be the most brilliant of writers.
