So things most likely will happen there are:
  1. Sex scene and kiss
  2. [mod edit: removed for inappropriate insinuation]
  3. Racial conversion (all white wash or might there inclusion for asian?)
  4. Westernization trope
  5. Also name change never should forget that.
If I was a writer, I would use a native tribe, pseudo traditions, life on a reserve and urban life as starting point for an adaptation. Kimi no Na wa, iirc, has some mystical and cultural element to its story, so it is really hard use tradition and culture from North America, after colonisation, plus non-natives as core for a rewrite. Of course, if the story doesn't take place in the US, but in some European place, you can always make up some wishy washy pagan stuff.
