The manga’s narrative kicks off with the introduction of Igarashi, a former pro golfer who faced disqualification due to a mysterious “incident.” Seeking refuge from the spotlight, he relocates to the secluded Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture.
These islands are often referred to as “Japan’s last unexplored wilderness.” It is here that he crosses paths with a young and innocent girl named Tonbo.
Surprisingly, these supposedly uncharted islands house a unique homemade golf course, where Tonbo dedicates herself to playing daily. What truly captivates Igarashi is Tonbo’s extraordinary golfing talent, as she effortlessly executes a wide array of shots using only a 3-iron club.
Despite his amazement, Igarashi harbors reservations about her reliance on just one club. Yet, beneath Tonbo’s cheerful exterior lies a profound and poignant past, shrouded in sadness.
The story’s creator, Kawasaki, and the talented artist, Furusawa, introduced this captivating manga in the pages of Weekly Golf Digest, a golfing magazine published by Golf Digest Sha Co., Ltd., back in August 2014.
