Pony Canyon describes the story below:
I’ll graduate as a plain background Townsperson A character at this rate! Minami Aoba was troubled. She had no particular strengths or things she wanted to do. Is it okay for her high school life to end as such an ordinary supporting character?
Leaving school behind, Minami searches for her own special uniqueness or talent. She stumbles upon the nearby golf practice range by chance. Approached by part-time worker Haruka Akane, Minami grasps the golf club—the “utility.”
And thus, it was the encounter between Minami and golf. Winning is not the only thing in golf! Everything related to golf is enjoyable!
Together with the genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who wants to be an influencer, they seek the moment when they can become the protagonists in their own lives! As a super beginner, Minami swings her club once again today.
