Synopsis

The manga's story begins with Igarashi, who has been disqualified as a professional golfer after a certain "incident" and thus moves to the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture to escape the spotlight. On these islands, known as "Japan's last unexplored frontier," he meets a naive girl named Tonbo.

The story's creator, Kawasaki, and artist Furusawa launched the manga in Weekly Golf Digest, a general-interest golf magazine from Golf Digest Sha Co., Ltd., in August 2014.
