Hi! Tonbo – Manga gets an anime adaptation
Synopsis
The story begins with Igarashi, who was disqualified as a professional golfer after a certain “incident” and therefore moves to the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture to escape the spotlight. On these islands, known as “Japan’s last unexplored wilderness,” he meets a naive girl named Tonbo. It turns out these supposedly unexplored islands have a homemade golf course where Tonbo plays every day. She demonstrates genius-level prowess, hitting all kinds of shots with only one golf club, a 3-iron. Igarashi is amazed by Tonbo's talent, though he has doubts about her using only a 3-iron. However, hidden deep in Tonbo's heart lies a painful and sad past….
Finally, the story's creator, Kawasaki, and the artist, Furusawa, launched the manga in Weekly Gold Digest, a general interest golf magazine published by Golf Digest Sha Co., Ltd., in August 2014.
