Pony Canyon describes the series:
“At this rate, I'll graduate with a simple A character!”
Minami Aoba is in trouble. She doesn't have specific strengths or things she wants to do. Is it okay for her high school life to end up like an ordinary side character like that!?
Leaving school behind, Minami searches for her own “special uniqueness”. She happened to find a golf course nearby. Approached by part-timer Haruka Akane, Minami gets hold of a golf club—“utility.”
And so, it's the encounter between Minami and golf.
Winning isn't the only thing winning in golf! Everything related to golf is fun!
Together with genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who aspires to become influencers, they search for the moment when they can become “protagonists”! As a super beginner, Minami swung her club once again today.
The original anime special aired in December 2021. Crunchyroll streamed the anime.
