The 44th volume of Ken Kawasaki and Yū Furusawa's Oi! Tonbo manga has revealed that an anime adaptation is in the works, with a planned release in 2024. The story follows a former professional golfer seeking solace on a remote island and a naive girl with an extraordinary talent for the sport.
The narrative begins with Igarashi, a golfer who was banned from professional play due to a certain "incident." In search of a quieter life, he moves to the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture, known as "Japan's last unexplored wilderness." There, he meets Tonbo, a seemingly innocent girl with a passion for golf.
Surprisingly, the remote islands feature a makeshift golf course where Tonbo plays daily, displaying remarkable skills with just a single golf club—a 3-iron. Igarashi, fascinated by her talent, questions her choice to use only one club. However, behind Tonbo's impressive abilities lies a deeply rooted, painful past.
