The TV anime adaptation of golf manga Oi Tonbo! recently received a new trailer. A so-called second trailer, which is the first trailer but with video footage of the lead voice actors commenting on their roles added on, has also been released.
Oi Tonbo! begins airing in April. The story follows a man named Kazuyoshi Igarashi who moves to the Tokara Islands after a certain incident causes him to lose his qualification as a professional golfer. There, he encounters Tonbo, who frequently plays golf on the island’s handmade golf courses. Kazuyoshi is amazed by Tonbo’s impressive skills, but also wonders why she uses nothing but a 3-iron. Meanwhile, buried deep in Tonbo’s heart is a painful, sad past.
The Golf Digest-published manga written by Ken Kawasaki and drawn by Yuu Furusawa began serialization in Weekly Golf Digest in 2014. 48 tankoubon volumes have been released as of December 27, 2023.
