“Sorairo Utility” Information
■ Introduction
I’m gonna end up graduating as a nameless “Townsperson A.”
Minami Aoba was troubled.
She had no particular strengths or passions.
Is it okay for her high school life to end like this, as a background character?
She jumps out of school and searches for her own “Special Something” alone.
By chance, she ends up at a nearby golf practice range.
There, she meets Akane Haruka, who works part-time, and grasps a golf club — a “Utility.”
That was the encounter between Minami and golf.
Winning at play isn’t the only thing about golf!
Everything related to golf is enjoyable!
Together with the genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who aims to become an influencer, seeking the moment when they can become the “protagonist”!
As a super beginner, Minami swings her club again today.
