Sorairo Utility Synopsis

"At this rate, I'll just become a background character!" Minami Aoba worried. "I don't have any particular strengths or things I want to do. Is it okay for your school life to end as an ordinary supporting character?" Leaving school behind, Minami searches for his own "special uniqueness." He stumbles upon a nearby golf course by chance. Approaching part-time worker Haruka Akane, Minami picks up the golf club: the "Utility."

And that was Minami's encounter with golf. Winning isn't the only thing about golf! Everything about golf is fun! Together with the brilliant golfer Haruka and aspiring influencer Ayaka Hoshimi, they're looking for their moment to become "protagonists"! As a super beginner, Minami is swinging his club again today.
