Oh yes, I liked that very much.\u00a0 Many if not most seasons have a show or two which really surprises on the upside, but it’s always a relief when you get that first one.\u00a0 Even if there’s no guarantee the appeal will hold.\u00a0 None of the big possums have premiered yet, but Ooi! Tonbo<\/em> was certainly the best of the small fry so far.\u00a0 A thoroughly engaging and entertaining premiere that appealed to both the anime and sports fan in me (and I’m pretty damn intense about both of them).<\/p>\n

Ooi! Tonbo<\/em> has 42 volumes of manga but, predictably, it’s anonymous in English.\u00a0 No licenses, no scanlations, and no streamer for the anime as far as I can see (Edit: Amazon Prime has it).\u00a0 As such it’s going to be almost totally ignored\u00a0 in English, which is the case with about 90% of sports series.\u00a0 It’s actually serialized in Japan’s weekly Golf Digest<\/em> (as far as I know the only manga ever to have that honor) rather than a manga magazine.\u00a0 That’s likely an indication that it takes the golf side of the equation pretty seriously – no Birdie Wing<\/em> silliness here, presumably.\u00a0 For a golf fan who’s been predicting that the decades-long golf anime drought would one day soon end with a flood, that’s a big feather in its cap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The series is set on a particularly remote island in the Tokara chain, a far-flung archipelago of a dozen or so islands off the coast of Kagoshima.\u00a0 A man named Igurashi Kazuyoshi<\/a> (Touchi Hiroki<\/a><\/em>) arrives on the island to interview for a job at the development center.\u00a0 There to greet him is Tonbo Ooi<\/a> (Hayashi Rika<\/em><\/a>), a young girl with a surfeit of enthusiasm and an octopus.\u00a0 Eventually the grandma who runs the local minshuku (and looks after the orphaned Tonbo, along with the old fisherman who adopted her) arrives to drive him to town, and is rather shocked at the amount of luggage he’s hauling (including a set of golf clubs).<\/p>\n

Eventually they arrive at the minshuku in the car of the development center director<\/a> (and museum curator, and observatory director) (Yamauchi Kenji<\/a><\/em>), where Igarashi – who everyone now calls “Igaiga” thanks to Tonbo – is beating the futons with a three-iron<\/a>.\u00a0 Igaiga notices a golf theme on the island – a practice green in an odd place, a practice net<\/a> at the development center – and it soon becomes clear that he has a connection with the game in his past.\u00a0 The “wounds” he tells Tonbo were the reason he came to the island are clearly connected to golf in some way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve certainly seen this “big city guy in the sticks” theme plenty in animanga, but when executed well it can be a very winning formula – and so far it is here.\u00a0 This really is the sticks, too.\u00a0 Only one vending machine (the average Japanese mountain summit has more than that), a store that’s only open three hours a day (and that’s if the owner feels like it).\u00a0 And most poignantly, a school system where Tonbo is the only middle-schooler<\/a> (there are 15 elementary students), and no high school.\u00a0 Which means all the children will leave the island after junior high, many never moving back (or skip high school altogether).\u00a0 That’s a big reason why rural communities all over Japan are slowly going extinct.<\/p>\n

There’s one big quirk about this island, though.\u00a0 It has a golf course, and it’s a beauty<\/a> – a two or three-hole seaside links layout perfect for the terrain and weather conditions – and a populace who seem pretty crazy about the sport.\u00a0 I don’t know how realistic that is but it’s a fun conceit.\u00a0 And none of the residents is crazier about the game than Tonbo, who pretty much lives and breathes it in every free moment.\u00a0 She only has one club, a three-iron, but that dampens her enthusiasm not at all.\u00a0 She invites Igaiga to tromp through the jungle to the course and once he gets over his astonishment, they proceed to play a hole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the thing – three-irons really are one of the toughest clubs to hit well.\u00a0 And the annals of golf legend are rife with tales of feral youngsters who learned how to hit every shot using one club and became geniuses as a result.\u00a0 There’s an element of truth to that – all the tricks you have to learn to hit every shot (including putts, presumably) with the same club – especially a long-iron – could give you incredible hand action and imagination (which would serve you well when presented with the chance to use a whole set of clubs).\u00a0 As witness the incredible shot Tonbo executes to escape the Scottish-style high-faced bunker, opening the club face dramatically<\/a> and widening her stance impossibly far (all good technique).\u00a0 And she’s had to learn how to expertly play the wind, too.<\/p>\n

As former (?) golf pro, Igaiga is obviously fascinated by this genki girl who’s seemingly a natural.\u00a0 And I’m fascinated with the whole premise.\u00a0 There’s a lot here that really works for me – the golf aspect, the focus on life in a remote island, Igaiga’s troubled past and his adjustment to this very big change of venue.\u00a0 This premiere totally clicked for me – it was great fun and flowed naturally from wire to wire.\u00a0 I’m going to assume Ooi! Tonbo<\/em> will be a one-cour manga commercial unless I hear differently (Edit #2: 26 episodes!), but hey, I’ll take that if the rest is as good as this first episode was.<\/p>\n
