Tonbo! Season 2 Tees Off: Epic Golf Adventure Returns This Fall!

Yo, anime fanatics! Just when you thought your otaku calendar couldn’t get busier, it’s time to grab your 3-irons and hit the fairway because Tonbo! is gearing up for a spectacular second season this fall! Buckle up, because this isn’t just any sports anime—this is golf with a twist only anime can deliver.

The Return of Igarashi and Tonbo

Hold onto your hats, because our favorite dynamic duo, Igarashi and Tonbo, are back for another round of excitement. Last season, we watched in awe as disqualified pro golfer Igarashi stumbled upon Tonbo, the naive yet insanely talented girl, in the unexplored wilderness of Kagoshima Prefecture’s Tokara Islands. And oh boy, did she dazzle us with her one-club genius using just a 3-iron! But don’t be fooled by her innocent appearance; Tonbo carries a past that’s as heavy as a set of Mizunos.

Rebroadcast Alert: First Season Take Two

If you missed the first season or simply want to relive the epicness, you’re in luck! Starting July 6, the debut season of Tonbo! will be back on the airwaves, giving all of us another chance to witness the unique blend of emotional depth and jaw-dropping golf action. Perfect timing to catch up before the fall season drops!

A Tease from Kumamoto

Guess what? Our second season will whisk us away to Kumamoto! The series’ official X/Twitter account teased us with a tantalizing visual, giving us just enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. New locations mean new challenges, new characters, and a whole lot more for Tonbo and Igarashi to navigate.

Who’s Behind the Magic?

Let’s talk about the incredible team making all this happen:

Director: Jin Gu Oh (famed for Beyblade Burst series fame) is back to helm the ship at OLM.
Script Wizard: Mitsutaka Hirota, who graced us with incredible work in Sweetness & Lightning and Anime-Gataris, is in charge of creating gripping storylines.
Character Design Legend: Akira Takeuchi, known for Naisho no Tsubomi and Inazuma Eleven GO fame, brings our beloved characters to life.
Musical Maestro: Nobuko Toda’s compositions are set to fill our ears with melodies that perfectly capture the highs and lows of Tonbo’s journey.

The Story So Far: Swinging Through

For those new to the series, or if you need a refresher, here’s the lowdown: The manga, penned by Ken Kawasaki and illustrated by Yū Furusawa, follows Igarashi, a disgraced pro golfer who finds solace (and a whole lot of mystery) in the Tokara Islands. There, he meets Tonbo, a girl with exceptional golf skills and a single club. Through their encounters, we learn about Tonbo’s shrouded past and her phenomenal talent on an island that’s as untouched as her golfing abilities. Think of it as Rocky meets The Legend of Bagger Vance, but drenched in anime magic.

Binge-Watch and Be Ready

So, what’s the game plan, folks?
