Sorairo Utility‘s official YouTube channel has released both parts of its crossover ONA with the original TV-anime Birdie Wing – Golf Girls’ Story. Released over two days (February 12 & 13), the short-form anime is mainly conversation-driven and includes the main character from the series. The Sorairo Utility x Birdie Wing ONA episodes are available with only the original Japanese audio.
What’s Sorairo Utility x Birdie Wing About?
Currently airing on HIDIVE, Sorairo Utility follows Minami Aoba, a self-described background character who’s searching for something fantastically special in life. But try as she may, everything Minami attempts to enjoy turns into a dud. But when Minami helps a struggling ojisan to a golf driving range, the special something she was looking for finds its way to her.
Running into the genius golfer Haruka Akane, Minami is instantly enchanted by her gracefulness and gives golf a try. And like a California hipster trying quinoa for the first time, she violently crashes into her newest addiction. Quickly becoming friends, the two coupled with gold influencer Ayaka Hoshimi dive into the world of golfing and Minami’s quest to conquer her newfound love.
Streaming on Crunchyroll, Birdie Wing is what golf could be if golf was fun. Featuring underground betting dens, mafias, blatant corruption, and sprinkling in kawaii waifus, Birdie Wing follows the duo of Evangeline and Aoi Amawashi. Eve is an underground illegal golfer, using the sport as a way to earn quick cash. On the other hand, Aoi, a golfing prodigy, does everything with grace and elegance, a stark contrast to Eve’s brute force tactics. And after the two cross paths together and share a round, their paths lock together, and a whole new world opens for them.
