Will you believe me?
A story that is mysterious, precious, bittersweet, and irreplaceable—
Can’t be described as simply fun.
“Turkey” is a bowling term for scoring three consecutive strikes.
This is the story of Mai, the “a genius who never wins” and her teammates—Rina, Sayuri, Nozomi, and Nanase—members of the Ikkokukan High School Bowling Club.
They fight, they fall, but they rise again, chasing victory.
This is the tale of a summer’s final chapter.
