The anticipation for the upcoming golf-themed anime, Sorairo Utility, has been heating up with the release of its third key visual. This new artwork is an energetic expression of the series, with the three main characters—Minami Aoba, Haruka Akane, and Ayaka Hoshimi—tending to a golf ball marked with “HAM.”
Minami’s search for her own “special kind of special” places her next to Haruka, the natural golfing prodigy, and Ayaka, the wannabe influencer. Other quirky characters introduced in the visual include Izumi Akina, Minami’s classmate; Masao Tadokoro, aka Masa; Chosuke Tanabe, aka Cho; and Tetsuhiro Tanaka, aka Tetsu, all regulars around the golf range. A mysterious figure seen from behind adds intrigue to the dynamic composition, exuding freshness that is quite different from what has been seen so far in promotional materials.

The production team has also shared the third round of staff updates, adding to the excitement. The detailed craftsmanship behind Sorairo Utility is evident in the lineup:

A Glimpse Into the Story
Sorairo Utility follows Minami Aoba, a high schooler who fears graduating as a “nameless Townsperson A” with no standout qualities or passions. A chance visit to a golf practice range introduces her to Haruka Akane and the sport of golf, forever changing her perspective. Together with Haruka and Ayaka, Minami embarks on a journey not only to improve her game but to discover her own unique identity.
The series promises a heartfelt exploration of friendship, self-discovery, and the joys of golf, blending humor and inspiration as Minami tackles life’s challenges one swing at a time.
