Plot
Focus, concentration, proper posture and good release are the hallmarks of a good bowler, just like Shu Akutagawa. It’s at the Golden Bowl bowling alley, a place that’s a bit rundown and small, but no worse for wear, that this stockbroker likes to strut his stuff. A regular at the Golden Bowl, he likes nothing better than the rumble of the bowl streaking down the lane, and the crash and crackle of the pins tumbling down. But life’s not all bowling! When his old flame Hitomi Sakura (now married to someone else) makes an appearance at the GoldenBowl, things start to heat up again as Shu teams upwith her to challenge some pro bowlers. But the question is wil l Shu be as lucky with Hitomi as he is with the pins?
