Rising Impact will be coming to Netflix with Season 1 streaming in June and then Season 2 soon after streaming in August. The show is based on the adaptation of Nakaba Suzuki’s manga that features Gawain Nanaumi that loves baseball, but after an interaction with female professional golfer, Kiria Nishino, learns that golf may be his true calling. We now also have a trailer for the show which you can find below and it gives us a taste of many of the different golfers that Gawain will have to face.
The golf manga “Rising Impact” — the first serialized manga by Nakaba Suzuki, author of the mega-hit series “The Seven Deadly Sins” — began its run in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998 and gained enthusiastic support from fans. And now, 25 years later, it is finally being adapted into an anime! Over the course of two seasons, this series follows the growth of third-grader Gawain Nanaumi as he encounters the sport of golf and competes with his rivals.
