Himeko  is  a  dreamer  who  spends  many  a  long  afternoon  sitting  alone  in  the  woods,  writing  poetry.  She  dreams  of  becoming  a  bowling  champion,  but  finds  it  difficult  to  overcome  her  natural  lethargy  and  self  doubt.  Her  friends  have  pushed  her  into  entering  the  tournament  and  her  desire  for  approval  from  her  peers  just  might  see  her  through.
