bowling your head la

Akira wasn't prepared for it. For becoming a shop owner and quitting school.. For becoming... an orphan. His best friend Inami writes to him one day telling him of the inheritance he got from his mother where he used to help out as a very young child but stopped, for a reason he could not remember. A bowling center? Can an eighteen year old learn how to manage the darker secrets behind his mother's clan and illuminate the "snowing shadow" according to the name his mother had given him- Akira?

Everyone pities me because I'm an orphan but to be honest, I don't really feel anything other than a sense of frustration as I have to take over the family business and quit school... My family owns a bowling center-but I don't know much about the place. I mean yea I've helped out several times when I was a kid but.. I don't remember anything now. I just remember it was weird, and first timers were often freaked out. I had to scrub the bowling lanes often and bleach them as they were always stained.. What were they stained with again?
