Synopsis:

The series centers on Minato Narumiya, a young man drawn back to the practice of kyudo after a past disappointment led him to abandon the sport. The narrative unfolds within the structured environment of a high school kyudo club, exploring themes of personal redemption and camaraderie. Minato’s return is spurred by a confluence of events: the club's revival, an enigmatic archer who challenges his perspective, and the unwavering encouragement of familiar faces from his past. As he integrates with new teammates, including the skilled Kaito and composed Nanao, Minato grapples with rekindling his passion for kyudo, striving to overcome internal obstacles while working towards a shared goal: success in the upcoming prefectural tournament. The story emphasizes the discipline and mental fortitude inherent in this traditional martial art, alongside the bonds forged through teamwork.
