Kyudo is a Japanese martial art that revolves around archery. When archers draw and release the bow, it makes a beautiful sound. And that is called Tsurune.
The story focuses on a boy called Narumiya Minato, who aspires to master Kyudo, Japanese martial art that revolves around archery. When he was watching a competition as a kid, he became fascinated with the sound after releasing the arrow and hence since then, he took up the bow.
But due to an unfortunate incident, he had to quit the sport, when he was in middle school. But that didn’t mean he didn’t like the sport anymore. In high school, he decides to start archery again after meeting Takigawa Masaki, a secretive man.
He is a leading archer with a beautiful stance and top-notch mastery over the sport.
But this time, Narumiya is not alone as now his childhood friends as well as some new friends will accompany him to make the new archery club a success.
Amongst friendships and misunderstandings, Narumiya strives to perfect his archery skills so that he, along with his companions and teammates, can crack the prefectural tournament.
