Minato first watched kyudo--Japanese archery--with his mother, where he was enchanted by the sound of the bowstring. When he first arrives at Kazemai High School, everyone expects him to join the kyudo club. But Minato is haunted by a recent tournament failure, and the strange condition that led to it.
After his failure at the kyudo club briefing, Minato flees the school, and ends up encountering a mysterious archer named Masa-san. Though on his guard at first, Masa-san's lighthearted personality slowly helps him to open up.
When Minato finally joins the Kazemai Kyudo Club, most of the boys accept him immediately. Kaito alone holds a grudge over Minato's wishy-washy behavior. Minato tries to smooth things over, but.
As the team's new coach, Masa-san decides to hold a training camp to help the kyudo club pass the tournament preliminaries. But first, he holds a mock tournament within the club, with a humiliating punishment for the loser.
For losing the match, the boys have to act as servants during their training camp. But does working all day mean they'll have no time to practice kyudo?
At Kirisaki, a private high school with a renowned kyudo club, the first-year Fujiwara Shu's skill with a bow stands out. This holds true even when choosing their participants for the prefectural preliminaries.
The prefectural tournament preliminaries finally begin. When the students from Kazemai and Kirisaki run into each other, Minato is happy to see Shu again - but Kaito is only interested in picking a fight.
The boys finally compete in the group match. While Kaito is focused on making up for his individuals performance, Minato is reinvigorated by his reunion with Shu.
The Kazemai Kyudo Club has managed to break through the preliminaries and is now preparing for finals. But Seiya's seemingly unflappable demeanor is beginning to show cracks.
When Seiya develops a fever and stays home from school, friction develops between the remaining members of the team. Does Masa-san hold a trump card to solve their problems?
Seiya has bounced back from his earlier gloom, and the team is practicing in earnest for the tournament. But when Minato forgets something in the Kyudo Hall, he overhears Masa-san talking to Tommy-sensei.
The news of Masa-san's accident has shaken the boys of the Kazemai kyudo club. The girls manage to get their heads back in the game, but will they be able to pass through to the finals under these conditions?
Having overcome various trials, the members of the reborn Kazemai Kyudo Club have deepened the bonds that they share. As the final match of the tournament approaches, what will the future hold for these young men who have grown together through kyudo?
