The published light novel also ends up becoming a record-breaking bestseller. Beautiful female fans of me (my sister), light novel authors and illustrators start gathering…

‘Tsurune’: The sound of a bowstring after the release of an arrow. To an archer, there is no happiness like producing a beautiful tsurune, and that beautiful reverberation can capture your heart.

Even if they use the same bow and arrow, an archer can never produce the exact same sound. It really is once in a lifetime. Each shot is a ‘meeting’ and ‘farewell’ you will never again experience. To Minato Narumiya, each Tsurune always represented a ‘meeting’…

About to embark on the eternal path of the bow and arrow are a group of 1st-year high school boys as fresh and youthful as the new leaves of spring.
