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.

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.

After the events of the tournament, Masa-san needs some help from the boys. The Kirisaki and Kazemai kyudo clubs team up to learn more about... idols?!

Kazemai’s performance earned them victory. However, another team is quickly making a name for themselves with their unorthodox yet ‌effective kyudo techniques.

Now that they know what they need to do, Minato and the others try to find their own “ikiai.”

Kazemai, Tsujimine, and Kirisaki compete in a national tournament that means something different to each team.
