Tsurune

Tsurune is a TV anime drama series produced by Kyoto Animation, adapted from the light novel by Kotoko Ayano. Set in the world of high school kyudo, the series follows Minato Narumiya and his teammates—including Seiya Takehaya and Kaito Onogi—as they rediscover their passion for archery and forge unbreakable bonds. Directed by Takuya Yamamura with series composition by Michiko Yokote, Kyoto Animation's signature visual artistry brings every arrow's release to breathtaking life, blending heartfelt slice-of-life moments with genuine sporting drama.

Set against the disciplined world of Japanese archery, this story follows Minato Narumiya, a high school student carrying the weight of an unspoken past. During his middle school years, Minato was deeply involved in kyudo, but a certain event led him to walk away from the sport entirely. Now in high school, he finds himself crossing paths with a group of new companions, each with their own aspirations and struggles. Drawn together through their school's archery club, the team sets their sights on competing in the prefectural tournament. The story explores themes of youth, resilience, and the quiet intensity of kyudo — where every arrow drawn reflects not just skill, but the inner world of the one holding the bow.
