Each participant in the regionals has their own worries and hopes. They are all different, but the one thing that unites them all is kyudo.

It’s their turn this time; Seo, Hanazawa, and Shiragiku have signed up for a kyudo tournament and are bursting with excitement for their first team competition.

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

The Kazemai kyudo club heads to Kirisaki’s campus for a joint practice session.

Kazemai has a summer training camp and is ecstatic about getting a beach-side kyudo range all to themselves! Too bad the Tsujimine kyudo club beat them to the punch.

Minato had setbacks, but all of his hard work earned him a spot on the national stage. Now, as he steps onto the range, he faces Shu once more.

The conclusion of the national tournament heralds the end of summer. As Minato reflects on kyudo, he and his friends help Masaki prepare for the Star Festival at Yata Shrine.
