Okay

Okay

In kyudo, there's a process \Nto drawing the bow.
Looks like we're good to go.
First, you bow.
In archery, there is an established routine for when you shoot.
Then you take sliding steps \Nto your designated
spot.
You start by bowing and then shuffle to your
spot.

and l

Get ready.
Then, you take aim.
It's not going to be like last time.
History won't repeat itself.
Then draw the arrow back slowly.
And slowly but firmly draw the bowstring.
Too soon!
That was quick.
He released it too soon.
He shot really early.
He missed!
He must've gotten nervous with so many eyes on him.
I'm sure he's nervous about being watched.
Let's try again.
Now, one more time.
It's still happening!
I'm not any better.
Archers always fire off two or four shots once they start.
In kyudo, you'll shoot either \Ntwo or four arrows in one set.
I still haven't recovered.
I've never been better.
It's been the same since back then.
This whole time... I've still...
Bravo!

When was that? And where? I only remember one thing. Just one sound... A sound like soaring. Like a ray \Nof light flashing in the dark. Mom, what's that "whum" sound? It's called "tsurune." It's the sound made by the bowstring \Nwhen the arrow is released. "Tsurune"... Rise! Begin! The boys' group finals will now begin. At hall one: Kirisaki Private Middle School. Shooting first: Narumiya. Shooting second: Takehaya. Shooting third: Fujiwara. At hall two: Ishikawa Daiichi Middle School. Shooting first: Komatsu. Shooting second... I forgot my towel. Um... Hey, Kuma! Well, you're in a good mood today, I see. Good morning, sir... Morning, Minato. Seiya? Why are you here? Dad's under the weather, \Nso he's not up to walking. I offered to walk Kuma instead. Best of luck. Don't you need to dry your hair first? You don't want to be sick at your \Nschool entrance ceremony, do you? You'll be there too, won't you, Seiya? You knew about that, huh? Your dad told me earlier. Too bad. I was hoping to bump into you \Nat school and surprise you. I'm plenty surprised already. I'm relieved that we get to go\N to high school together. Good thing I passed the exam. You could have just gone to \Nthe affiliated high school. Kazemai was an easy pass, right? Nah, I was real nervous about it. "What am I gonna do if I fail?" I thought. We, your new arrivals, \Nswear to spread our wings and fly as hard and far as we can towards this new sky known as Kazemai. I heard he was the top of this class. Wow! Wanna join the soccer club? Hey, you've got a good frame! What's that? I just thought you might\N want to play soccer... Hey, now! Don't threaten our senpai. Sorry, my boy here can kill with a glance. Since when am I "your boy"? It's Nanao-kun! Nanao-kun! Hey, there! What on Earth? Kazemai excels in both \Nliterature and athletics. It sure makes it lively. Have you decided, Minato? Which club you want to join. I don't want to j— I finally found you! Please, stop! I'm not doing any clubs! It's Minato and Seiya, right? Reunited in high school, \Nand I'm so freakin' happy! Wait, are you Ryohei? Yamanouchi Ryohei? It's been forever, huh? How'd you get so tall? I put on thirty centimeters \Nsince I transferred! No wonder I didn't recognize you. That was our fifth year of elementary. \NHas it really been over four years? Actually, in my second \Nyear of middle school— There is no greater delight than a friend who visits from afar. Tommy-sensei! "Tommy"? This is my homeroom teacher, \NMorioka Tomio-sensei. We call him Tommy! I'm a first-year at Kazemai,\Ntoo, in my own way. A pleasure. You're Takehaya Seiya-kun? Yes. Narumiya Minato-kun, yes? Yes. The truth is, I'm working \Non an important mission. In order to complete that mission, I require the aid of some hip young folks. "Hip young folks?" A mission? What is it?! I mustn't speak of it here. Would you come along with me? What should we do? How should I know? Let's go! Wha— Hey! Why? C'mon, it sounds fun! I remember that energy, at least... My mission involves resurrection. Bringing the dead back to life. You mean like CPR? Or like reincarnation? Or zombies?! Close, but not quite. There. Step on in. Sure! Wow! We have this wonderful shooting range, and yet the kyudo club hasn't had \Nmembers in quite some time. Thus, the principal has\N entrusted me with the mission of reviving the Kazemai \NHigh School Kyudo Club. Hell yeah! My middle school required a martial art, so I was in kyudo since the last \Nterm of my second year there! You were? Yeah! I'd been hoping to keep \Nit up in high school, too! Tommy-sensei! These two... Minato and Seiya \Nare freakin' awesome at kyudo! Oh, they're veterans? Yeah! They've been in the kyudo \Nclub since middle school! How did you... What luck, finding three veterans at once! But... We have some girls who expressed \Ninterest in joining as well, which means I'm practically in the clear! Wait a minute! I wasn't planning to join a club. Why is that? Ever since my mother died, I've been handling most of the housework. Gracious me... Your mom passed? I'm sorry! I never heard! It was the summer of our sixth year. It's okay. I see. It's a shame, but I won't force you. How about you two? I'll do it! It really stinks that Minato won't join, but I wanna do kyudo! How about you, Takehaya-kun? I'd love to join. I'm delighted to hear that. Narumiya-kun, if you change your mind,\N feel free to come by and watch. We'll be glad to have you any time. Yes, sir. Minato. Are you sure? I don't do kyudo anymore. I know that you still carry \Nyour treasure around. What's the matter, Kuma? Your master's gonna be late. Forget him. I'm okay. Minato-kun, welcome home! Oh, hello... Seiya's not with you? He had some things to take care of, I think. I see. You're the only ones going from \NKirisaki to Kazemai, right? Take care of each other, okay? Yes, ma'am. I'm home. Oh, he's running late? Here I thought I'd make ginger pork... Ko-chan, what club are you gonna join? Basketball. You, Hiro? Soccer! I'm joining the drawing club! There's no way! What's wrong with that? Episode 1\N The Young Man on the Shooting Range You'll have your physicals next Tuesday, so be sure to read the print-out in advance. As for your club forms, be sure to turn those in next week. Okay! It's safe to assume we've both \Napplied to the club, right? Yeah. That's fine. For today's briefing, we were hoping to demonstrate for \Ninexperienced club hopefuls... Let's go, Takehaya. Sorry. Darn you, Minato! Why didn't you tell me you'd \Nbe going out the back gate? I was staking out the front \Ngate this whole time! Ryohei... Come on, just one favor! I can't. Sure you can! Let's go to the kyudo club briefing! No way. The Minato I know would never say that! When I was near tears 'cause I couldn't eat \Nthe pineapple in my sweet and sour pork, you're the one who ate it for me! That was ages ago! Please, Minato! There's all these weird girls \Nthere, and I'm getting cold feet! Weird girls? Merha! Merha! Is Nanao-kun here yet? He's still getting ready. Bail me out here! Minato, you're my hero! Stop talking like a little kid. We're in high school now. What's the problem? What's different now? The targets are in place! Preparations complete, \Nand smooth sailing ahead. Oh, I have one more bit of good news. Two more veterans are coming to join us. I see. Yes, and it looks like\Nall the targets are in place. Sensei. Your mission to revive the kyudo club... I intend to make it a success. I'll be counting on you! In the summer of my second year of \Nmiddle school, I saw you doing kyudo. You looked so freakin' cool, I was freakin' inspired! That's why I started up \Nkyudo in middle school. But classes were just once a week, \Nso I barely know the basics. When I got to high school and learned \NI'd be here with you and Seiya, I thought, "This is awesome!" We have to do it! It's like we're being told to do it! If you're busy with housework, \NI'll help out with that! I'll carry your bags, too! Hey, it's okay... Come on. Please. Only to watch. Hell yeah! Give that back! Have you ever done kyudo before? No. But it seems pretty easy, you know? I watch them do kyudo \Non TV around New Year's. Hakama are so cool! Yeah! Whoa, kyudo girls are pretty hot. Is it the hakama boost? You think we'd get that boost, too? That's the plan! Merha! Merha! What took you so long? Sorry, a teacher needed my help. Shut your damned mouths \Nin the sacred kyudo hall. Up goes the Kacchan barrier! Who's that? Nanao-kun's cousin, I hear. But I can't have you scaring the girls. Stop calling me "Kacchan." You're Kacchan, though! I can't start calling you something else now. I have to go to the same high school as you,\N and be in the same club at that... This blows. Why not join the soccer club then, Kacchan? I'm serious about archery. Merha! I didn't start doing kyudo just\N because I want to wear hakama. But my hakama beauty is more than skin deep! You guys are our veterans, right? Could you come over here? Okay! Who are all of you? They're the Kazemai High School \Nkyudo club's female members. Seo Rika-san. Shiragiku Noa-san. Hanazawa Yuna-san. Nice to meet you! There's no gender segregation in kyudo. Please get along. Okay. A pleasure. I'm Takehaya Seiya. I'm Kisaragi Nanao, and \NMr. Scary-Face here is Onogi Kaito! I don't have a scary face. You can just call us Nanao and Kacchan! No, they can't! Have I met you somewhere before? The entrance ceremony, perhaps? I'm here! Good job, Ryohei! I see our kyudo club briefing \Nhas drawn quite a crowd. Thank you all. Feel free to relax your \Nseating posture a bit. First, let me make a request. Kyudo is a martial art. That means I want spirited responses! Yes, sir! Now, what's the minimum number of \Ntools required by kyudo, do you think? Bow and arrow? Sorry, there's one more. The yugake! It's like a glove. Let's begin with a demonstration \Nof the art by one of our veterans. You there. Narumiya Minato-kun. Would you fire one for us? Good! That's not what we scheduled... I can't. I'm not a member of the club. Most people here aren't. But Seiya or Ryohei could... I hear you've got one \Nheck of a shooting form. Won't you let us see it, just once? You'd all like to see \NNarumiya-kun shoot, don't you? Um... I... Hey. What's your draw weight? Fifteen... W-Wait a minute! I never agreed to do this... No one cares if you suck or not. It's not about that... Your name got called, so quit \Nsquirming and just do it. Don't you have the slightest \Nshred of pride as an archer? Mine are a little long for you, I guess. That's how you measure \Nyour proper arrow length. You can borrow my gym uniform. Narumiya Minato, was it? What's your hand size? Did you tell Morioka-sensei? About what? That I... carry it with me. No. Hey, what glove do you want? I don't need one. Okay, all ready? In kyudo, there's a process \Nto drawing the bow. First, you bow. Then you take sliding steps \Nto your designated spot. It's okay.

When was it, and where? The only thing I remember is the sound. A sound like a ray of light tracing\N across the sky, rending the darkness. Mom, what was that sound? That's called tsurune. It's the sound made by the bowstring when a bow fires an arrow. Tsurune... Rise! Begin! The boys' team final will now begin. In range one is Kirisaki Private Junior High. Number one: Narumiya. Number two: Takehaya. Number three: Fujiwara. In range two is Ishikawa First Junior High. Number one: Komatsu. Number two... Forgot my towel. Uh... Down, Kuma! Jeez. Someone's sure in a good mood today. Good morning, Mr. Takehaya. Good morning, Minato. Seiya? Why are you here? Dad's got a bit of a cold. No morning walk for him today. So I volunteered to walk Kuma instead. How sweet of you. Your hair's all wet. Shouldn't you dry it off? Don't want to catch a cold on the day of your entrance ceremony, do you? Uh, isn't it your opening ceremony too? You knew? Your dad told me the other day. Too bad. I was hoping to bump into you at school and surprise you. I'm plenty surprised already. Well, I'm relieved that I can go to the same high school as you. I'm glad I got in. Couldn't you have gotten a recommendation to Kirisaki High? I bet Kazemai was a piece of cake for you. I was actually pretty nervous. I didn't know what to do if I failed the entrance exam. For us, the first-year class, \NKazemai represents new skies, a new frontier. And we hereby swear to flap our\N wings strong and wide without fear. I heard he topped the exam. First-year representative, Takehaya Seiya. Wow! Would you like to join the soccer team? Hey, you there! You've got a great body! What do you want? Uh, I was wondering if you'd like to play soccer... C'mon, don't scare the upperclassmen. Sorry 'bout that. My boy here's just got a mean resting face. Who are you calling "your boy"? Look, it's Nanao! Nanao! Hey, girls! The heck? Kazemai preaches academic and sporting excellence, \Nso recruiting is intense. Have you decided? What you're taking up. I'm not going to— Finally found you! Sorry! I'm not joining! Minato and Seiya, right? I'm so happy that we're back together in high school! Wait, are you Ryouhei? Yamanouchi Ryouhei? Long time no see! You've grown too much. I put on 30 centimeters since I transferred away. No wonder we didn't recognize you. You left in fifth grade, so it's been more than four years, huh? Nah. Actually, back in junior high— Friends reunited. The distance is again closed. Fun times have returned. Mr. Tommy! Tommy? This is Mr. Morioka Tomio, my homeroom teacher. So Tommy. I too have joined Kazemai as a first-year. Nice to meet you. You're Takehaya Seiya. Yeah. And you're Narumiya Minato, I take it? Right. Believe it or not, I'm presently carrying out a very important mission. In order to clear that mission, I need the help of trendy youth. Trendy youth? A mission? What is it?! I can't talk about it here. Let's take it elsewhere, shall we? What do we do? Don't ask me. Let's go! Huh? Wait, why?! Come on! It sounds fun! Wow, this takes me back. My mission involves revival. Starting a rebirth, if you will. You mean like necromancy? Reincarnation? Zombies? You're not exactly right, but you're not wrong either. All right. Come on in. Okay! This is amazing! The school has a wonderful archery dojo, \Nbut the archery team hasn't had any members for ages. And so, the principal tasked me with the mission of reviving the Kazemai High School Archery Team! Hell yeah! Back in junior high, we had to do a mandatory sport, so I've practiced archery since my second year. You did? Yeah! I was hoping to continue it in high school. Mr. Tommy! These two, Minato and Seiya, are amazing archers! Oh? They've got experience? That's right. They started in junior high. How'd you know that? Wow, three experienced archers at once! Wait... I've heard that some girls want to join too, so I suppose this mission is as good as cleared. Hang on a second! I don't plan on joining any clubs or teams. And why is that? Since my mother passed away, \NI've been handling most of the housework. Oh dear. Huh? Your mom passed away? I'm so sorry! I had no idea! It happened in the summer of sixth grade, so I'm over it now. Right. It would be a shame to lose out on you,\N but I can't exactly force you. How about you two? Count me in! It really sucks that Minato's out,\N but I still wanna practice archery. And you, Takehaya? I would love to join. Please let me. Wonderful. If you ever change your mind, Narumiya, do at least come to watch us sometime. We'll always welcome you with open arms. Sure. Minato. Are you sure? I'm done with archery. But I know... I know what you're carrying around, like it means the world to you. What's up, Kuma? Your owner might be late today. Not that I care. I'm good. Welcome back, Minato. Oh, hello. Isn't Seiya with you? He seemed to have something to take care of. I see. You and my son are the only ones to go from Kirisaki to Kazemai. Look out for him, will you? Of course. I'm home. Oh... He'll be late, huh? And here I was thinking of making ginger-fried pork for him. Kou, what club are you joining? Basketball. What about you, Hiro? Soccer! I'm joining the drawing club! That doesn't suit you at all! Why not? What are you laughing at? That's just too funny! Physical evaluations will be held next Tuesday. Make sure you read the handout beforehand. Also, your club registration forms. The deadline for them is next week too. Yes, sir. So, can we operate under the assumption that we're both official members already? Yeah. That's fine. In that case, about today's orientation for interested newcomers... Let's go, Takehaya. Oh, sorry. Minato, you jerk! Why didn't you tell me you leave through the back gate?! I've been waiting for you at the front gate! Ryouhei... Look, I need a favor. I can't. Yes, you can! Let's go to the archery team's orientation! No way! The Minato I know would never say that! When I couldn't eat the pineapple in my sweet-and-sour pork and nearly cried, you're the one who ate it for me! How many years ago was that even? Please, Minato! A bunch of weird girls showed up and stuff. It's really awkward. Weird girls? Merha! Is Nanao here? Still getting ready. Bail me out here! You're my hero, Minato! Don't talk like a grade schooler. We're in high school now, you know. Why not? What's so different? Target placement looks okay. All set for smooth sailing, huh? I have some good news. Two more experience archers will be joining us. Is that so? Yes. You've set up the target perfectly. Sir. I intend to carry out your archery team revival mission to completion. I'm counting on you. I saw you doing archery in the summer of our second year of junior high. You looked so cool that it got my heart racing. That's why I picked up archery at my junior high, but we only practiced once a week, so I'm still a total beginner. When I started high school and found you and Seiya here, I couldn't believe it! We've gotta do it! Fate is telling us to! If you're too busy with housework, I'll help out with that! Oh, I'll carry your stuff too! Nah, it's fine. C'mon, please. I'm begging you. Just for the orientation, okay? Hell yeah! Give that back! Have you done archery before? Nope. But hey, it seems chill. I saw an archery program on TV over New Year's. The ceremonial skirts look so good, don't they? Right? Yo, aren't all the girls here really hot? Does the outfit give them a boost? That boost could help us too, you know. Preach it. Merha! You're late. A teacher wanted to talk to me. The archery dojo is sacred ground. So shut it! Who's that? There's that Kacchan barrier. Nanao's cousin. But you know you shouldn't go around scaring girls off. Don't call me Kacchan. But you're Kacchan. I can't call you anything else after all these years. I can't believe I'm in the same high school and team as you. This blows. Why don't you join the soccer team, then? Archery is the only sport for me. Merha. I'm not like you, who started because he wanted to wear a ceremonial skirt. I don't wear that just because I look great in it, you know! You two boys both have experience, right? Could you come here for a second? Okay. Who are you? The female members of the\N Kazemai High School Archery Team. Seo Rika, Shiragiku Noa, and Hanazawa Yuuna. Nice to meetcha. Archery doesn't have gender classes. Be good teammates, okay? Sure. Nice to meet you. I'm Takehaya Seiya. I'm Kisaragi Nanao, and the scary guy here is Onogi Kaito! Who're you calling scary? Call us Nanao and Kacchan. That's fine by us. No, it's not. Where have I seen you before? The entrance ceremony, maybe? Coming through! Good job, Ryouhei! Ahem. Thank you all for coming to the archery team's orientation. Oh, feel free to sit at ease. First off, I have a request. Archery is a martial art. Mind your manners and etiquette. Yes, sir. Now, how much essential equipment does archery have? Huh? Two, bow and arrow? Close. There's one more. The yugake. It's more or less a glove. Well, let's have an experienced \Narcher demonstrate the routine. Narumiya Minato. Would you shoot a bit for us? Good. This wasn't in the plan. I can't. Besides, I'm not a member or anything. Most people here aren't. But you have Seiya and Ryouhei. I've heard that your form is exemplary. I would love to see it in action. You all want to see Narumiya shoot too, don't you? Uh, I... Hey. How heavy a bow do you use? Fifteen kilos. W-Wait! I didn't say I would do it! Nobody cares how good or bad you are. That's not the point. Quit dawdling when your name's been called. As an archer, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Hey... My arrows are a bit too long, huh? That's how you figure out the perfect arrow length. You can borrow my gym uniform. Narumiya Minato, was it? What's your hand size? Did you tell Mr. Morioka? Tell him what? That I'm carrying it around. I didn't. Hey, what will you do about the glove? I don't need one. Okay. Looks like we're good to go. In archery, there is an established routine for when you shoot. You start by bowing and then shuffle to your spot. It'll be fine. I'm fine now. I know I'm fine. You stand up, establish your footing, and look at the target. Then, you take aim. History won't repeat itself. And slowly but firmly draw the bowstring. That was quick. He shot really early. He must've gotten nervous with so many eyes on him. Let's try again. It's still happening! Archers always fire off two or four shots once they start. I still haven't recovered. It's been the same since back then. Bravo! Hey. What the hell was that back there? Take this seriously! That's why I said I couldn't do it. That's not what I'm talking about! You were sloppy as hell! As an archer, aren't you ashamed of yourself?! I'm not an archer anymore! Hey, hold it! Were you not feeling well, Minato? Minato! Takehaya, could it be that he... He has target panic. Why? Can't he just not let go? Only happens if you're desperate to hit the target, right? Narumiya's done for as an archer. He was in such good form too. Poor guy. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Don't worry about it, Minato. Wow. What a beautiful draw. Ow... An owl? Fuu! Who are you?
