Father's Basement

A former athlete avoiding the sport after one bad incident is standard drama machinery, and the tournament goal is equally familiar. Japanese archery changes the texture. The club cannot move forward without disciplined practice, while Minato cannot simply pretend the range means nothing to him.

Minato played Japanese archery in middle school, but after a certain incident, he ran away from the sport. In high school, Minato meets new friends, and together as part of their school's archery club they aim to win the prefectural tournament.
