During the Kyudo prefectural tournament in junior high school, his team lost in the group competition due to his Yellow Heart Disease, leading him to start avoiding Kyudo. After entering high school, although his close friend Shizuma Takehaya invited him to join the Kyudo club, it did not change his mind. However, after a fateful encounter with the highly skilled archer Masaki Takigawa, Minato decided to pick up the bow again and join the Kyudo club. Takigawa, who had a similar experience, decided to help Minato and resolved not to be like his own master. Seeing this, Shizuma, who had always supported Minato in the past, began to doubt his own purpose. The futures of these three individuals thus become uncertain. 3
