Trama di Tsurune The Movie: The Beginning Arrow

Ever since he was a child, Minato Narumiya has always been fascinated by kyūdō, the traditional Japanese archery, a passion born when his deceased mother took him to see a competition. On that occasion the little Minato was completely enraptured by the “tsurune”, the sound of the arrow shot. Thus, during middle school, the little boy becomes a great promise of this martial art. However, the idyll with the bow is suddenly interrupted when Minato is no longer able to practice this martial art as he would like, ending up not hitting the target anymore, so much so as to abandon the discipline taken by despair.

Arriving in high school, however, Minato rejoins archery thanks to the school club and new school friends, as well as old childhood friends.

Under the guidance of a young teacher, the boys will aim to win the prefecture’s tournament.

As anticipated, Tsurune was adapted from an anime series (prequel to this film) which premiered in Japan on the NHK-General channel in October 2018 and available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
