NHK revealed last October that an anime adaptation of Tsurune: Kazemai High School School’s Archery Club was coming in 2018. The property is based on the novel by Kotoko Ayano with artwork by Chinatsu Morimoto that came out in December 2016. While we knew Kyoto Animation was handling the production for it we now have new details thanks to a site refresh that includes the first promo below and the first key visual to the right.
Set for an October 2018 debut, it’s directed by Takuya Yamamura based on the series composition by Michiko Yokote. Miku Kadowaki is on board to handle the character designs.

Plot Concept: The “archery youth story” novel follows Minato Narumiya. 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.
