Here’s how Pony Canyon describes the plot of Tsurune: Linking Shot:

"The story opens with Minato Narumiya beginning his freshman year at the local Kazemai High School. Mr. Tommy, the advisor to the Japanese archery Club, is keen to recruit Minato and his childhood friends Seiya Takehaya and Ryohei Yamanouchi. Ryohei convinces the reluctant Minato to attend the Club's orientation, where he also meets Kaito Onogi and Nanao Kisaragi."

It further continues:

"Singling Minato out, Mr. Tommy introduces him as a rare Japanese archery talent and asks him to demonstrate in front of everyone. However, Minato's arrow fails to hit the mark because a serious condition afflicts him… Minato, Seiya, Ryohei, Nanao, and Kaito. Japanese archery brings them together. What will they attain as they struggle through their beautiful yet “bitter” youth?"
