Synopsis
Archery freshman Tetsuya meets mysterious transfer student Gonzaburou, whose gender and secrets defy expectations.
Tachikawa Tetsuya is a freshman at a new high school and he wants to become a great archer, like his late grandfather, Fudou. One day, a new transfer student joins his class. In a surprise to everyone, it is a cute girl and not a guy like the rumors were saying... The name is Sasaki Gonzaburou, and... "she"... or maybe "he"... well, this person has some "little" secrets.

- 3 “Yea, this is a really short series that somewhat funny but at the same time makes you kind of sit there wondering WTF Mate. Characters are not well developed for a reason (2 episodes 4 min each)...”
