キャラクターが生き生きしてて楽しいです

The characters are lively and fun

登場するキャラクターたちが皆表情豊かな上に、その表情が全部面白いです。フィギュアスケートのことは全く知らなくても楽しく読める漫画です。

The characters that appear are all expressive, and all of their expressions are interesting. It's a comic that you can enjoy reading even if you don't know anything about figure skating.

今後来るマンガ

Manga coming in the future

少女と青年、互いの夢そして想いが合致したのは氷の上。日本におけるフィギュアスケートの現状にも自然と切り込んでいる、フィクションとしても、スポーツ漫画としても楽しめる作品です。作品内の時間経過がわかりにくい＝技の習得が早いようなところはありますが、悪くない塩梅です。それよりも、各話ごとに浮き沈みする主人公たちの意識が変化していく部分が一番の見どころ。続きが待ち遠しい作品です。いのりちゃん！台のてっぺん立ってくれー！

The girl and young man matched each other's dreams and feelings on ice. It is a work that naturally cuts into the current state of figure skating in Japan, and can be enjoyed both as fiction and as a sports comic. There are places where the passage of time in the work is difficult to understand = techniques are learned quickly, but it's not bad Shiobai. Rather than that, the biggest highlight is the part where the consciousness of the main characters changes as they rise and fall with each episode. I can't wait for the continuation of this work. Inori! Please stand on the top of the table!

すごく面白い！

It's so funny!

テレビでしかフィギュア見てなくて単純に綺麗だなぁとしか思ってなかったけどこの作品を読んで選手がいかに努力して上りつめたかがわかります。一気に読みました！すごくおすすめです！

I only watched the figures on TV, and I simply thought they were beautiful, but by reading this work, you can see how hard the players worked hard to get ahead. I read it all at once! I highly recommend it!

金メダル！

gold medal!

This review contains spoilers. 先生と主人公のいのりと共に金メダルを目指して成長していく様は感動のお話です。遅く始めた2人の共通点だからこそ先生は情熱的にいのりの教え込んでいき、いのりも吸収が早い！いくつもの試練を乗り越えて目指せ金メダルです。

This review contains spoilers. It's a moving story about how they grow up aiming for a gold medal with the teacher and the main character, Inori. The teacher passionately taught prayer because they both started late, and they are quick to absorb prayer! Overcome a number of trials and aim for a gold medal.

絶賛はできないけどおもろいはおもろい

I can't get rave reviews, but funny is interesting

おもしろいけど素性のわからない都合の良い天才少女すぎて光ちゃんだけがずっと気持ち悪い。都合の良さならいのりちゃん含め他の子もそうではあるんだけど、光ちゃんだけいつまでたっても詳細隠されてるのが気持ち悪い。絶対的強者だったとこからいのりちゃんの追い上げを目の当たりにして顔に汗出るような描写も見え始めたけどいきなりのキャラ変に見える。彼女の設定だけが受け付けない。コーチが子どもたちにかける言葉は、幼心に傷をつけないよう選ばれてるなって感じで良いと思う。（夜鷹は除く）

It's funny, but Hikaru is the only genius girl who is so convenient that I don't know her identity, and only Hikaru feels so uncomfortable. If it's convenient, that's the case with other kids, including Inori-chan, but it's disgusting that only Hikaru keeps the details hidden no matter how long it's been. I began to see depictions of Inori catching up from where she was an absolute strong person and got sweaty on her face, but suddenly the character looked strange. I don't accept only her settings. I think it's good to feel like the words the coach says to the children were chosen so as not to hurt their childhood. (Excluding night hawks)

魅力的なキャラクターがたくさん！

Lots of fascinating characters!

いのりちゃんと司くんの関係性はコーチと生徒であり、お互いがお互いを救う存在になっているところがとても素敵です！他のキャラクター達もそれぞれに魅力があって見所満載！フィギュアスケートの選手になるためにはスタートからどんな事をこなして選手になっていくのかが細かく分かり、更にフィギュアスケートが面白くなりました。

The relationship between Inori and Tsukasa is a coach and student, and it's so wonderful that they both save each other! The other characters also have their own charms, and there are plenty of highlights! In order to become a figure skater, I understood in detail what kind of things to do from the start to become an athlete, and figure skating became even more interesting.

フィギュアスケートに懸ける執念が熱すぎる

My obsession with figure skating is too hot

This review contains spoilers. 「遅すぎる」と言われた少女と、夢破れた青年コーチ。二人が出会い、氷の上で奇跡を起こそうとする姿に1巻から涙が止まりません。競技の華やかさだけでなく、その裏にある狂気的なまでの努力と情熱が、圧倒的な画力で描かれています。全人類に読んでほしい、最高に熱いスポーツ漫画です！

This review contains spoilers. A girl who was told “it's too late,” and a young coach whose dream was shattered. I can't stop crying from volume 1 when the two meet and try to cause a miracle on ice. Not only the glamor of the competition, but the insane effort and passion behind it are depicted with overwhelming drawing power. This is the hottest sports comic I want all of humanity to read!

楽しい！！！

fun!!!

相変わらずドキドキする展開がたくさん！でも巻の1/3が別の漫画になってたのですが、あれは先生が過去書いた読み切りでしょうか？正直メダリスト目当てで購入したのでびっくりしました笑

There are still lots of exciting developments! But 1/3 of the volume was a separate comic, so is that a one-off that the teacher wrote in the past? Honestly I was surprised because I bought it for medalists lol

最新刊に注意（後半別漫画です）

Pay attention to the latest edition (this is a separate comic in the second half)

お話の内容には文句なし！すごく面白いし今後も楽しみ。ただ、今日発売の最新14巻（2026/1/22時点）に関しては、本編は3話分のみ（140ページ程度）で、あとはおまけ。極めつけに最後の80ページくらいは試し読みというていで全く関係のない別漫画が掲載されています。作者さえ違う人の本当に無関係の漫画が突然出てくる……！知ってても買うけど、でもそれはアナウンスした方がよくない…？と思ったので、ここに残します。ご注意ください。

I have no complaints about the content of the story! It's really interesting and I'm looking forward to it in the future. However, for the latest 14 volumes released today (as of 2026/1/22), the main story is only 3 episodes (about 140 pages), and the rest is a bonus. At the very end, the last 80 pages or so are called trial readings, and other comics that are completely unrelated have been published. A really unrelated comic with a different author comes out all of a sudden...! I'll buy it even if I know it, but wouldn't it be better to announce it...? I thought so I'll leave it here. Please be careful.

フィギュア好きだったから辛い思いが蘇る

I loved figures, so my painful feelings come back to life

This review contains spoilers. 伊藤みどり選手のトリプルアクセルが大好きで、その後に現れた浅田真央選手を応援して、と、フィギュアスケートが好きでした。だからこの作品にも興味があって読んでみたし、でもだからこその辛さで読み進める勇気が出ません……。作品自体は、いのりちゃんと司先生、ダブル主人公って感じで(読んだ範囲は)、単純な主人公強くなってくストーリーとは一線を画す良さがあります。けど、あの頃のフィギュアスケートを見ていた身としては、いのりちゃんの努力が報われるかどうかが心配すぎて心臓に悪くて、きちんと読み進めるのが厳しい……。素晴らしい演技に対して「色気がどうの」って言うアナウンサー、審判の裁量で決まる謎の加点や減点、狙ったようなルール変更……採点競技のドス黒さが、いのりちゃんにのしかかってくるんじゃないかという恐怖がすごくて、テレビ画面の前で悔し涙を流した気持ちが蘇っちゃうという。入り込める作品だからこその感情の揺さぶられ方なので、あの時代にトラウマが無い方であれば、この熱量ある作品を追いかけるのはとても楽しいと思います。いいな。

This review contains spoilers. I loved Midori Ito's triple axel, and I loved figure skating, cheering for Asada Mao who showed up after that. That's why I was also interested in this work, so I read it, but that's why I don't have the courage to read on... The work itself feels like Inori-chan and Tsukasa sensei are double protagonists (as far as I've read it), and there is something that sets it apart from a simple story where the main character becomes stronger. However, as someone who watched figure skating back then, I was so worried about whether Inori's efforts would be rewarded, it was bad for my heart, and it was hard to read on properly... The announcer who says “how is your sex appeal” in response to the wonderful performance, mysterious points added and deducted as determined by the referee's discretion, rule changes as if they were aimed... there was so much fear that the black character of the scoring competition would hit Inori-chan, and it is said that the feeling of shedding tears of regret in front of the TV screen comes back to life. It's a way to shake emotions only because it's a work you can get into, so if you aren't traumatized by that era, I think it would be a lot of fun to follow this passionate work. That's great.

細かさはやはり『漫画』動きは『アニメ』？

As for the details, is the “manga” movement “anime” after all?

スケート初心者でも十分読める作品　スケートかじった方なら秒で引き込まれます。私もアニメ1話見てから　読み始めて最新話（3月末現在）まで読破！こういったスポーツのリアル感（スケートは確かに高い　習い事）あと原作と　アニメの表現の違いを感じて読むと楽しいかもアニメは2期制作決定ですし　楽しみな作品です。

It's a work that even beginners can read enough, and if you nibble on skating, you'll be drawn in seconds. I also started reading after watching episode 1 of the anime and read through to the latest episode (as of the end of March)! After feeling the realism of this kind of sport (skating is certainly a high lesson), it might be fun to read it by feeling the difference in expression between the original story and the anime, and the anime has decided to produce 2 seasons, so it's a fun work.

名前が、、

The name is...

フィギュアスケートはもともとみるのが好きでしたが、選手のことを知れて、ストーリーはすごく好きです。ただ登場人物の名前があまりにも覚えにくすぎて、、頭に入ってきにくいです、、とゆうか覚えられません。わざわざ全員そんな聞いたことないような名前にする必要ある？と思ってしまいます、、

I've always liked watching figure skating, but now that I get to know the athletes, I really like the story. However, the names of the characters are so hard to remember... it's hard to get into my head... I can't remember them. Does everyone need to go out of their way to name them like they've never heard it before? It makes me think...

勝負に真剣なドラマ

Dramas that are serious about competition

This review contains spoilers. アイススケートの物語です。勝負に真剣な子供達とそのコーチのやり取りがとても良いなと思っています。ただ、小学生がこんな大人な考え方を持っていたら、ちょっと怖いなとも思ったり。成長物語なので、楽しく読んでます。

This review contains spoilers. This is an ice skating story. I think the interaction between the kids who are serious about the game and their coach is very good. However, I also think it would be a little scary if elementary school students had such an adult way of thinking. It's a coming-of-age story, so I enjoy reading it.

心に刺さる

It sticks to my heart

フィギュアスケートをしたことなくても、主人公たちを通して楽しさも苦しさもとことん胸を通して心に刺さる感じがたまらなく好きです。幼いながらの生意気さとか、弱さとか、強さに感動できる。大好きな作品！

Even if I've never been figure skating, I irresistibly love the feeling that the fun and pain through the main characters really stick through my heart. I am moved by their cheekiness, weakness, and strength at a young age. My favorite work!

This is the first time I've read a comic about skating. I really want to cheer them on, and I'm looking forward to growing! I love skating, so I'm looking forward to it being an anime that I can read in comics.
