アイススケートのリアル

The reality of ice skating

This review contains spoilers. アイススケートがやりたいけどなかなか言い出せない遅咲きの小学生と夢を叶えられず挫折したアイスダンス選手だったコーチが出会い、アイススケートのリアルを伝えながら魂が熱くなるストーリー！まじでオススメ。

This review contains spoilers. A story where a late-blooming elementary school student who wants to ice skate but can't say it easily and a coach who was an ice dancer who was frustrated because he couldn't make his dream come true meet, and his soul heats up while telling the reality of ice skating! I seriously recommend it.

キラキラが伝わってくる絵

A picture that conveys sparkle

氷上での演技中のキラキラしているように感じられる描写が好きです。キラキラしてます。お話と絵柄がすごくマッチしていると思います。

I like the depiction that makes you feel like you're sparkling during the performance on ice. It's sparkling. I think the story and the design are a perfect match.

強さと美しさ

strength and beauty

フィギュアスケートという競技は本当に難しく、苦しく、恐ろしいものだけれど、とてつもなく美しいのだと再認識させてくれる作品です。私は司先生のスタンスがすごく好きで、才能という言葉に引っ張られない、再現性のある指導をしようとする心意気に感動しました。ただそれは、いのりちゃんの着実で真摯な努力があってこそ成立するもの。2人のコンビネーションがかみ合った、素晴らしい努力の成果だと思います。成人男性と未成年の子供のバディものとして、これほどまでに強い絆を感じることができる漫画作品はもうでてこないんじゃないかと思いました。いのりちゃんが金ピカのメダルを勝ち取るところを見るのがとても楽しみです。

It's a work that makes me realize once again that the competition called figure skating is really difficult, painful, and terrifying, yet incredibly beautiful. I really liked Mr. Tsukasa's stance, and I was moved by his spirit of trying to give reproducible guidance without being pulled by the word talent. However, it is only possible with Inori's steady and sincere efforts. I think it's the result of a wonderful effort where the combination of the two meshed together. As buddies for adult men and underage children, I thought that comic works where I could feel such a strong bond would not come out anymore. I'm really excited to see Inori win a gold medal.

アニメと一緒に漫画も読んで欲しい

I want you to read comics along with anime

主人公の成長を見守り、頑張れ頑張れ出来る絶対出来る！と共感を一緒にするようなエネルギッシュあふれる作品です。アニメ化もされておりそちらもパワフルですが、アニメでぬるぬる動くものをもう一度力強く確認するために何度も読みたくなる作品です。子供も大人も勇気をもらえる作品です。習い事やってやめた人とかもう一度やりたくなるかも…ですね！

Watch the protagonist grow, do your best, work hard, you can definitely do it! It's an energetic work that makes people sympathize with each other. It has also been made into an animation, and it's powerful, but it's a work you'll want to read over and over again to confirm once again what's slimy in the anime. It is a work that gives courage to children and adults alike. It might make you want to do it again with someone you stopped taking lessons with... huh!

魅力的

tempting

モノクロなのに光の表現に惹かれます登場人物もそれぞれ魅力があり嫌いなキャラがいません司先生といのりちゃんがとにかく可愛すぎる！

Even though it's black and white, I'm attracted to the expression of light. Each of the characters is attractive, and there aren't any characters I don't like. Tsukasa sensei and Nori-chan are just too cute!

米津玄師さんからでしたが…

It was from Kenshi Yonezu, but...

米津玄師さんのお勧めから読み始めましたがあまりの作品のクオリティの高さにどハマりしました！エロやグロのようなシーンも一切なく純粋なスポーツ作品なので、小さいお子さんにも安心して読ませられます。いのりちゃん以外もみんな良い子ばかりで、全員応援したくなる！！オリンピックのフィギュアフィーバーに乗ってメダリスト人気ももっと上がるといいな！とにかくお勧めなので全人類読んでください！！！！！！！！

I started reading it with Kenshi Yonezu's recommendation, but I was so addicted to the high quality of the work! It's a pure sports work without any erotic or grosy scenes, so even small children can read it with peace of mind. Everyone except Inori is a good kid, and I want to cheer them all!! I hope the Olympic figure fever makes medalists even more popular! Anyway, I recommend it, so please read All Mankind!!!!!!

アニメから入りまして

I joined from the anime

単行本も読みました！　漫画のこのシーンが、アニメではこうなるのかぁと、特にスケーティング場面の再現度にゾクゾクしながら見比べています。原作が面白いので、応援したくなりますね！フィギュアにも詳しくなれて、競技を見る時わかりやすい。氷上なのに激熱の世界が素晴らしく、人気に納得な漫画だと思います。

I read the book too! I'm particularly thrilled to see if this scene in the manga would be like this in the anime, especially the degree of reproduction of the skating scene. The original story is interesting, so I want to cheer for it! You can also learn more about figures, so it's easy to understand when watching competitions. Even though it's on ice, the fiercely heated world is wonderful, and I think it's a comic worthy of popularity.

みんなのフィギュアスケートに懸ける情熱とか努力しても報われるとは限らないけど努力しなければ報われるものすらないっていう色々な事が伝わってきます。成長挫折成長の繰り返し、怪我による選手生命リスクはスポーツやっている方なら身に覚えのあることなのだと思いますが、改めて大きな怪我なくみんなが全力を出し切れるといいなと思いました。好きな作品増えるとお金が……とちょっと思っていたんですが友人に勧められるともっと早くに読んでおけばよかった！となった作品です。ちょうどオリンピックも始まりますし、初めてちゃんと見てみようと思います。

It conveys everyone's passion for figure skating and various things such as the fact that hard work won't necessarily be rewarded, but if you don't make an effort, you won't even be rewarded. If you play sports, you are familiar with the risk of athlete life due to repeated growth setbacks and repeated growth injuries, but once again, I thought it would be nice if everyone could do their best without major injuries. I was hoping that more works I liked would make money... but if my friend recommended it to me, I wish I had read it sooner! It is a work that has become. The Olympics are just starting, and I think I'll take a good look at it for the first time.

ちょっと気になっただけなのに…

I was just curious...

This review contains spoilers. あの、もうほんとに手短に言うと最高です泣正直フィギュアスケートの世界は全く無知だから、見かけてもこんな漫画あるんだー、程度だったのですが、絵が綺麗だし、なんと言ってもいのりちゃんの目に惹かれちゃって気になって読んじゃいました。。。もう、沼です。ほんとに。。まず絵が綺麗！！！(2回目)描写が細かくて、飛ぶ瞬間の氷の散り具合とか、ライトの光とかほんとに綺麗でぶっ飛びます。ちなみに私は司先生のガリじゃない、程よい筋肉が付いていて締まっている感じが大好きです。。そして、なんといってもいのりちゃんと司先生の二人で乗り越えるという覚悟が描かれてるのがもう号泣です。なんにも出来なかった、自信のなかったいのりちゃんがフィギュアスケートに本気になってから、自分自身を奮い立たせてメダリストになっていく姿に感動だし、司先生の真っ直ぐな言葉とか行動一つ一つがしっかりいのりちゃんの成長材料になってて、一緒に喜ぶ、悲しむ、悔しがる。。ほんとに素敵です。泣もうハマりすぎて、最近はYouTubeでフィギュアスケートの中部大会とか全日本ノービスとか見ちゃってます。リアルで取り組んでいる子達にもこんな、いのりちゃんみたいな夢や目標があって、挫折も多く経験しているけど、そこから這い上がろうともがいてもがいて一生懸命練習しているんだろうな、、なんて思うとほんとうに涙が止まりませんでした。。。とにかく読んでください。続きが読みたくなります絶対に。後悔しません！！！！

This review contains spoilers. Um, in a nutshell, it's really awesome. Crying honestly, the world of figure skating is completely ignorant, so even when I saw them, there were comics like this, but the pictures were beautiful, and no matter what I said, I was fascinated by Inori-chan's eyes, so I was curious and read them... It's already a swamp. really.. First of all, the picture is beautiful!!! (2nd time) The depiction is detailed, and the way the ice scatters the moment it flies and the light of the light are really beautiful and pop off. By the way, I love Tsukasa sensei's feeling that he has just the right amount of muscle and is tight... And, after all, the fact that it depicts Inori-chan and Tsukasa sensei's determination to overcome it is already crying. I'm moved by the sight of Inori-chan, who didn't have any confidence, getting serious about figure skating, inspiring herself and becoming a medalist, and each and every one of Tsukasa sensei's straight words and actions are solid materials for Inori's growth, and they are happy, sad, and frustrated together... It's really nice. I'm so addicted to crying that recently I've been watching the Chubu Figure Skating Championships and the All Japan Nobis on YouTube. The kids who are working on it in real life also have dreams and goals like Inori, and they've experienced a lot of setbacks, but I really couldn't stop crying when I thought that they were struggling and struggling and practicing so hard... Please read it anyway. It definitely makes me want to read more. You won't regret it!!!

アニメ見て読みにきました！

I watched the anime and came to read it!

TVアニメを見てとても面白かったので原作漫画も読みにきました！アニメでは惜しくもカットされてしまった細かな描写やモノローグがあり、同じ物語のはずなのに初見のような気持ちで惹き込まれました。自分の場合は、クラシックバレエだったのですが、小さいうちから習わせるのが大事とかお金の話とか才能うんぬんの話とか少し共感できる部分もあり、感情移入してしまいました。そしてなんと言っても絵が綺麗。これは漫画からしか得られない感動です。

Watching the TV anime was so interesting that I went to read the original manga too! There were detailed depictions and monologues that were unfortunately cut in the anime, and I was drawn in as if I had seen it for the first time even though it was supposed to be the same story. In my case, it was classical ballet, but there were parts I could sympathize with a little bit, such as talking about importance, money, and talent, so I empathized with it. And after all, the picture is beautiful. This is an emotion that can only be obtained from comics.

めちゃ面白かったので、一気に読めました!

It was so interesting that I read it all at once!

今迄の下積みした努力の成果が、思う存分に発揮した展開で、ハラハラしながらも夢中で読み終えました。コーチとの関係性も良くて、主人公とのバディに思えて楽しかったです!

It was a development where the results of my efforts accumulated up until now were demonstrated to the fullest, and I finished reading it even though it was jarring. The relationship with the coach was also good, and it was fun because it seemed like a buddy with the main character!

超最強スポーツ漫画

Super strongest sports comic

漫画の絵の書き込みがすごくて何度も読んでます！！！！またアニメよりがっつり技の説明とかある気がして、深く読みたい方は絶対漫画も読んで欲しいです。小さい女の子に大人が救われる（広義）作品が大好きなので、いのりちゃんとコーチの司先生の関係が大好きです！めちゃくちゃ泣けるし手に汗握ります。

The comic picture writing is amazing and I read it over and over again!!! Also, I feel like there are more thorough explanations of techniques than anime, so if you want to read them in depth, I definitely want you to read comics as well. I love works where adults are saved by little girls (in a broad sense), so I love the relationship between Inori and her coach, Tsukasa sensei! It makes me cry so much and my hands are sweaty.
