完全に

wholly

ミーハー心で読み始めて沼りました。この作品のファンの方が主人公を激推しているのを見て気になっていたときにアニメ化で原作も読んでみようと。今ならその気持ち分かります。心をゆさぶられるとはこういうことなんだ、と思うし某歌手さんの歌がまたぴったりで…脳内でことあるごとに流れます。

I started reading it with my heart Meeha, and it became swamped. When I was curious to see that the fans of this work are strongly recommending the main character, I decided to read the original story in an anime adaptation. I understand that feeling now. I think this is what shakes your heart, and a certain singer's song is perfect again... it plays every now and then in my brain.

最高です

It's the best

今までスポーツ漫画にはまったく興味を持たなかった私がどハマり中です。感情の持っていかれ方がすごすぎる。こんなに気持ち動かされる漫画は中々ないと思います。

I haven't had any interest in sports comics until now, so I'm addicted to it. The way they take their emotions is too amazing. I don't think there are any comics that move me this much.

新たなステップ

A new step

This review contains spoilers. もう１つ上に向かうために覚悟を決めた二人のこの先が楽しみでしょうがない?アニメとの相乗効果がこれでもかと発揮されてる作品なのでコミック見てアニメ見直しての無限ループに堕ちっているのがヤバいです。

This review contains spoilers. aren't you looking forward to the future of the two who have made up their minds to move one step higher? It's a work where the synergistic effects with anime have been demonstrated even now, so it's dangerous that it falls into an infinite loop after watching comics and reviewing anime.

ある意味令和のみどりさんて感じ名古屋だし

In a sense, Midori from Reiwa feels like Nagoya

同世代の子よりも２年分小柄。スケートをやらせたら水を得た魚的な女子小学生。なんだか小さい女子選手と言うとみどりさんとダブるなあ。幼少時代からだと惰性でとか、親に強制、いやいややって地道な反復練習で挫折する子も多い。５歳で始めて5年経つ頃トリプルの前にダブルアクセルの高い壁。特に身長が伸びる頃に筋力のピークが来てあっという間に横幅がついて技術面が崩壊。こんなに女子学生にとって報われない競技って…。残酷過ぎる。オリンピックの17歳制限がかかってようやく20代も選手生命が伸びたけど。16歳にピークが来るタイプはその頃全滅する場合がある。マジでみどりさんがこの時代のタブレットとかトレーナー駆使して、怪我もケアしてたら、どの選手と競ってもやっぱり身体能力で突き抜けるよなあ。連載が長くなってどこで終わるか？が気になるけど、ロシアが不在で色々話が変更されてるかもしれない。モーションキャプチャーで本当にクワド跳べる人材が居ないとアニメも作画が困るしねえ。現実ではフィギュア人口は減って視聴率もヤバいけど漫画とアニメは別世界と言うことで派手にやって欲しいな。

Two years smaller than a child of the same generation. A fishy elementary school girl who got water when she made her skate. Somehow when it comes to small female players, they dub with Midori. Since childhood, there are also many children who are frustrated by steady repetitive practice due to inertia or forced by their parents. I started at age 5, and around 5 years later, I had a high double axel wall before triple. In particular, the peak of muscle strength comes around the time you grow taller, and the technical side collapses in no time. A competition that doesn't pay off for female students like this... That's too cruel. The 17-age limit for the Olympics has finally increased the lives of athletes in their 20s, though. Types that peak at age 16 may be annihilated around that time. Seriously, if Midori made full use of tablets and trainers from this era and took care of her injuries, no matter which athlete she competed with, she would still be able to get through with her physical abilities. Where will the series end when it gets longer? I'm worried, but the story may have changed a lot due to Russia's absence. If you don't have human resources who can really do quad jumping with motion capture, you won't have trouble drawing anime either. In reality, the figure population is declining and audience ratings are terrible, but I want them to do it in a flashy way by saying that comics and anime are separate worlds.

今一番好きな作品

My current favorite work

読むたびにむせび泣いてます！いのりさんの成長、家族の成長、登場人物一人一人の人生に心が掴まれる最高の作品です。

I'm crying every time I read it! It's the best work that captures the heart of Inori's growth, the growth of her family, and the lives of each of the characters.

アニメから入りました

Entered from anime

This review contains spoilers. アニメも最初は見ようかどうか悩んでて、録画したのをためたままにしてました。そしたら息子が今期１番人気らしい、と言うので見たらもう一気にハマりました。そしてまた息子が、アニメより漫画の方がいいよ、と言うので読んだら、わかるわーって感じでこれまたハマりました。表現上手いですね。スケートの滑ってる感じも凄くいいです。司先生のお手本で滑るシーン好きです。いのりさんとの師弟コンビ最高もです。コマの端で手描きのセリフ読んだりすると、アニメでは味わえないツッコミが面白かったりして。久しぶりに青年漫画ジャンルで好きな漫画に出会えました。

This review contains spoilers. At first, I was worried about whether or not to watch the anime, so I saved up the recordings. Then my son said that it seems to be the most popular this season, so when I saw it, I was once again addicted to it. Also, my son said that comics are better than anime, so once I read them, I felt like I understood, and I became addicted to this again. You're good at expressing yourself. The feeling of skating is also really nice. I like the skating scene with Tsukasa sensei's role model. The teacher-pupil duo with Inori is also the best. When I read hand-drawn lines at the edge of the frame, I found the tsukkomi that I can't enjoy in anime interesting. It's been a long time since I came across my favorite manga in the youth manga genre.

紙で読むと迫力が全く違う作品

Works that are completely different in power when read on paper

アニメから入り、電子で試し読みをした結果、即１２全巻を紙で揃えた派です。３巻くらいまでは画力が拙いですが、そこを我慢して読み進めれば後はズブズブと沼にハマります。特にフィギュアスケートはスピード描写が命。それはスマホの片方1ページずつの細切れ画面では迫力は半減以下。特に10巻の夜鷹純の過去試合の美しさと迫力は圧巻です。これは紙でないと味わえない。氷を滑る音さえ紙面から聞こえてきそうな圧倒的な画力の描写。１巻の画力が嘘のようです。いのりさん同様、先生の画力向上のスピードも半端ないです。そして全巻読んで中弛みは皆無。のだめと同じくらいのキャラの多さを全て描き分けている凄さ。最後に司先生の性格の良さだけで星５付けてもお釣りが来ると思います。

It is a group that started with anime, and as a result of trial reading electronically, all 12 volumes were immediately arranged on paper. Drawing power is poor up to about 3 volumes, but if you put up with that and read on, you'll be addicted to the swamp. In figure skating, in particular, depiction of speed is essential. That's less than half as impressive on a smartphone's shredded screen with 1 page at a time. In particular, the beauty and power of Yataka Jun's past games in volume 10 is impressive. You can't enjoy this without paper. A depiction of overwhelming drawing power that seems like even the sound of sliding on ice can be heard from the paper. The drawing power of volume 1 seems to be a lie. Like Inori, the speed at which the teacher improved her drawing ability was incredible. Also, I read the whole volume and there was no slack at all. It's amazing that they all depict as many characters as Nodame. Finally, I think the change will come even if you give Tsukasa sensei only for his good personality.

頑張る姿に元気をもらえた

I was energized by the way they worked so hard

アニメが始まってから原作を読み始めました。なんで今まで読まなかったんだろうと後悔。漫画でここまで躍動感を感じる作品に初めて出会いました。可愛い女の子だけじゃない、挫折を味わって強くなれない今だからこそ元気をもらえた、応援したくなる作品です。

I started reading the original after the anime started. I wonder why I haven't read it until now, and I regret it. It was the first time I came across a comic that felt such a sense of dynamism. It's not just a cute girl, but it's a work that makes me want to cheer for it because I've experienced setbacks and can't get stronger now.

先入観がひっくり返る令和のスポ根ストーリーで大好きになりましたアニメもいいけど、漫画の勢いのある線の表現力がすごい

I fell in love with the Reiwa Spokane story where my preconceptions are turned upside down. Anime are good too, but the expressive power of the lines that have momentum in comics is amazing

表紙で決めつけてごめんなさい。

I'm sorry I decided on the cover.

以前から書店でグイグイ推されてるのもよく見かけていたのですが、「可愛い女子たちがわちゃわちゃするのは守備範囲外だわー」と全く興味が湧かなかった。しかし、アニメ３話までを見て、「あれ？面白そうじゃない？」と思った数日後には紙で12巻揃えてました。わぁ、爆速掌返し！魔法みたーい。ストーリーについては、いのりさん凄すぎない？とちょっと現実に戻されそうになることもありましたが、「漫画ですからー。主人公ですからー。」で許容できる範囲。だってそんなことどうでも良くなるくらいキャラクターが魅力的なんだもの！色んな師弟関係があって面白い。そしてコーチ陣も選手と一緒に試行錯誤している様子に感動してしまいました。そして画力！背景や演技の描写はもちろん素晴らしいのですが、何より表情に惹かれます。アスリートスイッチがオン状態でシリアスに描かれた喜怒哀楽も素晴らしいし、笑える場面での表情の崩し方も絶妙！気になっている方は、とりあえず３巻まで読んで決めていただきたい。

I've often seen them highly recommended at bookstores for a long time, but I wasn't interested at all, saying, “It's outside of defensive range for cute girls to mess around with.” However, I watched up to 3 episodes of the anime and thought, “Huh? Sounds interesting, doesn't it?” A few days after I thought about it, I had 12 volumes ready on paper. Wow, thunderous twisting! it looks like magic. As for the story, isn't Inori too amazing? There were times when it seemed a bit like being brought back to reality, but “it's a comic. That's because it's the main character.” within an acceptable range. Because the characters are so charming that you don't even care about that! It's interesting that there are so many teacher-pupil relationships. Also, I was moved by how the coaches were doing trial and error together with the players. And drawing power! Of course, the depiction of the background and acting is amazing, but above all else, I'm attracted to the facial expressions. The serious depiction of joy, anger, and sorrow with the athlete switch on is also wonderful, and the way they lose their expression in laughable scenes is also exquisite! If you are interested, I would like you to decide by reading up to 3 volumes for now.

The hard work to get to the starting line so far was very moving, and I feel a little lonely that the future will probably be a story of hard work to become a medalist

ひりひりするスポ根

Tingling spur root

12巻まで読みました。今、アニメ主題歌のMVもアップされてて話題になってたので読み始めた。競技ルールをカードゲームで例えてくれるので、わかりやすい。テンポがよくストレスなくよめる漫画。あと白黒表現がめっちゃ綺麗。よだかの不気味で浮世離れしてる強キャラ感がすごい。音楽とスポーツは小さい頃からの英才教育が必要だとは知ってたけど、ここまで過酷だとは。コーチと選手のそれぞれの関係が素敵だし、なんならコーチたちのノービス時代とかもみたい。司先生には競技に戻って欲しいし、この先いのりちゃんは闇堕ちしそうで怖いし、この先が怖い。オリンピックで金メダル取るって目標だから、光ちゃんとの勝負は避けては通れない。ライバルのどっちかが死ぬとか負けるって展開が苦手なので、結末を見届けるのが苦しい。

I've read up to 12 volumes. Now, the MV for the anime theme song has also been uploaded and has become a hot topic, so I started reading it. The competition rules are compared to a card game, so it's easy to understand. A comic that has a good tempo and is easy to read without stress. Also, the black and white expression is so beautiful. Yodaka's strong sense of character who is creepy and out of the ordinary is amazing. I knew that music and sports require gifted education from a young age, but they said it was so tough. The relationships between coaches and players are wonderful, and it's like the coaches were in the Nobis era. I want Tsukasa sensei to return to the competition, and I'm scared that Inori will fall into the dark in the future, and I'm afraid of the future. My goal is to win a gold medal at the Olympics, so I can't avoid a match with Hikaru. I'm not good at developments where either of the rivals dies or loses, so watching the ending is painful.

There are no characters I don't like, but it's a good work that won't stop the drama.

アニメを見て思わず既刊全巻購入しました！

I watched the anime and unexpectedly bought all the volumes that had already been published!

This review contains spoilers. アニメ化発表当初から作品の良さが話題となっていましたが、主人公が幼く、表紙絵が頭が大きく体の線が細い幼さのあるキャラが個人的に親しみがなかったので読んでいませんでした。会社から帰宅し、夜の9時に晩御飯を食べながら新旧問わずアニメを開拓していたのですが、自分好みのアニメに出会い尽くし、満を持してアニメを見始めました。予想以上の面白さにアニメ11話まで見て、即既刊12巻を購入しました。原作絵柄についても全くといっていいほど気になりませんでした。フィギュアスケートのルールや年齢制限、区分その他諸々、適度な説明がありとても分かりやすかったことが大変有難かったです。フィギュアスケートを題材にした作品はアニメでは見たことありましたが、本作は名も無き選手とコーチが｢奮闘｣という言葉では表現出来ない、過去の苦しさを糧に常に前進する姿に胸を打たれます。野球のルールが分からなくても高校野球漫画が好きな方は間違いなく好きだと思いました。実際のフィギュアスケートの成長スピードが本作と比較して実現性が高いものかは分かりませんが、主人公の才能はもちろん、メンタル面の成長がとても良かったです。作中の「フィギュアは奇跡を見守るスポーツ」という言葉が、読者の自分自身、｢いのりちゃん、降りろ！｣と願わずにはいられない様子と重なりました。12巻はとてもいい所で終わってしまい、次巻はいつだ！！と待ちきれません。この先もいのりちゃんの成長と司先生の成長をしっかり見ていきたいです。

This review contains spoilers. The merits of the work were a hot topic of conversation from the beginning when the anime adaptation was announced, but I didn't read it because the main character was young, and the cover picture was a childlike character with a big head and thin body lines. I came home from work, and while eating dinner at 9 o'clock at night, I was pioneering anime, both old and new, but I came across all the anime I liked, and I started watching anime with full satisfaction. I watched up to 11 episodes of the anime for more fun than I expected, and immediately bought 12 volumes already published. I didn't care at all about the original design either. I was very thankful that there was a reasonable explanation of figure skating rules, age restrictions, categories, and everything else, so it was very easy to understand. I've seen works based on figure skating in anime, but in this work, I'm struck by how the unknown athlete and coach constantly move forward based on past suffering, which cannot be expressed with the word “struggle.” Even if you don't know the rules of baseball, I thought people who like high school baseball comics would definitely like it. I don't know if the actual growth speed of figure skating is more realistic compared to this game, but not to mention the main character's talents, the mental growth was very good. The phrase “figures are a sport to watch for miracles” in the story is the reader himself, “Inori-chan, get off!” It overlapped with how I couldn't help but hope. Volume 12 ended in a very good place, when is the next volume!! I can't wait. I want to keep a close eye on Inori's growth and Tsukasa sensei's growth in the future.
