Preliminary (6/? chp)
Hi, I'm a figure skater.

This manga is incredible and I can attest to that. (TL;DR at bottom)

STORY: 9

It's a simple premise, a journey of Inori's way to an Olympic medal, but that's what makes the story so great. With such a simple plot, there's no limit to what you can do with it if you know and care for the sport. (Which, the author absolutely does, considering nearly everything to do with actual figure skating is factual.) For example, they incorporate actual skating culture into the manga, which unfortunately is a culture of classism and superiority complexes, but the culture also attributes to the plot ...

Preliminary (46/? chp)
This is a premier, top of the line, character focused, theme heavy, sports manga about striving for victory. The primary conflict is about Inori trying to work her way to becoming No.1, e.g. Gold medalist, but there is so much beyond that.

Tsukasa has his own themes about sacrifice, chances give up on, making sure the next generation has better opportunities than he was given. Hikaru has her own set ...

Medalist is a new manga that people have probably heard of recently through twitter, and currently has almost no following outside of Japan. If you haven't checked it out already, you definitely should.

It is a very promising manga with a lot of potential so far. The art is fine for the most part, but really shines during emotional bits and parts where they are skating. The author is great at drawing figure skating.

The passion and interest the author has in figure skating really shines in their work here, and the character dynamic between the coach and student is absolutely great. If you came here ...

Preliminary (3/? chp)
I'm gonna write this from Volume 1 (until Chapter 3)perspective only and review as a sport manga reader and Figure Skating fan.

It's been a while since we get manga/anime about Figure Skating. 1st manga I know was Ginban Kaleidoscope from 2003 and then; Yuri on Ice anime, in which, was okay but it was below my expectation in term of sport entertaining aspect.

Story:
Now, we get to see manga about Figure Skating(FS) which focused on Competitive skating. Tsukasa, a retired average-no-job Ice Dancer met Inori, low self-esteem, 5th Grade girl who sought to learn FS but started a tad late according to her age. Nonetheless, she ...
