A figure-skating ambition takes shape on the ice

Inori’s Olympic figure-skating dream faces practical and personal barriers: she is 11, struggles at school, and has a mother wary of repeating the disappointment of her older sister’s skating experience. The rink, however, is where Inori feels most herself. There she meets Tsukasa, a coach questioning his own future in competitive skating, and the two begin working toward their goals together. The supplied description introduces the manga’s central partnership and its emphasis on training, self-belief, and the pressures surrounding a young athlete’s ambitions; it does not specify the events unique to volume 4.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in figure skating and competitive sport
  • Readers who enjoy stories about young athletes working toward difficult goals
  • Readers interested in coach-and-athlete partnerships and family expectations

Book overview

This award-winning manga about one girl's journey to the Olympic figure skating spotlight is enthralling readers around the world!

"A story about learning to believe in yourself even when everyone else tells you you're not good enough." -Anime News Network

Inori is a little girl who dreams of becoming a figure skater. Yet, the obstacles to this dream feel insurmountable: Inori's already "too old" (she's 11); she's always had trouble at school; and, worst of all, her older sister's skating dreams ended in failure, so her mother is dead set against putting her other daughter through a similar experience. Still, the rink is the only place Inori can be herself, and she's out on the ice when a fateful meeting takes place. Tsukasa, a frustrated coach on the edge of giving up competitive skating himself, will join Inori to form an unstoppable duo powered by hard work, transcendent joy, and an unshakeable belief that they can prove everyone wrong.
