review:
'Medalist, Vol. 1' by Tsurumaikada is a sports manga about competitive figure skating.

Tsukasa is a good skater, but at the end of his competitive years. That leads to coaching. One day while hanging out at the ice rink, he sees young Inori, who bribes her way in to skate by paying the rink owner with worms for his bird collection. Inori has started late in her drive to compete, but Tsukasa sees some incredible raw talent. He has to convince Inori she is good because her self-esteem is the target of everyone around her, but with her coach's help, Inori takes her first strides to competition.

I'm a particular fan of sports manga and this one, in particular, was especially good. I liked learning more about the sport and what the badge system is comprised of. The characters are appealing on different levels and the art shines.

I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
