Medalist - S02

Tsukasa Akeuraji once dreamed of competing as a solo figure skater, but starting too late left his ambitions unfulfilled. Now barely getting by, he settles for an assistant coaching job, accepting a future far from what he had hoped for. Before his first day, Tsukasa meets Inori Yuitsuka, a timid fifth grader sneaking into the rink to practice. Though deeply drawn to figure skating, she’s held back by her mother’s overprotectiveness and her own lack of confidence-until Tsukasa recognizes the raw talent hidden beneath her hesitation. Touched by Inori’s quiet determination and reminded of his own struggles, Tsukasa agrees to coach her, helping her pursue the dream she never dared to speak aloud. The path ahead is tough, filled with rivals and new challenges, but Inori commits herself fully, aiming for the Olympics and the chance to stand on the podium one day.
