Knight of the Ice
銀盤騎士
Synopsis
Chitose, a magazine worker, gets distracted by her childhood friend Kokoro, a figure skater who secretly needs her to recite magical girl anime spells to land his jumps.
Chitose is a serious young woman, working for the health magazine SASSO. Or at least, she would be, if she wasn't constantly getting distracted by her childhood friend, international figure skating star Kokoro Kijinami! In the public eye and on the ice, Kokoro is a gallant, flawless knight, but behind his glittery costumes and breathtaking spins lies a secret: he's actually a hopeless romantic otaku, who can only land his quad jumps when Chitose is on hand to recite a spell from his favorite magical girl anime!
