This is well written and thoughtful for manga standards. If you love figure enjoy more delicate sports such as figure skating or ballet (and I only mean delicate in appearance, as they are pretty hardcore in practice) there is a lot of love and inside knowledge here by the author. From the presentation of key locations to coach relationships it is quite realistic. I reccomend it, it's a tale that doesn't overstay its welcome and has consistent characterisation, and is touching and mature at moments. It handles heavy subject matters at points that are sadly very prevalent problems within these arts. It's not remarkable or revolutionary butit has care and attention, and sometimes thats enough.
