Love the story and the art

Lovely story about discovering how to express emotions and cutting off oneself from the bad past and finding meaning in another person. I really like Nayuki and Vasily's mentor-student relationship. It's quite like Yuri On Ice but there was more subtlety to it but also somehow feels more passionate (and a bit taboo). It leaves their relationship to the reader's interpretation, in my opinion, and may not necessarily end with romance. Personally, I find the two waaaay too touchy-feely for there to be nothing (they feel very domestic and attached) but who knows what the author had in mind.

This was short, yet very good read! The MC’s beautiful figure skating was definitely the highlight of this manga. Other than that, this was a special experience in that the story briefly touched on mental health. Definitely reminded me of Yuri on Ice with the whole Russian instructor deuteragonist lmao. I liked the development me of their relationship even if it wasn’t romantic. Vasil’s ballet history was a nice touch. Both ballet and figure skating tend to be visually appealing sports. Loved the art and the general message of the story. “Finding yourself.” Just wish this was longer.

It may have been just me but I just couldn't bring myself to really connect with Ibara. I've read shorter series than this and even gloomier (low-key depressed) mains that I've liked, hated and everything else in between. With Ibara I'm indifferent. It doesn't really help that the panels jump from a scene to the next without much cohesion.

I don't know much about figure skating and so as an introduction for it, this story was fulfilling till the very end.

pluckaduck

it def had the potential to bloom into a romance between the two, but ig author wanted a different type of love without all the sexual desire, which makes it arguably more special and tender. it's also better plot-wise, since this story is about mc finding a sense of self in figure skating with the help of a mentor. making it about romantic feelings for the other, in my opinion, cheapens it.

Kyun~

I believe this should be a shounen ai hahah

Looks like the character is inspired by Yuzuru Hanyu
