Medalist Synopsis
There was a time when Tsukasa Akeuraji dreamed of becoming a pro figure skater. However, he began pursuing his dream too late in life, and as a result, the grandeur he sought eluded him. Accepting the loss of his dream, he becomes a coaching assistant, but that choice is what leads him to Inori Yuitsuka. An introverted and self-doubting grade schooler, Inori’s ability on the ring far outpaces what she thinks herself capable of. Realizing that destiny has intertwined them and seeing himself in Inori, Tsukasa becomes her coach and dedicates himself to stoking her talent. With his support, Inori finds the courage to aim for the dream she’s long hidden, becoming an Olympic medalist.
