A rom-com manga on ice. Kokoro is the talk of the figure-skating world, winning trophies and hearts. But little do they know... he's actually a huge nerd! Chitose is a career woman, with a job at a magazine and serious aspirations...except her childhood friend is an international figure skating star who won't stop distracting her! On the ice, Kokoro Kijinami is a flawless, gallant knight, winning trophies and hearts alike, 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! So when a business trip takes her away from Kokoro's biggest competition yet, what will happen without Chitose there to work her magic? No library descriptions found. |

The love triangle and inability to communicate feelings is pretty standard for romance manga, but I like the figure skating and otaku elements. I did feel a little overwhelmed by the more than two dozen characters introduced in the first volume though. How am I supposed to keep them all straight? (Rhetorical question. I keep a note sheet of characters, of course.)
I have the next two volumes on hand from the library, and I'm looking forward to diving into them over the next couple days. ( )
