A rom-com manga on ice, perfect for fans of Princess Jellyfish and Wotakoi. Kokoro is the talk of the figure-skating world, winning trophies and hearts. But little do they know... he's actually a huge nerd! From the beloved creator of You're My Pet (Tramps Like Us).

A KNIGHT ON ICE

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?

[inlibrisveritas]

I don't really have a ton to say about this one. It was a bit of a letdown overall I think, since I didn't really connect to any of the characters and the tropes seemed cute but didn't really land. Admittedly shoujo isn't my go to manga genre, so this is more likely a case of "it's me" and nothing to do with the story itself.

I will say I hate Kokoppe's manager though. She's a freaking mess and her comments were pretty uncomfortable at times.
