Critics Review
“One of the best manga of the year… Perseverance drives this sports manga, highlighting the sacrifices athletes and their families must make… Bolstered by dynamic art and a deep understanding of figure skating elements, this manga shines, just like Inori’s skating. Highly recommended.” –School Library Journal (Starred Review)“A beautiful sports manga with an uplifting message to never quit on your dreams or yourself… Every page is an adventure of visual craft with lots of detail, interesting layouts of paneling, and beautiful character designs… A good first purchase for all collections, especially those where sports manga featuring female protagonists are scarce.” -Booklist (Starred Review)“A story about learning to believe in yourself even when everyone else tells you you’re not good enough. Five stars.” -Anime News Network“An entertaining story about a figure skating coach and his pupil railing against the status quo to achieve their dreams.” -Comic Book Resources
