Summary
After the loss to Karasuno at Spring Nationals, Suna Rintarō drifts towards his third year of high school, with the question of ‘what next?’ looming over him. Kimura Arisa, a figure skater chasing senior-level, is slowly drowning under the weight of her own expectations and self-doubt.
When Arisa joins the boys’ volleyball team as a manager to prove she has balance and longevity potential to the Skating Federation, their paths cross at a moment when neither of them is ready.
It becomes not a question of if they fall in love, but whether love, first love, is enough to survive their ambition, exhaustion, and the creeping realization that growing up sometimes means growing apart.
This is a story about first love, competitive drive, and the ways people miss that they are losing each other. Not because they stop caring, but because the habits that feel harmless when you’re young don’t always stay harmless.
Adulthood isn’t as forgiving to those trying to fly.
