It's a stretch but I wish it's on Inori's forehead and not Iruka's hand?
isn't inori like 11 or something? why did she say she's competing with her next year
I read somewhere that they didn't like the OP because it was like idolsbut it's not really weird for them to be doing some dance skating
>>286308480They are figure skaters not ice dancers
>>286308608They're still jumping in the OP
>>286308608They aren't doing ice dancing. They're skating in an exhibition/ice show. Like the gala thing at the end of the Olympics. It's not unusual or strange at all.
>>286308445She's currently 12. Juniors are 13-17, so she'll be a junior next year, and she'll compete against Iruka who will be 17.
>>286308480Twin tails, front and center. The way it's supposed to be.
Oh look, Hikaru's pillow has arrived

oh em gee...!hi hikaru!!
>>286312216starting with the training arc, so soonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qUO6lbaf-cwhere will she plant it?
>>286312326Why did she wave from 2 feet away like an autist instead of just saying hi?
>>286312326I've seen enough chinese cartoons to know that only demons have yellow eyes. She's here to steal my soul through my penis isn't she?
>>286312609that's like 30 feet with perspective
>>286312609You need to check the background characters.
>>286312216She deserved better
>>286311307He has to be bi at least
>>286312621she's a wolf
>>286312586Since the author apparently changed her mind about it and decided to censor it, I would guess it's just not in the anime at all, at her request. It's sad, I think it was unhinged and funny. But the scene is pretty great regardless, so maybe it'll be fine. Gotta love Inori standing up for herself.
>>286312216>Flat chest>Childbearing hipsLiterally perfect
>>286308426You shouldn't encourage grooming of little girls anon. That's bad.

>>286308480No, people don't like it because it sounds like shit.
THEY THINK I'M A FOOL!
>>286314150As if gay guy singing OP 1 was any better.
>>286312586I hope it happens off screen to make it lewder and so we can assume it's directly on the forehead.
>>286313375Those hips are flat. Given, not absolute sticks like the children, but not childbearing by any means.
>>286313259>Even a forehead kiss is somehow too much The absolute state of anti lolicon industry. The fault also lies with bitches like the mangaka.
>>286314396Miku's around the same age as Inori, give her one or two more years and she'll be ready for birthing a baseball team
>>286311529Blonde with yellow eyes is such a nice combination

>>286316001>coachesshe has multiple now?? is this ntr
>>286316073She technically always had two: Hitomi (Head coach) and Tsukasa (Assistant coach). But she'll get more.
>>286308608yes, you can tell based on the length of their skirts
>>286316073She gets two more, yes. An assistant coach and a physical therapist.
>>286312609Hikaru is unbelievably autistic, you have no idea how fucked up this child is.
>>286315580>>286315726
Are we gonna get the rain this season or will it be in the movie?
>>2863142631st OP is definitely betterbut 2nd OP is one of the best this season
>>286312609Getting too close to Inori could be dangerous. The juices would overflow and fill the rink, destroying the ice.
>>286313259>author apparently changed her mind about it and decided to censor it,99% is pressure from editors/publishers
>>286312609She was in front of her crush and just did what awkwardly came to her.
>>286316073It's Tsukasa's fault for refusing to take the wormpill
>>286313259>Since the author apparently changed her mind about it and decided to censor it>censorI actually think the hand kiss is way more accurate to Inori and Iruka's relationship both when it happens and throughout. It does a much better job of conveying Iruka's messy feelings towards Inori
totaldolphinlove
>>286317500She looks more like a sea cow
>>286317500Inori should dress like that
>>286317500>middle sister wannabe
>>286315597Inori's not that stacked
>>286317500Imagine licking those abs
>>286317500Mika...
>>286317442I honestly don't get it at all. A forehead kiss makes sense, she's basically treating Inori as a little baby and trying to get a rise out of her. But putting her hand on her forehead and then kissing her own hand? That's... just not something anyone would do, ever. It's just weird. Like the author changed her mind but couldn't just erase the whole frame, so she tried to make the kiss more indirect, or something. It's just goofy.
>>286318458Iruka is weird, anon.The reason she does it, is that she's conflicted about her own feelings. Iruka feels that Inori's sister abandoned her when she needed her, but she still has some feelings for her. Inori also reminds Iruka of Mika when she was younger (same braid, same shitty jumps).It makes a lot more sense for it to be a strange and awkward gesture than a straightforward kiss.
>>286317500Mika really fucked up, huh?
>>286318594She's straight
>>286318607doesn't matter, she still should've met up when Iruka was literally dying
>>286311307He literally likes Hikaru doe.He's cute
>>286317500Her personality sucks but man is she hot.
>>286318806Her personality is great, you just didn't get to know her yet.But think about how you'd feel about sharing the ice with a bunch of annoying kids.
>>286318831Do I get to go into the showers with them?
>>286318856yes, but they're probably more annoying than on the ice.
>>286318875I can correct them
Lets all bully coach tsukasa
>>286319241Hikaru is such a bitch, but she secretly wants Tsuakasa to coach her.

>>286321539I like her uniform
>>286323348Does she has any friends at school?
Post the abs pic.
>>286323397No. She spends all her time in school daydreaming about Hikaru, and when classes are over, she's first out of the classroom on her way to the ice rink.
Manga inori is so much prettier than anime Inori
>>286323665At least she's friends with Hikaru, right?
>>286323665You would think she'd have made friends after starting to get famous as a figure skater. She's in middle school now right so she should've been able to make a new school debut.
>>286323879She's weird and dumb, it's a miracle she doesn't get bullied
>>286324091She's not dumb! She's just bad at math. And science. And geography. And language studies. And history. And chemistry. And literature. And... NOT gym class.
Hana's performance. She's not high level like Inori, but Medalist inspired her to go back to competing after years stopping.https://youtu.be/jvjrb-PSe-w?si=VLixxlpuEyBVT8Ps
Is the reason why we haven't seen Suzu perform is that she's a actually highly skilled and a hard hurdle to overcome despite being a joke character?
>>286323847She knows KUNG FU?
I'm kinda hoping to see some of Inori's school life. I'm sure being a National Figure Skater doesn't hurt her popularity?
>>286324648>joke characterShe's like just below Hikaru's level
>>286323847
>>286325299
>>286325470What is this expression trying to convey?
>>286324970It wouldn't even cross her mind.
>>286319264Tsukasa should've taken the Starfox job and ended up as Hikaru's coach.
>>286325904>runs out of the classroom>happy to see the car is there because she won't have to wait and will get to the rink earlierHow can she be this adorable?
>>286326043With Hikaru and Suzaku there the Inoribowl would get ugly quickly
>>286326270Now I really want to see that.
Do we get to see Iruka skate a full program soon?
>>286318594totally
>>286324648>joke characterExcluding Hikaru, Suzu is literally the best figure skater of the younger girls in all of Japan. This isn't a secret or spoiler or plot twist.
>>286326955Yes, but she's still mostly a joke character. She's there to talk about how cute she is, and seethe when she loses to Hikaru. She isn't given any character development or any sympathetic background, and isn't presented as an obstacle that Inori must overcome. At least not yet.
>>286321518I love her permanent :3
>>286327125She'll get some development either near the end of the season or more likely in the movieShe'll also probably join team japan later on along with Hikaru so she'll get more depth thenThat being said, this manga is extremely Inori centered so even Hikaru as the main rival gets relatively little screentime compared to other sports manga
>>286327125I honestly think Suzu would be a more interesting rival, Hikaru's fine but for the most part she's just the usual genius-type character that these stories usually get other than her not being a cunt
>>286327260Hikaru got a whole ass arc. Which unfortunately wasn't great.

>>286315850br*tish teeth
>>286314263shit taste
>>286327125I'm guessing that will come in the next arc when Suzu and Hikaru move up and join Inori in juniors.It will still be too early to let Inori win against Hikaru since she has to stay on the Jun path of invincibility until the Olympics, so Suzu is the obvious next target.Of course, Inori doesn't give half a shit about Suzu, but Suzu might one-sidedly shit her pants at the prospect of getting bumped down to 3rd place, and we might see her PoV for a few chapters.
we only have 4 more episodes?

>>286330157Wolves eat worms
>>286329909>Hikaru since she has to stay on the Jun path of invincibility until the OlympicsJun already made her dump him. The only way forward for Hikaru is to lose and insert herself into Inori's circle.
>>286330175That was still part of his plan. Since he dumped his coaches too.If she's going to deviate from his plan before the olympics and she and Inori switch to an equal rival dynamic where they swap 1st and 2nd places all the time, I don't think it'll be until at least 2 years later in-story.
>>286330172That doesn't sound right
>>286330419Worms eat wolves
Salchow subs are good
I paid for the latest raw chapterDahlia pwned Inori as expected, but only by 0.3 points
>>286330206A large part is that Hikaru is nothing like Jun. She is already questioning his way and she's been trying, in her own autistic way, to get Tsukasa to accept her.
>>286330680>Salchow are the exact same as CR trannylators inserting their own agenda into the showWhich agenda?>instead of just fucking translatingThey used the dubtitles as base for their own subs in season 1. That's at most editing and translation checking, not translating. It's unclear what they did for the S1 batch or season 2.

>>286312216Dat thigh-gap...
>>286331336Next chapter we will get the best scene
my main problem with this series is how dull everyone's performances are other than the jumps like everyone just does the most basic version of spins with minimal features or variations not to mention choreographic elements like this >>286318806 which there are so many they could do but its just boring real figure skating is much cooler
>>286332003sorry wrong thread bros
>>286330580>>286330882That's not even a "pwn". Inori has a quad and Dahlia, as far as we can know, doesn't. As long as Inori skates clean with her usual quality, there's literally no chance Dahlia can win. Tsukasa is actually really excited by this result, he can practically smell Inori's win.
>>286332010This is girls Novice/Junior level. They have jumps, spins and either steps or choreography, not both.Real figure skating is way worse these days, at least for men's because it's literally just jumps.Spins, step and choreography all suck ass these days.Women's is better (even if the jumps are worse), but if you look at the coon girl, her GoE was pretty shit and her steps were also pretty low level.
>>286332010That's a problem irl figure skating too, technical elements give more points than artistic ones so it's common to focus mostly on those, especially early one, they've even mentioned that in the manga how in the higher levels the artistic elements can give you the edge since most skaters are near the top level when it comes to the jumps already
>>286330580Dahlia only barely edging out a win in SP, which is Inori's current biggest weak spot means Inori is the clear favorite. Which means she'll choke and place 4th again
>>286332050There were really only two ways this arc could go, either Inori wins the SP and loses the FS or the other way around and one is clearly more interesting to read than the other
>>286332095>>286332084There's actually this big drama brewing with Tsukasa suddenly going all serious since this is chance to give Inori that medal he wanted to give her since Novice Nats
>>286331336I hope Rioh's never ending humiliation ritual continues
>>286330906APPS.
>>286308426It was originally. They censored it in the tankoubon release
>>286332116The panel here looks ominousI think Inori is going to choke again and Tsukasa will think he is not worthy to be her coach or some shit
>>286332407imminent coach swapJun is incredibly compatible with Inori, despite her being a shitter. And while he claims he lost interest in her, I'm not sure how honest he was about that. Stealing Inori also lets him kill three birds with one stone.He gets to create a more powerful rival for Hikaru, pushing his protege further, he gets to train another, incredibly promising young skater and he gets to take away Tsukasa's reason to take his own skating seriously.Despite his outwardly rash personality, he does want the best for Tsukasa and Inori after all
what if Tsukasa coached Hikaru and Jun coached Inori
>>286331223He was just jealous of her abs. He has the same reaction when Inori flashes hers
>>286332583Tsukasa/Hikaru is a strange pair, because while they are similar in both how they approach skating and have a similarly inhuman ability to learn, she's significantly more skilled than him.In general, the Jun/Hikaru pairing is weird, because Jun made it where he got through sacrifice, by giving up all the other things in his life to get better. But Hikaru doesn't need to do that, she's already a demon, there's no real need for her to give up anything. Tsukasa is similar to her in that regard, he never had anything to sacrifice to begin with. He already started out with nothing. His overprotectiveness would go a long way to enable Hikaru, likely beyond what Jun (or any other coach shown so far) could get out of her.Jun/Inori is honestly a perfect match, because Inori is perfectly willing to throw away everything for the medals, she doesn't care about falling and trying again, she's precisely the sort of suicidally inhuman student Jun wants Hikaru to be.
>>286331996Will they animate this?
>>286332665>ew, female muscles
>>286331006酸っぱい葡萄
I don't understand this. So he retired but still wants to ice skate without anyone knowing about it, so they have this agreement to keep it all secret?Why doesn't he just keep skating professionally? It's not like his skills are declining or anything, they said he's gotten even better.
>>286333759Also after he retired it showed a scene of him in his home with the TV broken, like he's pissed off at being retired.Did someone force him to retire against his will or something?
>>286333759>>286333787His motivation is still a mystery
>>286333759probably afraid of ruining his perfect record
>>286327358>Hikaru got a whole ass arcBut she has no ass.
>>286333787He thinks he ain't got it anymore and it would stain his perfect record if he choked.He has severe autism, like half the skaters in this show.
>>286332116>Tsuruma calls ENGI "the Inori of anime studios"lol
>>286334660what do you think the arc was about?
>>286332116Serious Tsukasa looks evil, lol.
>>286335429Love confession to Inori, obviously
>>286331746>Accept what?Accept her has his daughter-in-law
>>286330817>Hikaru>to get Tsukasa to accept her.bruh what.
>>286333759He hated the responsibilities and other bullshit associated with being the best in the world as they are largely not about skating.He just wants to enjoy himself on the ice in peace, but if anyone unreliable knows about it, he'd immediately be dragged back into what he hates.
>>286335738please be patient this child has autism
>>286316001This shota's really cute, I hope he wins
>>286335952The only reason why Tsukasa is still alive is because Inori likes her coach and Hikaru loves Inori.
>>286330920>>286330942Are they not just re-timed dubtitles anymore?
>>286336224Hikaru absolutely wants Tsukasa to coach her.
>>286336224why not just have her arrested for assault
>>286336300> admit to a policeman that you've been harassed by kids.Tsuka's life is already tough
>>286336224Why doesn't he corrects her right there?
>>286308480Just started watching season 2. I don't like the new OP or ED at all. They sound horrible and the OP is unfitting for an ice skating series. I very rarely skip OPs/EDs (and that's usually because I'm trying to get through a series quickly) but I might have to this time.The OP's animation is okay but it doesn't tell a story as well as season 1's. I would have preferred figure skating but I guess ice dancing is close enough. It's the song that I dislike more.
>>286337288I think it fits in a cheesy way
>>286336779She corrects him >>286335738
>>286337288It does fit the more optimistic tone of the season, not that things will stay like that for much longer.
>>286337288It grew on me. Still nowhere near as good as the first OP, but it's got its charm.

>>286325299What did she mean by this?
>>286339738It's that arousal reflex acting up to seeing double trouble
rioh only wants tsukasa sensei's thick cock
>>286339938Proof?
>>286339944I love her she's so funny and cute
>>286339981Can't post that in a Christian imageboard
>>286339995Out of 10!
>>286339944>Things may happen!Wh-what things?
>>286339973Rioh really knows what he wants. Sensei's cock.
>>286340096He only wants a cool onii-chan!
>>286339938If that's the case she better have pubic stubble.
>>286339944What's she gonna do, amazonpress me?Haha
>>286339944I want to rough her up so bad...
>>286330120>I still haven't watched the latest episode, is it as gay as anons were saying?it started with dinner then Jun lit a cigarette and dicks were sucked.
>>286340607That's barely any gay.
>>286341052That's just the intro, before opening
>>286340096Inori will be getting it first.
>>286340734The sheep will NTR the wolf of her shrimpworm
>>286341522I can't remember the last time she and Inori talked
>>286332407>>286332116Mikumo from WT is great to root for, because he is a shitter who has many jobbed jobs under his belt, but its not a constant beatdownInori choking again would be just shitty
>>286319360Suzu trains the hardest, if anyone beats Hikaru it should be her
Is unbelievable how entertaining is to read about the gay/frenemies relationship between these two kids
>>286342419Me on the right
>>286339263And Main
My jap is kind of shit and I could only figure out about half the kanji, what was Dahlia apologizing to Inori about?
>>286342953It's for what she said to Inori in chapter 54 before the practice started.
>>286341785That's because it has never happened. The sheep only admires Inori from afar.
>>286343293She should stop being timid and confess to Inori
>>286343367Better not, she's reaching her moody teen phase
>>286340734I want to straighten her hair
>>286340734I want to knit a sweater out of her wool.
inoripussy
>>286337444She's just acting like a mesugaki asking for correction
>>286340063>>286340274
>>286341449true. backflips were performed after. they had a truly acrobatic session
>>286344720I really want to choke her until she cums
>>286344175Conceptualize the tightness
I refuse to believe that Inori won't win the free skate. Everything thematically, narratively, and by pure necessity mandates that she will win. I will never forgive the author if she throws.
>>286342953She apologized for calling Inori impertinent at the opening ceremony thing.
>>286345626Agreed. The "resilience" theme feels like a red herring. The only thing I don't like about the newest chapter is Tsukasa thinking they're close to victory. That's usually not a good sign. But literally everything else points to gold.
>>286344720Suzu will be the final boss
>>286345626>The whole "world ranking" talk where they stated you don't need to be gold to enter olympic>muh resilience She is jobbing again
>>286345626Would like to see it, but would not surprise me of she comes up short again.
>>286346346I kind of want her to get 4th or something so hikaru is completely mindbroken after losing her coach and inori breaking her promise.
>>286346300The Olympics are way, way off. Her points now won't matter for that.
>>286346696There should be a small timeskip soon after this arc is over, then we'll get to see Inori with her longer hair
>>286339768kiss her cute chestfeel her little heart fluttering away
>>286344175imagine plunging her clunge
>>286345626it will fit the theme and narrative that inori is a jobber... If only her oneesan continued, to bring glory to the Yuitsuka family.
>>286346885Prime age Inori will be a beautiful thing to behold.
>>286344720I love this little gremlin like you wouldn't believe
>>286347990same, but this gremlin
>>286347990Smart gremlin>>286348057Dumb gremlin
>>286315334>inori ending up with anyone other than hikaru or tsukasaThis is wrong.
>>286348530Don't be too mean to Inori. There's plenty of time to learn multiplication in high school!
>>286308480Any kind anons can upload a webm right at this part of the op with music please.
>>286348828High school is optional in japan, Inori will drop out
>>286321539She's very cute and I love seeing her do her best.
>>286337288The ED is great though.
>>286349541Inori and Hikaru will be the dumbest power couple.
>>286346885The real question is whether Inori will still be 146cm after the timeskip.
>>286346885And bigger boobs
>>286351048Asking the REAL questions.
I still haven't picked up the manga yet because I'm too afraid of getting to scenes like this. I hate this part of myself.
>>286314066>>Shotacon good>>Lolicon bad>Anime in a nutshell.You are talking about it as if it was something bad
>>286344175I need to sniff.
>>286345941>Tsukasa thinking they're close to victoryBut they obviously are.On TES, Inori is uncatchable for any of the other girls in FS and she's improved dramatically in PCS as well.Unless she gigachokes, she should win easily with her high SP score.
>>286351048I hope she stays smal while Hikaru keeps growing
Why did he lie?
>>286354303Because he didn't know Inori is a genetic freak and not normal.
>>286354515I meant the author
>>286354515To be fair, they already have a genius at their club, they probably thought they could create another
>QuadsTheir bones are going to be fucked up by the time they're 18
>>286354821They can take it as long as they remain small
Inori can really take a beating, huhShe won't break no matter how rough it gets
>>286353324Yep, even Dahlia seems to think she's fucked with that small lead. Still, Tsukasa thinking that way feels off.From a metanarrative standpoint, I don't think you can let Dahlia win the tournament after she's acted like a bad teammate like that, even if she apologized. So maybe it will be a surprise Korean victory.
>>286351314It's fine, the suffering arc should be about to end
>>286355093>Tsukasa thinking that way feels off.It's fine, this is a similar situation to the 2A+Eu+3S.
Why is that Manakas design in the anime is so erotic when in the manga she was just another gremlin ?
>>286354821Do bones bend with time?
c58 is an absolute cinema
>>286351314You just can't express the beauty of figure skating that is all about motion in a manga in still frames. Anime > Manga
>>286355887you absolutely can, Iruka's thailand FS is unadaptable.
>>286355815Spoiler that
>>286356193It's just weird poses and reaction shots
>>286345941>The "resilience" theme feels like a red herring.Not even that.Bouncing back from her devastating failure at the nationals and winning the JGP would be a great display of resilience.
>>286355137He was smiling and laughing that time.Now, he's serious, saying "I've gotta make her win this I've gotta make her win this I've gotta make her win this".It's like Inori's 3Lz. It can't lead to anything good.
>>286355303you should post her manga design
>>286347990I never noticed before that Suzu has horizontal pupils like Yoh and Yuuna.True to her deer name, most of the time they are wide open and appear pure black
>>286355887That's where you're wrong, kiddo.The anime uses motion capture of actual skating, but the manga makes the skating appear more vivid than reality.It is is surreal.
>>286356661
>>286356914it's still pretty hotshe sure likes showing skin
>>286356846I currently see no way the anime could possible capture Hikaru's FS at Novice Nationals. Let alone her quadspam FS for Inori.
What subs should I use? Salchow?
>>286357335Either watch it raw or take the Japanese subs from the raw and run it through machine translationNo other good options unfortunately
>>286357204growing like a weed~
>>286357335salchow
>>286357204Getting cuter every year. How is Hikaru going to be able to resist THIS?
>>286357300The main thing I really don't see them even coming close to reproducing with how they've used 3DCG so far is Dahlia's SP (mainly the 2A). The actual skating motion capture is very detailed, and I don't think Hikaru's not entirely clean quadspam FS would require anything all that special.
>>286359286It's not just about the skating, but the emotions conveyed, the heightened reality of manga.I see some ways to direct it, by having the stands be empty save for Inori, but it fundamentally requires a retooling of the scene and a large step away from the fairly visuals of the anime thus far.
>>286357406Still shorter than Hikaru
>>286360643Inori said after seeing my worm
>>286359286>I don't think Hikaru's not entirely clean quadspam FS would require anything all that special.They add extra rotations in editing, right?I don't think the motion capture actress can even do doubles.
>>286325077I hope we get to see Suzu find out that she's popular for her skating skill, not her cuteness. I want to see her pout (cutely).
Not sure if I want to wait for the movie after this season or read the manga...
>>286361551>Suzu wins the gold at the Olympics >People talk about how cute the girl in 2nd place wasWhat a terrible fate
>>286361689Easy call. Read the manga. You need more shrimp in your life.
>the massacre of the jobbers montage in episode 2>have the cutest girl fall in her first (on-screen) performance just to illustrate the danger of saving your best jump until the end The author is mean...
>>286362629But the cutest girl's performance wasn't even shown.
i want the official plushie, but at a price of almost 100 dollars to bring it home, is too much. Do you know how much chicken breasts i can buy with that money in my country ?
>>286363771almost 20 kg where i live
>>286363771I love the subplot of her mindbreaking Tsukasa into liking worms
which way dolphin woman
>>286364403whynotboth.gif
>>286364403Childhood friend privilege means she's entitled to both.
>>286363185Did the manga showed her performance?
>>286364548stop being greedy, irukait's ok you deserve both for having to endure all that bad shit with your parents
>>286364403It's not quite oyakodon, but close enough.
>>286364702Isn't it shimaidon?
>>286364744that's not a real dish.
>>286356808>I never noticed before that Suzu has horizontal pupils like Yoh and Yuuna.I think that's just because she's spinning there, she usually has regular eyes
>>286364784
>>286355303https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY67FjntmNw
>>286364928Just look at how flat and cute her chest is
>>286357335APPS.
>>286365847lol
I can't wait10/10 with or without glasses
>>286365982You're not getting anything better than that.
>>286362271Damn, are those whole-page ads for the manga? They look cool as hell.
>>286366110I'll take salchow over that lol
>>286366060Mikute!
>>286363185>Didn't get to see the princess carrySad>>286364784The closeup on the second panel is so cuteI hope the movie does all their performances justice
>>286366295Enjoy your Mickey Mouse.
This arrived in the mail today. I'm so happy.
>>286366295Enjoy your weeks long wait for edited dubtitles.If you're just catching up, sure, they're probably the "best" subs.
>>286366060Almost as cute as Suzu
>>286321539>International athlete>Still eats alone at school This is kinda sad
>>286348776>TsukasaHe's not into children >HikaruShe's just a rival to Inori, Hikaru's crush is one-sided
>>286367171She's not in school here, she's just hanging out in some park or something.
I do wonder what would've happened if Inori beat Hikaru at the novice all japans. Would Jun have left Hikaru as he said he would've if she lost? Would Hikaru have been happy to find an equal or would she have shown her true cold-hearted nature? Would Jun literally give Tsukasa a blowjob?
>>286367976Doesn't she has to quit skating if she fails to get 1st place?
>>286367976>Would Jun have left Hikaru as he said he would've if she lost?Yes.>Would Hikaru have been happy to find an equal or would she have shown her true cold-hearted nature?She would be thrilled, she wants nothing more than to be dominated by Inori.>Would Jun literally give Tsukasa a blowjob?Absolutely.
>>286366500You don't know niponese
>>286366569false
>>286368558I don't? Damn, thanks for telling me. I wish I had known that before I bought them.
tfw she pulls on your worm
>>286367976I don't think the author even knows what to do or where to go with the series post Hikaru loss/Inori win hence why that didn't happen in any capacity like her winning the first part, but choking the second.
>>286359286The "I experienced more suffering than you that means I deserve the win" is getting stale as fuck. If Inori doesn't win next tournament I'm probably dropping this manga.
>>286330044Don't forget the movie!
>>286330536They're the best ones I've seen, so it's a shame they take ages to come out.
>>286355096I keep telling myself I can take it, I don't want to see Inori suffer at all, much less endure a whole arc of it. I think it would break me and force me to lose faith in humanity.
>>286330536This is false.
>>286371970You eventually get used to seeing her suffer
>>286364784She's so cute!
>>286371970Inori was designed to maximize suffering, that's why she's so dumb and bad at everything other than skating
>>286366060Cute skater, I can't wait to see her have a long and successful career.
why did japan fall in love with censorship
>>286374620see >>286318539
Are there any inori x raccoon fanarts?
wait so is iruka gay?
>>286376279For Mika, yes.
>>286376279After being raped by her drunk uncle she has no interest in men
>>286376459>her drunk uncleThat's me
>>286372337See >>286372337
>>286377731See >>286377731
Why do Medalist threads turn into r/Medalist threads whenever Salchow is mentioned? Makes you think...
>>286377862As ever, manga threads good, anime threads bad.
>>286357204Inori's early design made her look way too young
>>286377862THEY THINK I'M A FOOLTHEY THINK I'M A FOOL
>>286370651>The "I experienced more suffering than you that means I deserve the win" is getting stale as fuckThis is precisely what Jun believes and he is clearly positioned as the antagonist (even if he isn't really opposing Tsukasa and Inori and wants the best for them), which means he will likely be proven wrong eventually.
>>286381036this makes me wonder if Inori will ever do a dancing competition with Tsukasa
>>286381255no, but they'll do pairs.
>>286381036imagine how freeing it would feel to ice skate nude
>>286381387that's what I meant. pairs dancing like he did before becoming a coach
>>286381411some people really oughta masturbate before they make comments online
>>286381411People probably attempted that. Imagine ice skating naked together with Tsukasa...
>>286381509Pairs is different from Ice Dance.
>>286381859you know what I was talking about.
>>286363880
>>286383536Classic reverse grooming
>>286381520
>>286383536
>>286356616>>286356633This is why I think shit's gonna go BADLY wrong leading to Tsukasa blaming himself for whatever happens and seeing himself as a failed coach and having Inori either have a new head coach or even a new camp altogether. This will in turn pivot into some kind of major drama with Hikaru that completely tanks whatever good vibes Inori had for her.
>>286385275while Jun is a free agent now, it feels a little too early for Hikaru/Tsukasa vs Inori/Jun
>>286369718Does she even likes worms?
>>286376279you thought we were joking? look im not gonna call it a yuri manga by any means but if you are a manga reader you should realize by now that the theres some /u/ shit going on with iruka, inori and hikaru, im not not mentioning mika because she barely gets screentime but shes relevant when it comes to irukanow I should also mention the /y/ side of things despite not being a fan of it, the only faggot scenes you might get from the manga are the ones from rioh but they dont last much and at certain point of the manga they are gone
>>286385275Inori has never jobbed on a competition where Hikari didn't compete ever since the Ema incident waay back.
>>286387306>and at certain point of the manga they are goneYeah, because Rioh is gone.
>>286377900In my opinion that's hardly ever true, manga threads are full off crossboarder and attention whore translators.
>>286387955I mean yeah but he gets a bit of screentime in the hikaru's arc, which coincidentally destroys all the /y/ delusions
>>2863877934th place at the one where she met PLOY SUPERBUND
>>286388177that's part of the JGP series, doesn't count as jobbing if she wins the finals
>>286308426why is this character voted number 1 by japanese fans?
>>286388253because of stuff that will happen after this season ends
>>286388273In the movie?
>>286388316After the movie. She starts to get more focus the summer after the season currently being shown leading into the JGP stuff. The main scene that probably made her as popular as she is was a little later on though.
>>286381036Is this the endgame of the series?
>>286388092If there's going to be any romance in the story is going to be either Hikaru x Rioh or Inori x Suzaku, but I doubt anything happens before the next time skip
When will the next chapter get translated?
>>286388502No, Inori should be in the male role.
>>286376279She's a little obsessed
>>286389073Inori is tiny, Hikaru is already towering over her.
>>286389197Inori can still grow a bit, her sister is a bit taller than her so Inori could at least grow to reach her height
>>286389073>>286389197Isn't Inori a switch?
>>286389681pairs is mostly a matter of size and strength.Inori is too small to throw Hikaru.
>>286389642>Inori can still grow a bitI'm not so sure about that
>>286389757Does she likes worms too?
>>286332010My biggest problem is all of the time skips. I want to watch Inori train and improve, not jump to a higher skill level between episodes. While Inori was recovering, the story should have switched its focus to Hikaru.
>>286389073True. Inori can already throw Rioh around since she has a six-pack!
>>286389757do you have the full res of that doujin?
>>286391094nevermind, I see it now
>>286388253>Beautiful>Talented>Hard-working>Rough outer shell from abandonment issues but a loyal and kind nature underneath>Is constantly betrayed by her parents and soldiers onThe Japanese are just rooting for her to get a happy ending despite everything trying to fuck her over
Bump limit reached!
>>286339263That's the biggest problem with this series. So many good girls. Not enough time for most of them to avoid becoming background characters. There's potential for a lot of side stories and spin-offs focusing on different girls/clubs.
>>286389642Considering Mika's height, Inori should be able to grow 5-10cm more at most, so she'll more likely remain shorter than Hikaru
>>286392941Yeah, even popular characters like Iruka are doomed to fade into the background, she and Dahlia will probably disappear soon to make room for Hikaru and Suzu in the team
