posted on by Anita Tai
The staff for the television anime of Tsurumaikada's Olympic ice-skating manga Medalist announced on Sunday the series will get a second season.
Former Olympic skater Akiko Suzuki choreographed the skating routines in the first season of the anime, in collaboration with retired figure skater Yuhana Yokoi and active competitive figure skater Hinano Isobe.
Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Tsukasa, whose dreams were crushed. Inori, left to fend for herself. These two share a dream...and their tenacity may be the only thing that sees them through. Their destination? The ice...on the world's stage!
Tsurumaikada launched the manga in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine in May 2020. Kodansha published the 12th volume on January 22.
The manga won in the Best General Manga category in last year's Shogakukan Manga Awards. The manga won Best General Manga at Kodansha's 48th annual Manga Awards in May.
