Synopsis

“You will never win against me.”

Figure skater Kensei Maeshima stopped his career when he heard those words from his rival Reo Shinozaki. Some years later, Maeshima, now a high schooler, uses his physical talent to help other clubs with various activities, while never committing to any one thing.
One day, he sees a press conference where Shinozaki announced that he was shifting from single skating to “skate-leading”, a unique form of figure skating ,where each team of five skaters earns points for technical skills and artistry.

He then met a boy named Hayato Sasugai, who knew of Maeshima’s single skating career. With the words, “I need you,” Sasugai invites Maeshima to the world of skate-leading, or competitive team-based skating.
