Iruka Okazaki, 17 years old, 2nd year high school student, born on 8/24 (Virgo), blood type B, 161 cm tall, attends Aisai Ride FSC affiliated with Makiou University. Her mother created a false alibi by saying, “My daughter is taking figure skating lessons,” prompting Iruka to attend a school in Osu. There she met and became friends with Minato. Although she joined the same Meibishi Crown FSC as Minato, she had to quit after Minato left due to trouble between their parents. Both of their parents had low empathy for others and maintained their marriage by doting on their daughter. After being forced to leave Meibishi Crown FSC, her parents took her to a shopping mall in Sakai, where they snuck into the nearby Meiko skating rink, where they were discovered by Seiji Gori, who was looking to establish a new club, and he helped her become the first student of Aisai Ride FSC. Now, she lives in a dorm at a high school with a skating rink, supported by the Gori couple in terms of mental care and daily life, while practicing at the rink on campus and at Meiko. Since moving away, her parents’ relationship has reportedly worsened, and the dynamics between them are changing into a twisted parent-child relationship. She wants to return to either of her parents, but she also has good memories of times when they shared meals together during calmer moments. Although she cannot see them anymore, she has not given up on communication. The diamond-shaped necklace she wears was bought with her earnings from her collaboration with a skater, as a commitment to continue skating after receiving some investment. She plans to sign a sponsorship contract after she becomes a senior next year.
A little?
What is this…?
This is the kind of story.
Aren’t you sad?!
Mr. Gori is seriously a saint.
I’m really glad to have met the Gori couple.
Shitty parent
If we only meet occasionally, we can be a good parent and child, but that’s too raw and really cuts deep.
>>6
Probably the most wicked adults in the story.
I have a little trouble understanding the part about having an ideal parent-child relationship after separating.
>>8
When someone is nearby, there’s a sense of dependency or that it’s natural for them to be there, which increases the harm done.
When we distance ourselves, we sometimes become more calm in our relationship.
>>8
The parents were not on good terms, and I teased them to facilitate communication between them.
However, I think that by putting some distance, the relationships between mother and child and father and child became separated, resulting in healthier relationships.
I thought about getting a divorce, but because I have happy memories with Iruka-chan as a family of three, I can’t give up…
>>8
It’s not that this is the ideal relationship when it comes to your parents and Iru-chan’s personality.
It seems like we shouldn’t be together, but it’s not to the point of cutting off our parent-child relationship…
Having a common oppressive presence called Iruka-chan distance itself and result in the worst situation between the couple is truly too terrible.
– Do not abuse.
– It does not provide support in terms of mental aspects or diet.
– Will invest.
I can only see about that much!
I’ve heard that sometimes a bad chemical reaction occurs when it comes to the relationship between parents and daughter.
The relationship between the couple has cooled, but it seems that the relationships between fathers and daughters, as well as mothers and daughters, have improved.
>>12
It feels raw and unpleasant there…
Because my mother supported me for the first time in Thailand, I’m happily saying I’ll buy a souvenir! However, there was a bit of a painful feeling in Iruka-chan.
Even though there are parent characters with more screen time who don’t have such detailed settings, the parents of Iruka-chan, who don’t appear, have all sorts of malicious settings revealed one after another.
Why did you leave me behind…?
The author has a hobby of clouding things up, doesn’t he?
>>16
I think I’ve seen Snufkin’s fan art, but Snufkin was crying.
That’s an unpleasantly realistic setting…
If this child had a real sister, they likely wouldn’t have been able to run away.
Parents who seem to exist like a model family.
It means we’ve reached an appropriate distance, right?
I think I should just cut ties with these parents… but Iruka-chan can’t give up.
>>22
Since each parent has a good relationship, it feels like they are simply not suited to be together with others as a couple.
It may be impossible for all three of us to get together, but if the father and daughter, as well as the mother and daughter, can get along, it can be seen as a blessing.
Could you not tone down that… um… raw feeling a bit more?
>>25
If anything, there was an upcoming sponsorship contract waiting for me to completely become independent a little later.
There is a possibility that they have sustained an injury that could affect their future career as an athlete.
I think that since Iruka-chan is successful, as a parent, I feel proud and am able to honestly praise them from a distance.
If the whole family is together, I might tease them.
The unfortunate thing is not being able to escape.
It’s nice how the bad attitude and teasing habit of Iruka-chan suddenly makes things more convincing.
Not good.
It seems likely that my relationship with my parents, which had developed a good sense of distance during this important time, will become messy because of the injury.
It is good to have a setting where people who are dedicated to the competition have an environment that they can immerse themselves in and a compelling reason.
No, it’s tough…
The only ones who aren’t grounded are Hikari-chan and Inori-chan’s genius level.
The manga depicts that skateboarding is mostly hard and painful.
>>32
(Isn’t the thread picture an unrelated painful story about skating…?)
Isn’t it incredibly tough apart from skating?
If Iruka-chan has children in the future, won’t the same tragedy happen again?
It’s a family environment that seems like the breeding ground for a serial killer.
It is quite mysterious how a daughter who can care so much for others was born from such parents.
>>37
Thanks to my sister Minato and the Gori couple, I guess…
I’m glad that my parents aren’t involved in a cult religion.
Was it good…??
It’s too painful to get seriously injured in this environment.
Who would be a good voice actor for Iruka-chan? Someone with a slightly disheveled vibe would be nice, right?
>>42
Personally, I prefer Tomoyo Kurosawa.
The female figure skater is heavily supported by her mother.
There seems to be a lot of people who are either completely absent or extremely noticeable, as if they don’t have any shadow or shape.
It can be considered that Night Hawk Jun’s parents are quite something as well.
Of course, I’d even kiss my former rival’s sister.
>>46
I wonder who taught my sister to kiss her younger sister…
I don’t like the idea that these parents might casually slander other competitors if their daughter becomes famous.
And so, Iruka-chan ended up having to apologize.
I can’t believe that Nairuka-chan grew up normally with this.
>>48
But the way of communicating is not proper…
I will take skating away from you, Iruka-chan!
>>49
Pay all your possessions to make a contract with the devil.
What’s with the intense parent-related parts popping up in the fanbook?
>>51
Interview Results
>>51
Don’t think that having a top-class athlete as a child makes you a saint.
Sponsorship contract… injury…
Sponsor: “I don’t have money to give to broken players!”
Is this how it’s going to end up… ?
It’s too sad that I’m finally getting closer to my ideal by keeping my distance.
It’s sad that even though you’ve been raised like that, the dolphin-chan choosing souvenirs for your parents seems a bit happy.
Don’t worry, the parents don’t appear at all in the main story.
Well, it seems pretty likely that someone would start figure skating for the sake of their parents’ pride…
Well, there’s also a case where an older brother became a beautiful humanoid Vtuber.
Because they are people who cannot feel stable unless they are attacking others together with someone.
I guess when I’m with Iruka-chan, we end up talking bad about the one who’s not there and getting excited about it.
Don’t just leave me behind nonchalantly.
If Iruka-chan hadn’t achieved results, it seems they wouldn’t have provided any money either.
Poor Iruka-chan…
Inori, it’s okay to take a little more care of yourself.
It’s impressive to have kids participate in sports that cost hundreds of thousands to millions a year just for the sake of appearances…
>>68
That’s why it can be said that it is deserving of showing off.
In this world, there are only good adults… it’s a kind world…
The relationship between the couple is still terrible, but the father-son and mother-child relationships have improved, which is an incredibly high resolution.
Is it 8K?
Is it a clan that cannot maintain their sanity without making enemies…?
>>72
Looking at Iruka-chan’s attitude towards Inori-san, it seems that being confrontational has become the norm for her.
It seems there are editors at Kodansha who give instructions like “You can add as much background setting as you want, but don’t include it in the main story.”
>>73
What calm and accurate advice it is!
>>73
It was terrible when I removed the cover of Witch Craft Works…
It’s sad, but there’s nothing we can do about it; being a single parent can make you a good parent.
It’s not an element that needs to be deeply explored in the main story.
I only did one page.
Well, they must have been a financially comfortable family.
I didn’t intend to really abandon it when I left it behind.
I wonder what kind of reaction it will get~♪ It must be such a trivial motive.
>>79
No, it’s not exactly bipolar disorder; at that moment, I was seriously thinking of giving up.
But at the same time I think that the spoiled one who says not to come back will definitely come back.
If I go too far, it might change genres.
Well, whether or not to involve my parents directly is another matter.
Even though Iruka-chan is in a position with no way to retreat, she ended up getting seriously injured, and that’s the story that will unfold from here.
No matter how terrible it may seem from the outside, children can’t easily discard parents like this.
It’s obvious, but Shinichirō’s connections are amazing.
>>84
It’s obvious that Sonidori-sensei is amazing!!!!!!!
A boarding school with a skating rink is the most fantastical, right…?
I thought I would check just to be sure, and it turns out that the only place in the country with a skating rink and a dormitory for athletes is Saitama Sakae Junior High School and High School.
Does it really exist…?
>>85
Isn’t the Aichi model from Chukyo University Chukyo High School?
The coaching staff is at a saint level, so even if the parents have some issues, it can be tolerated.
So, how severe was Iruka-chan’s injury?
I never even questioned that high schools with ice rinks must clearly have a model.
But it feels like I might do the same thing to my own child.
Even if it’s one-on-one, if it comes to actually living together with one of them, the situation would probably change again…
It seems like you’re quite seriously injured in the latest issue, but if it’s an injury that could affect your athletic career, won’t your future life be quite tough?
>>92
Well, if the parent-child relationship is getting better, choosing a different path is totally fine too.
Although Rika and I have different environments, our paths are similar.
>>95
It’s probably the improvement in the relationship that comes from being able to keep a distance because of skating.
If I’ve become someone who relies on my parents, I would just turn into garbage again.
When a couple is having a fight, it’s common for them to try to show off by being kinder to the child than usual, as if to indirectly target each other.
It’s tough for the children, though.
I wonder how I would react if I found out that Hikaru-chan became a legend while I wasn’t there.
Isn’t the tendency for aggressive communication being passed down a bit? Are you okay?
>>96
I’m gradually healing little by little now.
The scene with Inori-san at the pool at night was really sweet.
Rather, I am observing well enough to articulate Inori’s kindness.
The direction of malice has shifted from children to a spouse, huh…
The way you interacted with Inori-san when you first met shows that you’ve definitely inherited some bad traits from your parents.
I hope you realize one day that you are doing the same thing when you become a parent and fall into self-loathing.
It says it will be sponsored from next year, but um…
As soon as my parents graduated from high school and left home, the distance grew.
I can really understand because you’ve become extremely kind, perhaps feeling relieved from the burden of child-rearing.
It’s common for people to maintain an appropriate distance from each other.
Even a really worthless person among your family can put on a good front.
It is not that they are unable to do it, but evidence that they are choosing their opponent.
Well, I think my parents would be incredibly happy when I come back home.
See, I knew it wouldn’t work out. You can’t do anything, can you?
Right now, the number one child I worry about when it comes to retiring from skating is…
It seems like Juntaka will go for the night hawk course more than Hikaru.
I’ve had a few encounters with a boss who can’t seem to be satisfied unless they’re attacking someone, so just reading that text is tough…
The text says, “There’s something so heavy written that I can’t just look at the picture and say, ‘Your thighs are thick ♥’…”
>>107
They are a person who can only communicate by teasing.
When you keep your distance, he’s quite a fun guy.
Being close to them, their selfishness and pushiness are really tiring.
If Iku-chan wasn’t skating, she would be the type of girl who would be next to Don in Sakae…
Brr…
Since I can calmly analyze that projecting my own hatred is a motivation for skating, I need my understanding boyfriend to handle it gently; otherwise, it will be a bit tough for me…
And Gori-saki is a married person.
>>113
Well, there are already understanding coaches like Gori, his wife, and Inori’s friends in junior, so that’s not a problem.
>>118
Isn’t it about after I quit skating?
>>120
Since things are improving now, isn’t it unnecessary to talk about quitting skating…?
Creating objects to look down on in order to seek stability is what the Edo shogunate was doing.
Are there high schools that have a skating rink?
Miké-chan’s mom also saw the setting and was like, “Eloping in the Heisei era!?”
There are a lot of weird families…
My legs…
The leg scars are…
When you start doing serious expeditions, you can spend ten million a year.
It costs money to skate.
Currently, I am dedicated to skating, and my relationships with the people around me are good, so my mental state is stable.
Losing that escape at such a young age of around twenty is far too early for someone with mental health issues.
Setting things up and putting everything out in the open are two different matters.
But if you set it up, it will add depth to the character’s movements.
>>127
However, it seems that the depiction around the Okazaki family is too sparse, and it makes it so that I can only see fragments of the characters’ parents, which has diminished the weight of the monologues and such.
I think it’s also a problem to cut back too much.
I want to somehow make Iruka-chan cry for real.
Are the parents of people involved in skating all worthless?
>>129
I mean skating…
In industries related to professional aspirations, everyone is like this.
>>129
I wouldn’t go as far as to say they are trash, but there are quite a few parent-child relationships in this work that have problems.
Mika’s mother seems to be fine herself, but the situation was abnormal as she was taken back to her parents’ home and separated from her child for several years.
Perhaps they maintain balance by making the coach a person of character.
>>138
The value of bringing back only the daughter who eloped and leaving the granddaughter behind is too Showa-era…
>>156
I still quite often see things like not acknowledging that the shit bag with that man’s blood in it belongs to my family…
It’s a rich person’s hobby.
It is likely to have a higher rate of overprotective parents compared to other sports.
>>131
Well, the sports that can be done by parents who aren’t wealthy have a higher rate of being losers, since there are more poor parents involved.
>>135
Poor worthless parents tell me to work instead of playing, so I can’t even participate in sports.
It may look like this, but my admiration has reached its peak, and my emotional output is just a little strange (I don’t mean to provoke).
Ahahaha! Haha! Wow! That’s super cute! Ahahahaha! Do your best! Nfufu… Hahahahaha! I see! Your abs are showing! You can do it! You can do it! No doubt about it! The next day… Huh… Is this really all the time left until the All Japan?
Starting extracurricular activities at the age of 5 can’t be approached without the parent’s ego, for better or worse…
It’s impressive how this is glossed over with vague settings instead of being carefully written in the main story.
>>136
If you go too far, everyone will have a sad past…! So the story won’t progress!
More than whether it costs money…
It’s a problem specific to certain types of extracurricular activities, where parents are desperate to make their children participate before the children’s own will has developed.
Parents who are passionate often try to force their children to engage in activities like piano or English conversation from a young age, believing it’s for their own good.
>>139
Well, honestly, there’s no downside to being able to do both.
“I’m working hard to get my abs to show against myself! Of course, a kid who’s putting in the effort is cute and makes me want to pay attention to them…”
>>140
The pool event made me feel like I was looking at stills from a gal game.
You will go blind if it gets in your eyes.
“If the Olympic participation age had been right, we would have already won a gold medal…”
The future of Iruka-chan as inferred from Fox’s words.
Due to injuries and Hikaru’s rise, I wonder if I will end my career without a title and be forgotten as a player known only to a few…
>>145
I finally got a sponsor and was trying to become independent from my parents, but now I’m going backward…
It’s true that things like entrance exams can ultimately increase the options available for children if they can handle them.
If the Olympics were held every year, wouldn’t such tragedies not have occurred?
No, I want Iru-chan to win a gold medal in the revival competition and reunite with the older sister who came for the interview.
Children get along well, but the parents have a bad relationship! That’s really common and it’s tough.
My mind is too dirty, so when I hear “interview,” I imagine AV or IV, and I might be doomed.
If you’ve been in the competitive industry, you understand, but there are really a lot of people who had talent but ultimately quit, disappeared, or vanished from the spotlight…
It’s really sad to see Mr. Gori’s ideals crashing down with a noise.
>>153
Ice is something that breaks easily…
It’s a character that has been quite focused on, so I hope it doesn’t have a sad ending…
>>158
Please provide the Japanese text you would like me to translate.
