Kiss and Never Cry

Apr 9, 2020

Gouda Takeshi from Kimi wa Petto makes a comeback (albeit as a side character). But putting my obvious excitement aside, so far this is one of the best mystery based sports anime I have read (I have read no manga with both but plenty of manga from either genre).

The story of the manga appears to be a simple sports based storyline centre's around ice skating, but under the covers the story becomes a rather intense character study into a victim of violence and how she deal with her environment and finally heads down the path of overcoming it. All the supporting characters also bring their own very strong narratives into the fold. The manga is not fully translated yet, but my oh my am I itching to read further and see how the mystery unravels. 

The art style here is a more detailed version of Kimi wa Petto and the dance choreography segments are definitely a feast for the eyes \{$^$}/. The drawings are so dynamic that I almost believed that I had seen this as an anime (when I last read it some 5 years ago), not a manga.

Definitely a must read if you enjoyed Kimi wa Petto and are looking for a darker more intense storyline! But someone please give me the remaining scans or an official translation!
