Hey so cause of you I finally picked up Medalist and it’s sooo good I’m so hyped for anything and everything. Thanks for reading this all those months ago and sharing it cause how I’m interested and I won’t shut up about it.
WHAAAAT THATS SO COOL 😭😭😭 I’m so glad you picked up medalist, I’ve got such a soft spot for it. The characters’ stories and of course Tsukasa’s continuous support of Inori through every single competition has endeared me so so much. Never shut up about medalist, more people need to talk about it!!!
god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.
MMJ lore is so funny because imagine three massive celebrities, that all retired from separate groups, deciding to come back as a team alongside some random girl. I just know that twitter exploded that day.
I'll make a gold medalist out of you! // i am once again asking you to please read medalist it's the best manga that so few people are reading right now ❄🧊
the story excels at depicting kids learning and thriving in a supportive environment, the value of hard work over talent, and pushing your limits to achieve your dreams. inori is not only competing against the other figure skaters, but against herself most of all. medalist always hits so damn hard ⛸
Since we're on my opinions here's a manga recommendation for something that's rumored to be getting an anime: Medalist!
I'm not usually one for sports manga, but I really adore this one and I think y'all will too. It follows 26 year old former ice dancer turned coach Tsukasa and his student, 11 year old Inori. Strangely wholesome for it's genre, with gorgeous art and one of my favorite mentor-mentee pairs in fiction
Look at them!!
Look at their rivals!
LOOK AT TSUKASA BEING THE BEST SUPPORTIVE COACH EVER
