Medalist

Medalist is a modern sports drama anime with a fiery shounen spirit, produced by ENGI under the direction of Yasutaka Yamamoto, with series composition by Jukki Hanada. Based on the manga by Tsurumaikada, the series stars Inori Yuitsuka and Tsukasa Akeuraji, bringing together the intensity of competitive sports and the passionate energy of classic shounen storytelling in a compelling contemporary setting.

Medalist invites viewers into the dazzling and demanding world of competitive figure skating. At the heart of the story is Inori Yuitsuka, a young girl whose dream of gliding across the ice burns with an intensity that cannot be ignored. Yet breaking into such a fiercely competitive sport is no simple feat. Enter Tsukasa Akeuraji — a former skater whose own journey on the ice was marked by frustration and unfulfilled ambitions. When their paths cross, Tsukasa witnesses firsthand the raw, unwavering passion that Inori brings to the rink, and something within him stirs. What begins as an unlikely encounter gradually shapes into a powerful partnership: a girl desperate to prove herself, and a man searching for a renewed sense of purpose. Together, they set their sights on the ultimate goal — standing at the top of the podium as a true medalist.
