Knight of the Ice, Vol. 2

Today’s post is on Knight of the Ice, Vol. 2by Yayoi Ogawa. It is 178 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. On the cover has Kokoro in an action pose. As it is the second in the series you need to have read the first volume. The intended reader is someone who likes josei manga. There is mild foul language, discussion of sex and sexuality, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the two main characters, Chitose and Kokoro. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Cracks in the Ice
After one of Kokoro’s fans spots him together with Chitose, rumors begin spreading over what kind of relationship the two could possibly have- and that Chitose is the cause of Kokoro’s slump! To keep the rumors at bay, Kokoro’s manager, Moriyama, comes up with a plan to keep Chitose close without raising fans’ suspicions- by tossing Chitose into the public limelight as Kokoro’s new personal trainer! But as Kokoro’s career reaches a turning point, what will it mean for Chitose’s?

Review- Kokoro has come to the realization that he is in love with Chitose and he doesn’t know what to do next. Chitose is trying to manage helping him and her career and in this volume they start to collide. Her job normally does not let its workers have second jobs but because Kokoro is a rising star in Japan and in figure skating, she gets to make a feature about him and his training for her magazine. Most of the volume is getting Chitose in place to realize her feelings for Kokoro too. But drama is on the horizon with Kokoro hurting himself and confessing to Chitose. This manga is fun and I am looking forward to seeing how their relationship is going to move from here. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
