The raw chapters are available for purchase digitally on platforms like Comic Days (Kodansha) and BookWalker Japan (region-dependent). For the true fan, buying the raw tankoubon (collected volumes) is the ultimate way to appreciate the art without screen glare.
In a medium saturated with supernatural battles and high-school romance, Medalist (メダリスト) carves out a niche that is as elegant as it is brutal. Written and illustrated by Tsurumaikada, this sports manga has rapidly become a critical darling, winning the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award and earning a fervent following.
Medalist follows Tsukasa Akeuraji, a man whose dreams of professional figure skating stardom were crushed by the harsh realities of age and timing. Just as he settles into a life of "what ifs," he meets Inori Yotsuda, a young girl with an undeniable passion for the ice but little support from the world around her.
It isn't just about winning medals; it's about child autonomy and the heavy expectations parents and society place on young athletes.
Look closely at a raw chapter depicting a botched combo jump. The artist doesn’t just draw the skater on the ice; they draw the micro-expressions —the millisecond where Inori’s ankle pronates, the coach’s shadow stretching in horror, the other competitors’ averted eyes. Because the raw has no narrative boxes to explain the feeling, the art must be the feeling. It is visceral, sometimes grotesque, and utterly beautiful.
