The artwork was not bad. I found it to be simple when it depicted Maya in her everyday life at school, but when it came down to figure skating, the author put in more detail to facial expressions and clothing, emphasizing the importance of the sport in Maya's eyes.
Maya is a very enjoyable character, acting like a middle schooler thrown into a new place. She's strong, courageous, and funny. Her interactions with Shun are also humorous, especially since he is the trademark tsundere. The dynamic between the two is balanced and hilarious.
I did like this manga while reading it, but there were some drawbacks. I was expecting a lot more development in terms of conflict. This manga could definitely be drawn out more and be a better read. I found the chapters to be extremely short (one of them being nine pages!), and I was hoping for a certain something to happen by the ending. But, I do rate this an eight because the figure skating theme was good and it was a cute and funny story.
