Like a butterfly
by suu Morishita
"Suiren Shibazeki is often compared to a beautiful flower--but one that grows on the tallest peak of a mountain, forever out of reach. When Suiren develops feelings for the quiet Taichi Kawasumi, however, she doesn't want to be a distant flower. She'd rather leave her lofty perch and fly toward him like a butterfly. After Kawasumi rescues her from an unwelcome admirer, Suiren finds herself captivated by him. However, Suiren is too shy to speak to anyone, much less this reserved karate boy. What's more, Suiren isn't the only one interested in Kawasumi. Will a class trip offer the opportunity to reveal her feelings before it's too late?"

Tsukasa, a frustrated coach on the edge of giving up competitive skating himself, will join Inori to form an unstoppable duo powered by hard work, transcendent joy, and an unshakeable belief that they can prove everyone wrong"
