Skate-Leading Stars

Kensei Maeshima, a first-year student at Ionodai High School, quit figure skating years ago. However, one day, a boy named Hayato Sasugai suddenly approaches him and tries to persuade him to skate again.

Maeshima decides he wants to skate again with the skate-leading club at Ionodai High School, but they aren't about to let him join the team so easily.

It's almost time for Ionodai's 3-on-3 club match, but nothing's been decided for Maeshima's team yet. What does Sasugai have up his sleeve?

Maeshima and other members from Ionodai's skate-leading club go talk to Himekawa after he withdraws from school, and Maeshima takes the skate-leading badge test in order to be eligible to compete.

With the Grand Prix Series coming up, Ionodai’s skate-leading club is hard at work at training camp. As friction between Maeshima and Kiriyama builds, Kubota challenges Maeshima for a spot on the starting team.

The schools gather for the opening ceremonies of the Grand Prix Series. Before the start of the first competition, Himuro of St. Clavis and Terauchi promise to meet again at the finals.

After doing so badly in the first competition, the Ionodai members start to lose faith in Sasugai. Maeshima and the others ask Adachi to teach them his special move, but they're turned away.

At the fourth competition of the Grand Prix Series, Maeshima and Shinozaki finally face off. Maeshima practices until just before the competition, raising his teammates' morale before their performance begins.

As Ionodai practices to perfect their new skating style, Himekawa and Kuonji contend for a spot at the Grand Prix finals.

The teams that won through to the Grand Prix finals go to the lottery to determine skating order for the finals. The day before the finals, Sasugai pays a visit to Shinozaki's practice rink…

The Grand Prix finals have finally begun. The Ishikawa brothers from Chutei University High skate with their perfect unison, followed by Himekawa and his team at Kogahara High. With each team giving their all, who will win in the end?

The desire to beat Shinozaki has brought Maeshima and Sasugai to the Grand Prix finals. Shinozaki and their other rivals watch as Ionodai High School skates their final program to try and beat the champions, St. Clavis Gakuin.
