cw: spoilers for sugar princess!!

these are just my personal opinions on the manga (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

finished reading sugar princess!! ^^ it was a nice read. before i ramble about my opinions, i write a small summary. this will contain spoilers!

the story follows a girl named maya kurinoki. she visits a ice skating rink and shes scouted after landing a double axel jump. beforehand, she had no experience with ice skating, she has only ever watched ice skating on tv. shes paired with a older boy named shun kano. hes supposed to coach her but at the beginning he doesn't want to. soon he does coach her though. the man who runs the ice skating rink falls ill and his son takes over. the son decides to shut down the rink but a deal is made that shun and maya will join a competition thats happening around that time. they have to get into the top ranks and the rink won't be shut down. maya and shun train and practice until the completion and they get into 2nd place! the son still tries to shut down the rink but he's stopped by his father. shun and maya continue to be partners and the manga ends

^this is the final page

volume 1 was fantastic!! i feel like there was supposed to be more chapters released tbh @_@ the ending didn't really feel like an ending. the poses though, they were fantastic, hisaya nakajo is really good at drawing absolutely stunning poses in her work. the expressions were gorgeous and super cute! >⁠.⁠< its overall a quick read, with 22 chapters and 2 volumes. even though i did find the ending to be anti climactic, i still would recommend it! :D i really wish the manga could get a continuation but thats not possible sadly (go look up the author if you are curious)

thats all for now :3

When Maya Kurinoki takes her little brother to the local ice-skating rink for the first time, she's got her hands full just trying to get him to let go of the bar. To inspire a bit of bravery in him, she attempts a double axel--and lands it! Maya never imagined that this jump would change her life...or that a coach named Eishi Todo would vow to make her a figure skating "princess"! Now all Maya has to do is convince famous skater Shun Kano to become her partner. Too bad Shun doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

I never watched James Somerton. but I do remember when there was an increasing criticism ("criticism") of Animated shows like Steven Universe of She-Ra being "female-led queer shows" showing that queer women had an "easier" time getting heard of than Queer men.

And at the time I wasnt sure how much I personally could add to that discussion or how much was my place. but now that I feel I have better words to explain my feelings I can say I always thought it was bull.

Queer women do not have an "easier" time getting heard or getting their shows produced. Steven Universe got cancelled for homophobic reasons, and She-Ra had to be extremely careful with how they made Catradora Canon.

Those shows were also teared apart by "fans" who tried their hardest to make the most bad-faith arguments for these shows.

And yes, it is important to mention, ND Stevenson goes by He/Him while Rebecca Sugar is Non-binary, and that comes with their own set of discrimination, including getting misgendered. At the time, before they were out and everyone acted on the belief they were Cis, the argument was that as queer women, they had an "advantage" compared to other queer men, and also Dana Terrace (who is Cis as far as I know) also received this criticism. Most important, they would be shit takes regardless of that

and it's such bullshit, not just because of how unhelpful it is. How it tries to tear down important works and reduce them as a competition. But because of the deeply misogynistic root on it all: that these shows could only get made for "diversity points." That the only reason they got these shows made wasn't because of the blood sweat and tears of queer people working in an industry that is hostile to them. a negation and erasure of their effort.

I would like to thank the entire 2010s for constantly pushing the concept of casual queerness in cartoons, may it continue forward in this fashion forevermore, amen
