Young figure‑skating prodigy Kensei Maeshima abruptly abandons the sport after his one‑sided rival, Reo Shinozaki, refuses to recognize his talent. Now a student at Inodai High School, Kensei channels his athletic prowess to support the other sports teams, yet he never formally joins any of them. One day, Reo declares a shift from singles figure skating to team‑based skate‑leading and enrolls at St. Clavis Gakuin High School—last year"s Grand Prix champions. Hayato Sasugai, a classmate with an enigmatic link to Reo, persuades Kensei to transition into skate‑leading so he can finally defeat his rival in competition.
Kensei"s sudden arrival at the Inodai Skate‑Leading Club draws sharp criticism from its current members. Despite being a formidable singles skater, he lacks the cooperative skills essential for effective team performances. His quick temper, impatience, and uneven skating results, combined with a tangled past involving several teammates, lead the group to doubt his suitability as their "Lead." The squad must collaborate closely to address these tensions if they hope to secure a spot in the Grand Prix Finals and even stand any chance of overcoming St. Clavis Gakuin, and earn national recognition for their teamwork in the season.
