It's a manga that I totally love. The plot is basically about a girl, Nonomiya Nono, wanting to win the gold medal in ski jumping in the olympics, but since girls can't participate, she's crossdressing as her dead twinbrother, Nonomiya Yuuta.
It's a really funny and good manga and it's actually after I read that that my interest in ski jumping started. I really like watching ski jumping on TV and I'd love to be able to watch it live ^^
When they were young, Nono and Yuuta (who was alive at the time) were trained by their father to ski jump. But although Yuuta had talent, he wasn't a natural at the sport. He was actually more of a picasso and painted extremely good. However, Nono was the one that was out of the ordinary. She jumped better than anyone and won all the competitions that she participated in.
Due to some personal issues, their father put a lot of press on Yuuta because he wanted him to win olympic gold. Yuuta wouldn't be able to do that, and he was well aware of it.
So because of all the personal stress and so on, Yuuta comitted suicide, while pretending to be Nono. He wanted Nono, who loved ski jumping, to let "Nono" die with him and let Yuuta live on with her. That way, their father could have his medal and she could also have her dream come true! So that's why Nono is crossdressing in the first place.
Since she's so extremely good, she caught many peoples eyes and soon became an ectremely feared opponent. She even won Amatsu (picture above) when they had a competition, and at that point she also became the first one he ever lost to. Somehow he started respecting her after that. Ofc, nobody here knows that she's a girl.
