Skating Through Shadows _ Sk8 The Infinity

Ren Takahashi has always skated alone. A prodigy with a genius mind and an unmatched ability to incorporate gymnastic moves into his skating, Ren is determined to be the fastest-no distractions, no connections. But when he moves to a new town, his solitary world is turned upside down by Reki Kyan, a passionate skater who's impossible to ignore.

At first, Ren brushes off Reki's friendly persistence, preferring to keep his distance. But as Reki introduces him to the world of S races and the bonds formed through skating, Ren begins to open up in ways he never expected. With each race, each moment spent together, Ren finds himself drawn to Reki's infectious energy and warmth. But even as the lines between friendship and something more blur, Ren struggles to let go of his self-imposed isolation.

In a world of high-speed races and adrenaline, Ren must learn that sometimes the greatest challenge isn't skating against the clock-it's learning to trust, to connect, and to open your heart to someone else.
