LOL WTF!
I like how these two pairings share the same story but are very different from each other.
Season 1's couple were very honest and sweet and were both initially attracted to each other, and their story is based off of the course of the relationship to the peak of their love lives;
but Season 2's couple just hated each other from the get-go and will probably struggle telling each other how they feel, so this story will be establishing their feelings before they date unlike S2.
I just love how the author tackles the dynamic of the two couples.
I feel like I accidentally belly flopped into S1, but now I am willingly diving head first into S2.
Someone, give me a link to buy this manga so I can support the author so hard! In exchange, I will talk about why I find this manga so fascinating.
*Take note that I am biased towards people being opposites or counterparts, and I think most of the time I end up wanting them to be together.
*I also recommend reading this on a large screened device to put mercy on tired eyes.
Let me begin with the obvious because this way I will be able to show the foundation of my fascination.
They are both ballroom dancers of different styles and personality but share similar names. This forces the audience to put them side-by-side. Shinya Suzuki is an outgoing man who practices Latin dance because he can make money off of it as well as have fun in the process; whereas Shinya Sugiki is a reserved man who professionally studies Standard dance because he wants to be someone who can take the place of someone who once danced beside his mother. Due to the two Shinyas both being ballroom dancers, at their core, they were both trained in similar ways.
Since this is in the manga we can all agree, but now comes in my opinion.
These two men have chemistry together. The author utilises their same passion for different types of what is essentially dance to create a connection with each other. Initiated by Sugiki, Suzuki teaches Sugiki Latin dance to participate in an international competition called 10 Dance and Sugiki does the same for Suzuki. This reciprocation of learning and teaching of dances allows these two characters engage in the other's lives, which leads more than teaching and learning each other's skills into teaching and learning each other's ways and values which steadily cause their values to blend while still being at their core, very different. It feels like these characters have parts of them that the other can easily fill in, slots exclusively for each other, rather than the forcing two absolute opposites to merge while reshaping their initial personality haphazardly.
*I'm too sleepy to know if I correctly displayed my thoughts.
TL;DR
Two guys that are opposites, I believe they have chemistry because they have been placed in a situation where they are in a way 'forced' to learn from each other the other's dances, which gave them the opportunity to willingly learn from each other not only in dance.
Go to Ebook Japan and type in Young the 3rd (in Japanese of course, look up info on manga updates), and type '10 DANCE' to google and you'll find link just use your translator. No need to talk to me about the manga though because you write the names in the wrong order :/
In germany there also is already a offical translation! I bought it and the translation reallllly sucks but I can support the author a little bit. So if you are from german or austria buy the offical release and support the author. (since it´s translated here maybe there are also already some other offical releases out there)
