lilithespark's manga / #Dance(5)

This is one of the best, if not the best, manga about ballet I’ve ever read. I regret not reading this sooner because I was put off by that romance tag… The MC’s actually extremely career driven and works hard to her dreams!! Not so much romance (as of yet). Inspiring story. I love her fiery, headstrong character and her generally bright approach to problems. I find that a majority of the side characters’ backstories are very compelling. They don’t feel one dimensional at all as they all march toward their respective paths. It’s honestly kind of rare to find female characters that are written so independently. The art is so easy on the eyes that I think it does a seriously great job at expressing the beauty of ballet. It also stands its ground as an exciting sports manga. Can’t wait for more chapters!!

This manga is so freaking good… The leads are so cute together; I love their dynamic sm. The height difference? The flirting?? Gimme more pls!! The ballet aspect is really well done (the art is so *beautiful*). Almost reminds me of some sports dancing manga like ‘Welcome to the Ballroom’ and ‘Ten Dance.’ I wish hell upon the freaking p3dophile teacher guy. I hope the author addresses the grooming properly because that’s a black stain on a manga I otherwise really like. Anyway, I love the leads’ passion for dancing and the themes of youth/growth/chasing after your goal.
