Ballroom e Youkoso

Description

From Kodansha:
Feckless high school student Tatara Fujita wants to be good at something – anything. Unfortunately, he’s about as average as a slouchy teen can be. The local bullies know this and make it a habit to hit him up for cash, but all that changes when the debonair Kaname Sengoku sends them packing. Sengoku’s not the neighborhood watch, though. He’s a professional ballroom dancer. And once Tatara Fujita gets pulled into the world of the ballroom, his life will never be the same.

Note: 6th and 8th Manga Taisho Award nominee.

Beautiful

by Green Back

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I don't write much about manga, but i feel like this one is good to start with.

First off, if you like stories that progress like baby steps or hajime no ippo, this is a must read. Although dancing may not seem as intense as tennis or boxing, this manga is sure to reverse that thought.

The main attraction of this work is the art. It's stunning. The characters are very expressive, the girls are beautiful, and the action (dancing) leaves an impression of movement. The sketchy art style may be a turn off for some, but it really expresses the movements and emotion of the dancing quite well. If you have a hard time imagining the dances (like me) a quick youtube search of the dance will bring the images right to life.

Another good point to this manga is the characters. A lot of them are interesting, but I really do hope to see more development from the side characters and that they aren't just stepping stones to the MC's greatness.

Sometimes I kept re-reading the pages/chapters over and over again just cuz they were so good!

I'm not one to give 10 marks easily either but I did on this one and it deserves it.

From the beginning, in every chapter, on every frame, every single moment pulled me in. I didn't skip any dialog and the pictures spoke for themselves. I was cheering Tatara all the way and here's hoping this gets scanlated soon!

Great ballroom dance manga

With the height of reality dancing competitions with B-list celebrities, most people have become oblivious to ballroom dance and years of incredible skill, talent, and hard work involved into winning these completions professionally. From waltz to cha-cha to tango, the readers get to experience learning dance from the protagonist's POV.

This manga combines the sharp shonen aesthetic of hard work, shorty underdog protagonist, and hidden talents in this dance manga. The story, artwork, and incredible zoom-in moments of clarity make this one of the top mangas to read in 2016! Thanks to translatorfag from /a/, the scanlations finally caught up to almost current JP releases. There are definitely moments of fanservice to break up the serious training montages and character development! Honestly, I'm pretty surprised that this is the mangaka's only manga so far with the skill involved in the storyline and artwork. One of the funny moments is the fact that Tatara and his current partner argue like a furious married couple when they train and perform, but their amazing technical skills that came from grueling training overwhelms their other beginner competitors in comparison despite their low compatibility?! Tatara ends up realizing his many faults in his dancing and leading in his efforts to become pro in sports dance competitions. The tension ultimately bursts out fantastically in ch40 as his training finally brings out world class talent that makes him live up to being a worthy rival to the best amateur ballroom dancers in Japan.

After reading this series, you'll definitely want to pick up a ballroom dancing class! Hopefully, this series will get licensed in English eventually by a publisher who will do the series justice like Dark Horse, Seven Seas, or even Kodansha USA (if they're willing to be risky lol).

The manga has already 6 volumes out. I have read 4 volumes of it myself and people can read in japanese, and I'm totally in love with it.

The artwork got me into it at first. I continued to read it and it's very engaging. The mangaka can express the dance movements clearly. The dance competition can be intense and the characters are all very likable. I also love the mentor relationship between Tatara and Sengoku.

I got obsessed with this one.

I decided to catch up to this one, and I read it until I came to a part that almost gave me an anxiety attack.

I went to bed, but kept on obsessing about it.

When I woke in the morning, this was the first thing that came to mind.

So good.

EDIT:

Upping rating to 10 after catching up with translations and raws. This series is amazing. I don't give out 10s willy-nilly, y'know! Go read it!

To be honest, I was pretty worried that any romance sub-plot would reduce the amount of focus on the dancing and that the whole thing would be reduced to humor/fan-service/gag manga. Thankfully, it didn't. While the girl is pretty important, the entire focus has since shifted quite a bit, and a lot more emphasis is being put on his (and the other side character's) development. (As of volume 7) Thumbs up!
