10 Dance #1

The world of competitive ballroom dancing gets a stylish manga treatment in this opening volume from Inouesatoh. The cover says it all: two male dancers — one fair and curly-haired, one dark and composed — are locked in a close, charged embrace that hints at both rivalry and partnership across all ten disciplines listed on the cover, from Waltz and Tango through to Jive. Elegant linework and a refined sense of tension make this 2019 Kodansha USA release a compelling start for anyone drawn to stories where athleticism and intimacy share the same floor.
