Yaoi fans, dip into your new obsession! The beautifully-detailed, lithe bodies of the two "kings of the ballroom" fly across the dance floor as rivals build a volatile bond in this red-hot romance! Shinya Sugiki, the dashing lord of Standard Ballroom, and Shinya Suzuki, passionate king of Latin Dance: The two share more than just a first name and a love of the sport. They each want to become champion of the 10-Dance Competition, which means they'll need to learn the other's specialty dances, and who better to learn from than the best? But old rivalries die hard, and things get complicated even further when they realize there might be more bet more
The pleasure in reading 10 Dance is that this is definitely manga for grown-ups. Theres a ve-ery slow burn going on in the nascent relationship between Suzuki and Sugiki and even though Inouesatohs love for dance shines through on every page, the interest doesnt lie in whether the protagonists are winning their way to the top from contest to contest but in the way they value their art. In so many other Boys Love manga, they would have fallen into bed together by now…but the mangaka's interests lie in portraying a relationship that grows from both men's burning need to dance, where the holds and steps act as a metaphor for feelings yet to be articulated or acknowledged. I can't wait to see where Inouesatoh will take Suzuki and Sugiki next. Read Full Review
An enjoyable follow-up to one of the best debut volumes of the year. Read Full Review
