I'm amazed there is only one review for this series!
It's march break, and i have been going through series like mad, and stumbled on this. And wow, am i ever glad i did! This series made me cry, throw things at the wall and smile, and i enjoyed every minute of it. This is a series with so many messages, i think it should be a must read on everyone's list.
Story-9/10. The story is amazing, flows well and draws you in. You get hooked on what will happen next, and it's never what you expect. The only reason it's not a 10/10 is because the

A little girl can only communicate to her dying brother through dance.
Surprisingly powerful and enjoyable: this is Dance! Subaru. I don’t know why, but I had this preconceived idea about Dance! Subaru. Maybe it was the fact it was a sports seinen, or that it’s cover art appeared to be very old, or even because it was about a girly sport called ‘ballet’. So imagine my surprise after I finished the first chapter: I did not expect it to be like this. It wasn’t just about ballet. It was about artistic expression with the body as a medium. Chapter after chapter, I soon found that I ...

Let me just start this review right off the bat with the fact that in the first 10 minutes of me reading this manga I was literally in tears sobbing. Now idk if that's cause i'm just an emotional wreck but I think thats still amazing regardless. And I'm seriously not exaggerating when I say I was sobbing.
I only got into this after seeing it under suggestions after finishing Glass Mask, and there are definitely similarities. But this manga, unlike Glass Mask, is intense and in a sense really morbid. I would definitely recommend this only for the mature readers. If you're ...

Despite the expressive art and moments, especially from Subaru, being a little bit too much some times (a personal taste I guess), I adore this manga. Nice character development, many moments to interpret and have long, deep thoughts about ballet and also ART itself, which I have rarely seen from any contemporary, entertaining work. It doesn't mean the casual readers have to be alienated by this because I believe every single character in here is relatable: dream, envy, career, competition... even Subaru herself, being set with a very special condition for her origin, but still executed well enough for us to wonder every time: where

I read this after finishing another ballet manga and it was a good story to pass the time. It of course has its problems like some of Subaru's choices can be repetitive at times but I always wanted to know what she'd do afterwards. The art is nice, it's always a joy to see her dance so passionately, watching her improve her weaknesses are enjoyable.
Rivalries are great as they feature someone with a different attitude towards ballet than the main character Subaru. As many other reviews said the ending and the short last arc is pretty weird and bad but the story continues in ... |
