Read the full take

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. The premise is a dance drama about two dancers who meet in a world of rival styles and discover their connection.The strength is the dancing. The competition scenes are vivid and kinetic, and each style has a distinct feel. The rivalry between the two leads is sincere, and their developing respect is engaging.The weaknesses are about familiarity. The sports-rivalry formula is well worn, and the romance develops at a steady rather than surprising pace. Readers wanting originality may find it standard.Recommended for fans of dance dramas and sports rivalries. Expect a lively, energetic read with plenty of movement.
