i dont get it i had a lot of fun. i dont think it was dry or unemotional at all. i fact it was pretty emotional tbh. i loved the arcs each character went through, especially mika, who learned to love again! my favorite couple has to be yui and takaoka omfgg i eat up that toxic yuri... and the end might be a little non romantic to some but to me its pretty interesting that it lands in a sort of middle of the road thing, and i can totally see them getting together at some point.

im so happyyy but at the same time ughh i know japanese media and they will probably cast a full japanese man to play suzuki, instead of a latin-japanese man. which is such a bummer since it is a key part of his character (also if they cast a full japanese man, me as a latino i will be pretty sad, i got so happy that my culture gets to be a part of this beautiful story) i'm curious on how much the adaptation will follow the manga, since there are international dancers that are pretty important characters too.... well.... idk, i will still love this manga, no matter how the adaptation turns out!

i saw ppl complaining about the drama in the comments and like.... idk i love it so much if it wasnt for how well build the family plot is i probably wouldn't like this manga as much as this. it makes the characters complex and lived in. a lot of romance manga (especially yaoi manga) has super surface-level characters that dont feel like they have any substance besides the romance... like they only exist for the romance (which i know is the point of a romance story but it makes the characters super boring if you can't relate to them as humans and not just plot devices) yeah this author did a really good job at making the world and characters feel lived in lol
