It's weird that this kid is still such an idiot by the end of this volume, but I like how he's grown. He has ambition now, and the instincts that make him a natural are interesting. I'm curious to see where this goes.

What a fiery first volume! Between the sweeping, engaging lines and the weather heartfelt story, I easily found myself swept up in the first volume of Welcome to the Ballroom. I can already tell that I'm invested: I'm sure that I'll follow this series to the very end.

I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dance, whether as a hobby, as exercise, as a sport, or as a craft. I think you'll find yourself just as swept up as I was! (And if you're like me, you'll be wishing you could take a dance class again!)

Hace mucho que un manga no me atrapaba tanto. Súper recomendado.

This is the third ballroom dance themed manga I've read and it is right in the middle for quality. No points for guessing it, but I prefer 10 Dance and not just because it's gay.

It hits all the right beats for a sports manga, but what I find most interesting is the rival bait and switch, because in my opinion Hyodo is not the rival.

The art style sometimes made the motions confusing and I'm sure I got the correct impressions of certain movements but this was infrequent.

I think it's a tradition for me to start a new manga series or re-reading my favourite manga each year. I was a bit wary of starting this manga because I felt that this might have more fan-service that I've always hated and I tend to avoid sports manga nowadays for their troupe, but this one still amazes me. I love dancing and I used to watch dancing videos when I was younger, my previous experience made me appreciate more of this. The characters are quite lovable for now and I will totally continue with this series. 3.5 stars!
