Tomo-sensei is easily in the top 10 manga artists for the last decade.

Reminder that Chinatsu is just a stepping stone and Tatara is gonna conquer all of the girls in this pic and some of the guys too

Its crazy how long a hiatus could really hurt the excitement for a series.

Isn't the anime further ahead than the manga?

hopefully it's the blond girl on the left

Why is it him when he's recalling Chinatsu?

Haven't watched the anime because of the neck issue. Is the stuff in this chapter the same as in the anime episode?

I’d rather them facing new rivals than Tatata switching partners ever arc though.

I believe they got notes from the author so they can get to the end of the tournament at least. Well as shown by this chapter they're on the same beat of tradition vs evolution battle.

Is there any anime studio in existence that could do justice to the manga art?

no, it's like with Berserk, redrawn version of OPM etc... and soon Vinland Saga, they can't

The partner switcheroo before was just so Tatara could find his calling, switching partners now serves no purpose in the story if Tatara and Chinatsu both aim to continue dancing.

Frankly I'd sacrifice a bit more art for a more dynamic depiction of the dances. If I want static images of dancing we have the manga.

ah shit, here we go again, mandatory OPT spread right here

What did Tatars mean by this?

to be fair, the new cover makes tatara look female.

Is it the haircut?

Exactly. Tatara and Chinatsu are too complementary at this point to simply throw by the wayside. Their dynamic has been organically developed to the point where remaining partners makes considerably more sense than anything else.

lips too glossy, and something changed with the eyes. adding the haircut tatara looks like a dyke.

During the dancing panels in the manga, I always have a hard time focusing on what movement the characters are doing or having difficulty following the flow of choreography. Anyone else have this problem with the manga?

Five bucks says Hyoudou goes after Chinatsu because he can tell she has more potential than Shizuku

follow the lines

Sometimes it could confuse you, with that I recommend you to watch some dancing competition videos, it will train your mind to fill the gaps.

literally NTR

Can't ever see this happening, Hyodou thinks like a professional, he is on a place above Tatara and Chinatsu, he won't sacrifice what he already has to suddenly bet on something that needs to polished first.

Oh, Mr Tatara!

Back with a bang, this art is amazing. Thanks to the fags that translated this.

So nice to finally get another chapter after all this time.

At last, amazing chapter.

I'm too happy to finally see this back, thanks.

The art is getting more and more akin to renaiscense paintings by the year, it is becoming similar to "Innocent" and "Kokou no Hito".

Out of that pairing he'd rather NTR Chinatsu

The heart of my dick has an erection.

I'd like to think there were plans to have Shizuku be more relevant in being Tatara's partner, but that has long been thrown out. Maybe when Tatara is out of highschool things will be different? Hyoudou might be too much for her.

But the Japanese team always lose to foreigners.

It makes sense for Tatara to dance with a foreigner in the future to figure out why Japan can only reach rank 3 in the entire world.

This is manga, like many other sports series out there Japan won't be portrayed as that much behind in the given sport, not to the extent a few training arcs can't solve.

Unironically KyoAni could do it. I'd take endless amount of shitposting on this fantastic series for a proper adaptation. Ballroom would have made my AOTY if it had proper dance animation. The necks are humorous, but I didn't find them off putting to the point of making it a negative to the overall experience.

I wish we knew more about Shizuku. What's her family situation, for example? We've seen Tatara, Hyoudou, Chinatsu, Akira, Kumigiya and Mako/Gaju's family but not hers.

oh wow I thought she died. I'm glad she's back!

she came back as an undead. no more dying now.

Did she go to art school or have some background in art? Cause I feel like her style, especially here, is Something from someone who actually went to art school.

What a wonderful chapter. Glad they're back.

Attached: .png (829x571, 30K)

>Cause I feel like her style, especially here, is Something from someone who actually went to art school.
I feel quite the opposite, many people who went to art school never actually learned how make their own art, they can only absorb its history and maybe copy past some famous piece as homework, many great artists just perfected their craft by practicing by themselves and reading some DaVinci anatomy books as a clutch.

That makes her one of the people who actually have a major that didn't turn out to be completely useless.

>I feel quite the opposite, many people who went to art school never actually learned how make their own art, they can only absorb its history and maybe copy past some famous piece as homework
Things might be different from where I live then since I know many people who graduate/still studying art in university and what they learn there is different from what you said.

She looks so beautiful.

Glas she is back

Manga looks amazing, I agree with that, but the anime adaptation was pretty good overall too. Some could point the strange necks or the animation that is not all the time great but I think the manga's spirit got transcribed beautifully and with their budget, they did a really nice job.
I have a question though. I don't read the manga. In the anime, the tournament I see in this chapter is finished I think. Did they go ahead of the manga ? Or is it another tournament we didn't see in the anime?

the art has improved so much

Attached: 013 (1).jpg (1376x1024, 395K)

I reckon Tatara has to pretend to be Hyoudou again or something. That scene cuts off before it says anyone's names. I do think Tatara impressing Shizuku is going to be the "endgame" of the story one way or another though, it's always been about Tatara being seen by people and with dancing that all started out with Shizuku after all. Can't be anything permanent unless Shizuku drops all her plans to go abroad or something.

Kokou no Hito used a lot of photography in it for what it's worth
I don't think that's a bad thing at all personally, the "it's not real art unless it's all hand-drawn with nothing tech-related at all" people are delusional in my opinion, you can use whatever tools you want to create a visually appealing story, but photography is always going to look cleaner than usual

Anime went ahead of the manga, yeah. The author did instruct the anime staff what to do though so presumably the rest of this arc in the manga will be the same?

>Reminder that Chinatsu is just a stepping stone
I hope so.

Attached: 006 (1).jpg (688x1024, 176K)

I'm really happy that the manga is back and the chapter was a wonderful step right back into the thick of things. Damn I missed that art.

Something that's been on my mind this chapter is that the author continues to stress what an outstanding talent Chinatsu is. This made me wonder, how good is Tatara at this point in time? In other words, is Chinatsu the deciding factor of the overall appearance, or can Tatara also make heads turn and truly is up to her standards beyond her just being comfortable with him?

Can someone post the other color pages?

I love that Tatara is handsome in universe

Attached: img000042.jpg (236x257, 34K)

Any takers on whether we'll get to see Tatara also dabble in some latin dance?

Didn't the fanbook or something outright say that the tall dude sleeping in that pic is going to move in with Tatara or something

a good adaption would have to be live action

The characters are so likeable in this manga.
The coach, the glasses girl, Mako, the friends around... I don't understand how I can relate to them that much but that's a strong point of the manga for me. It's just like a big family. Maybe it's a little unrealistic, there is competition but no hatred or feeling of jealousy, etc, but I love it.
It looks pretty similar to Shigatsu. Less drama, more dance, that's what I like.

yeah

Attached: 104.png (1067x1600, 278K)

Wonder how long this is going to go on for. I imagine the scene at the beginning of the series has to happen before Hyoudou & Shizuku move overseas which is less than a year within the story's setting. Maybe the story will go beyond that?

Tamaki onee-san so cute and underrated.

That's the two kids partner

Oh my god it's alive. Hot damn it's been like 2 years.

best girl.

my fucking dick is so hard right now

it would be enough for her to have an accident, it's not that difficult, so you can also have them put in a relationship and put the girl with glasses as a dance partner

You're retarded. Chinatsu is already being compared to Hongou and in a short time has exponentially increased in ability.

All I got from them pairing up is that they're both great. Tatara is bringing out the best in Chinatsu and vice-versa.

>It looks pretty similar to Shigatsu.
Shigatsu looked really pretty too. Shame that is was doomed from the start, it could have been a super cute story without the forced drama.

Why does Shizuku get so much hate? Is it because she acted like a gigantic cunt to Tatara during the whole Mako arc?

Probably. I don't get the hate either, we knew what was going on through her head and she has been great ever since that conclusion.

It sounds like people trying to stir shit up for no reason honestly. Whether you like the character or not there's no particular reason to outright hate her, she's barely done anything yet.

What are your hopes for the series moving onward?
I'm really curious as to how Chinatsu and Tatara's relationship is going to pan out after this tournament since we know that he ends up dancing with Shizuku at a later point.

Attached: 1531193877803.jpg (803x1200, 683K)

That image from the first chapter is his mom dumbass.

But all the cast is like that. The only exception is the creepy looking dance couple where the girl refused to partner up with anyone else while the guy was hospitalized.

Chii-chan has only danced with girls and Tatara only

>But all the cast
Mako only did Tatara in addition to her bro. Chinatsu only did Tatara. Shitzuku did the whole male cast.

Shizuku has only danced with her own partner, Gaju and Tatara. That isn't the "whole male cast". The hate for her is pathetic, and it's easy to see why a few people hate now. Retarded shippers and waifufags mad that she's the endgame instead of Chinatsu.

Attached: 7.jpg (1200x897, 241K)

That or maybe Chinatsu didn't exist yet and Shizuku was Tatara's introduction to dance?

I don't think there'll be any romantic development if that's what you're talking about, it's never been a major focus in this story. Even though shippers overrun the threads for this series, I'm pretty sure they're all going to be disappointed in that respect.

One year and a half, it didn't reach a full 2 years hiatus.

>end game

End game is Tatara's mom (who Chii-chan will have to defeat before she's considered worthy to be Tatara's bride)

Not necessarily about romance, but more about how they might have branch out to having different dance partners in order to keep growing. We probably won't see an actual romance arc for a while, but I guess with something like dance it'll always be kind of implied though.

I don't hate Shizuku, I hate the people who push her as endgame with absolutely no clutch to rely on but that the nondescript flashfoward sequence from the first chapter.

See retards like this , not only there's no actual confirmation this woman is Shizuku, it can only be assumed it's her due the uncanny similarity, but it seems the people who cling to this flashfoward sequence has never actually read more than one manga with a early flashfoward sequence in their lives before, to notice many early flashfoward sequences were altered in ongoing series when said event was reached in the narrative, sports manga like Overdrive changed the future bicycle event, early flashfoward Naruto scenes were changed, and so on.

They really cant.
It will be the same as IG which is Hand & Foot shots only (they might tone down the neck game though, but that's it)

BeY needs a fucking movie budget per episode to do its hand drawn dance justice.
Not even mega hit idol franchise (like Love Live) using hand drawn for its dance scenes.

I think the idea that Shizuku is endgame is pretty innocent really. She just kinda looks like her, and there's no real evidence pointing towards that not being her either, but I won't deny that it's a good possibility. It'd just be nice to see that the first person Tatara really danced with is also the same person he dances when he's at one of his peak moments.

Reminder, They're all still in Middle School.
Fucking hell. As old as ChiMaMe.

Attached: [HorribleSubs] Asobi Asobase - 03 [480p][01-46-26].jpg (848x480, 44K)

They started high school after Mako's arc. Chinatsu and Tatara meet on the first day of class.

>BeY needs a fucking movie budget per episode to do its hand drawn dance justice.
I don't know man. Say what you want about their hit or miss series, but they make some pretty shows almost always no matter if they're TV or movie budget. They would have a good chance to give it justice. Other guys I could see them giving it justice are the people behind Mob Psycho. Bones usually has some good people working under them, but the director did a pretty good job with it and Death Parade.

If certain shippers didn't ignore all the recent development every chapter in order to hammer the same point of "Shizuku is the endgame solely because of a flashforward at the very beginning of the manga", I'm assuming the "hate" for her would be a lot less rampant. On the other hand, she's one of the only characters that hasn't been remotely developed, so even though I don't dislike her, she's probably my least favorite supporting character.

The two kids get dancing partners that are also siblings?

Shizuku is a nice character and all, but the story has spent the last dozens of chapters showing that Tatara and Chinatsu are a couple that has good chemistry that they are developing. Not only that but Shizuku doesn't care to dance with him at all outside of a handful of practice sessions, she has her own goals and ideal partner in mind.

Chinatsu just makes sense at this stage in the story regardless of a chapter 1 flashforward sequenc, she even has a higher heroine level than Shizuku and honestly I find the fiery mare to be more compelling than the more demure Shizuku.

Attached: Level 5 Heroine.png (1440x749, 1.15M)

Also, don't Tatara and Chinatsu win this competition in the anime? If that's the case here (which is very likely, since the mangaka advised the staff on the likely ending of this arc), then Chinatsu is here to stay as Tatara's partner.

>Chinatsu is here to stay as Tatara's partner
Yes?

I mean Shizuku for Tatara is like Sakura for Naruto.

Well-said; at some point, stories can evolve into something more and different than what might have been initially intended and those intentions should be ignored in favor of where the story is naturally heading. That certainly seems to be the case here.

I hope Latin will edge in its way into the story as well. Would be cool to see Tatara get more expressive for that which in turn may help him develop as a person. And I want to see Chinatsu in hot dresses for Latin dance. Also, I'd like to see his dad or his grandma finally get aware of his hobby. I always got the impression that he still keeps his dancing a secret from his family, even though he's almost balls deep into the sport, to the point where he may go for a professional career.

lol, That is a very apt comparison.

Yup. All these middle schoolers.

Attached: She's not in High School yet.jpg (728x695, 131K)

Are you daft? They entered High-School in the previous arc.

OK? They're outliers and probably 16 already doing demanding physical activity. They're now in highschool as well.

user, were you ever in school? Shizuku is not as rare as you would think.

They have each other.

Yep, no way they're gonna repeat this whole arc again with Tatara getting used to a new girl and re-learning standard. Didn't they also say that Tatara's physique is more suited for Latin?

Can someone identify these characters and who are the new ones? Especially the right

Something I find so compelling about Chinatsu, is that she's quite aware of her character deficits and the lengths Tatara goes for her sake. She can't quite help acting the way she does and agonizes about it, yet tries her hardest to work with Tatara and get over it. Her characterization in the manga, the fiery mare imagery alongside her squabbling with her childhood friend is fascinating and you can't help but root for both Tatara and Chinatsu to form the pair they envision and strive for. It also helps, that the mangaka chose to keep heavy romantic drama out of the series. I wonder if she was surprised at how well Chinatsu worked out.

Yeah, honestly, I liked that manga more than Heat.

Attached: They're talking about dancing, I promise.png (1027x851, 527K)

I really liked this manga, though it had two drawbacks for me. Afro-sempai's character design was a bit on the outlandish side and I wish he the author had toned down his looks a bit. That issue though I could look past for the most part. What really got on my nerves after a while though were was the middle pair, that couldn't fucking stop fighting over every little shit. I realize that the author was going for "they're rivals", but they kept acting incredibly petty and antagonistic towards each other and always fell back into old patterns, that it simply grew tiresome for me. During their latin dance in the final arc, I started rooting for the competing pair, the one with the abrasive guy and the bobcut girl, as they were much more enjoyable to follow.

Imagine the ship war if Ballroom is a routine weekly series

And they've already been compared to the next coming of Sengoku x Hongou pair (who are in the story the top Japanese team and 3-4th best in the world).

except Hyoudou is more interested in Tatara. his only fascination is finding a worthy rival to help push himself further.

But he's right though. Hyoudou rated Chinatsu potential above Shizuku. Implicitly .

Damn.

>"he was right"

Except, that wasn't the point he was making in the first place

I wish my mind was pure like Tatara.

Wait do people really think the girl in the first chapter isn't Shizuku? How fucking stupid do you have to be to think this? Regardless of whether that actually happens or not, that is clearly Shizuku. We've literally seen her with the same exact hairstyle and dress already.

>I hate the people who push her as endgame with absolutely no clutch to rely on but that the nondescript flashfoward sequence from the first chapter
So basically what you do with Chinatsu? You don't know the mangaka's intent or future plans yet swear every single thread that she's going to be Tatara's permanent partner and that Shizuku, you know the girl that started Tatara's journey, is just going to be shoved aside.

And the 'amazing japanese dancer' shown in that same image looks like derpy can't even dance 1st arc tatara too. So you implying Tatara will actually regress from the cool Sengoku like persona he's already developed?

Attached: 1503432320988.png (1506x1079, 1.45M)

Tatara didn't start her journey with her. She was the instigator. Mako helped push start him. His REAL JOURNEY AS A LEAD AND PROFESSIONAL DANCER begins with Chiinatsu.

Shizuku was shoved aside ages ago. She hasn't been relevant at all recently. The anime already suggested that Chinatsu will be Tatara's permanent partner and I expect the same will happen in the manga. Their dynamic has been built up far too much for it to be cast aside just so Tatara can go through the same go through the same arc with another girl yet again. I do think Shizuku will be relevant towards the end of the manga, but ultimately, Chinatsu will primary heroine going forward.

He's on an international stage in that scenario to be fair
I still think that he has to pretend to be Hyoudou again for some reason in that scenario

>I still think that he has to pretend to be Hyoudou again for some reason in that scenario

You're an idiot.

Also, placing more emphasis and importance on the girl that Tatara has mutually grown with rather than the girl that would only serve to be an end-of-the-manga prize is just better writing.

He did exactly that earlier in the series, and that intro scene cuts off before it states the names of who's dancing so why isn't it possible? that and Hyoudou's already well-known, it's more believable that he'd legitimately make it to a place like that over a newcomer like Tatara

>Shizuku, you know the girl that started Tatara's journey
I think the comparisons for people like you being the Sakurafags of Ballroom are starting to sound more accurate. Shizuku only introduced Tatara to the world of dancing, she was basically his initial mentor before Sengoku stepped in and became his real inspiration, Shizuku had no deeper conection with Tatara since she was always his temporary pair, her battleground was somewhre else above with Hyodou.

>he has to pretend to be Hyoudou again for some reason
That's the only way I could believe it happening, but Hyodou getting injured again would be dumb. Still hoping that the author's plan has changed personally, I know there's a required suspension of disbelief required and all but Tarara making it to some sort of prestigious world competition already so early on (he or Shizuku do not look older so we can assume that it isn't a timeskip) feels ridiculous.

You're a fucking idiot.

How many of these characters are new, I can't remember shit? The cute chick at Sengoku's dance studio is there so I guess we'll be seeing her actually dance sometime in the future

What if they are together because both Hyoudou and Chinatsu are injured?

That's a sensible explanation, but shipperfags are gonna ship, nothing else matters

What does shipperfaggotry have to do with anything? I just don't think Tatara should be there at a big competition like that so early on to begin with unless something retarded is going on

>What does shipperfaggotry have to do with anything?
Most of this conversation is just people seething at the fact that Tatara's going to dump Chinatsu eventually, they know it but don't want to admit it

>ignores the past 6-7 volumes of development in the manga to justify putting a single 2 page dream sequence out of context
>ignoring the fact that the hiyama x fujita pair are the next hongou x sengoku pair

>calling other people shipperfags

You're a fucking idiot.

>I just don't think Tatara should be there at a big competition like that so early on to begin with
I think you missed the fact the flashfoward sequence doesn't actually say when it is taking place, it is in future, but when it is not stated, despite their looks that could be them in their college years. That's the problem with flashfoward sequences in any manga, the author is not sure of how the designs are going to actually develop as the series goes.

And when Chinatsu remains his partner after this arc, how confident of your "facts" will you still be?

>they know it but don't want to admit it
Based on what? Again with the nondescript flashfoward sequence on the very first chapter whose designs don't even match the characters as they look now anymore? Go read more manga with flashfoward sequences before playing the retard card.

>truck-kun running over not just hyoudo
>but hitting reverse and getting chinatsu who was frozen in horror just a few feet away
>"sensible explanation"

You're a fucking idiot.

How is "both Hyodou and Chinatsu can't take part" a less retarded explanation than "Hyodou can't take part"?

Partner: Shizuku.
Wife: Chinatsu.

There, solved.

What the fuck is with you and trucks? Injuries happen all the time in sports, Hyodou and Chinatsu could have busted their feet almost simultaneously in some prior competition or rehearsal, completely credible and has happened in the world of dancing.

You're a fucking idiot. The entire series is just a dream sequence in Tatara's last moments of life after he got truck-kun'd.

These people are just desperately grasping at straws. The author herself says Chii-chan is the heroine. She wouldn't have devoted 2/3 of the manga to developing her character if that wasn't her plan and intention. Shizuku is just not interesting and having her become a "prize" at the end would just be bad writing.

Lmao if shipping faggotry wasn't at the core people would never talk about it so much.

>and having her become a "prize" at the end
No one's talking about romance user

You have no argument, go watch some dancing competitions.

Basically everyone except the person who started the conversation is talking about romance funnily enough

Why broken foot? Why not heart attacks? People suffer from arythmia all the time? Why not a terrorist attack? Why not Godzilla attack? You are a fucking idiot if you think the author would resort to some "A Wizard did it" ass pull like them both getting injured at the same time just to cater to your dumb ship faggery. This manga is interesting not because of eye candy like Shizuku but development of good well written characters like Chinatsu. The author wouldn't be so stupid as to throw the progress she has so meticulously crafted (even at the expense of her health) to cater to idiots like you.

Attached: 1509035177231.png (540x540, 382K)

I'm starting to think people who don't actually watch sports shouldn't be discussing this series. Competions happens across trimesters and sometimes in quarters, the likelyhood of someone being injured in mere weeks or a month apart could change their entire schedule for entering a competition, effectively resulting in several pairs being compromised from participating.

Is anyone else hoping the manga diverges from the anime somehow? How the arc ended in the anime was nice but it'd be dull if it just followed it 1:1
if it is going to be the same I hope we get through it quickly and get onto the new stuff soon

Attached: D6ccKyGU0AEjmLr.jpg (768x1020, 204K)

The whole dance partners = romance thing is stupid anyway. Edogawa and Kumigiya have nothing going on, Mako and Gaju are siblings, Akira is a lesbian partnered with a married man, Hyoudou yawns when Shizuku is stripped in front of him. The only dance partners who are maybe fucking are Sengoku and Chizuru, and even that's just a rumor.

see
You are an idiot.

...

In its imagery, sure, but I do hope the arc has the same conclusion writing-wise (their victory).

Funnily enough the most common complaint about the anime while it was airing (besides the necks and lack of animation) was that all the characters are assholes

>no hatred or feeling of jealousy, etc,
Mako, her brother, Shizuku, Chinatsu, Tatara. They have all had moments of jealousy.

Where did these Shizuku supporters came from anyway? I don't recall these pairing discussions being that heated 2 years ago, since the manga had pretty much been focusing on Chinatsu and Tatara's development as dancers for years by then.

Attached: 1380857551932.gif (170x170, 114K)

I can see why someone would say that based on the first arc. The whole “Hyoudou gets injured and everyone lies to Shizuku about it, then acts like she’s being a drama queen when she gets pissed” thing was dumb, Sengoku acted like a shitty coach and Gaju was an asshole to Mako. Everyone was a lot more chill in the second half.

slutzukushitters have nothing else to talk about so they keep on spamming the first few pages of the first chapter of the manga over and over and over again.

Her art reminds me of a more refined and detailed Clone Ningen doujinshi.

>eren got btfo so hard he transferred to a different manga

>This is coming from someone who rarely gives shoujo or josei the time of day, btw.
This manga is shounen.

I was looking for those last week too and couldn't find it, file sharing of official manga releases are often not up to date on certain series, those groups are always already too taxed with comic book releases, official licensed manga sharing doesn't seem to be as spread out as comic releases yet.

I think there was something that needed to be fixed in vol 8 and danke was putting off ripping it until it's fixed, but it was really, really long ago.

it's a shame. this series deserves their attention

The problem with official licensed manga sharing is that there aren't many dedicated hosting websites compiling them and sharing as much as comic book releases have, manga sharing is dominated by fan scanlation since that's people have been sharing manga overseas for 20+ years, digital manga sales are quite recent in comparison and there is some divide between people wanting to stick with fan scans instead of sharing official licensed releases, either by principle or because they just don't like the licensed product.

Man look at those titties

I understand prefer Chinatsu but why the Shizuku hate?

not many hate shizuku, just hate the retards who keep insisting the first two page dream sequence is manifest destiny or some shit

>but why the Shizuku hate
See , nobody hates the actual character.

Oh I see.

Agreed with most of what you said but
>not only there's no actual confirmation this woman is Shizuku
there's no reason to think that it isn't considering she looks exactly like how Shizuku looks when dancing in competition, people saying dumb shit like this was part of the reason these dumb conversations happen at all

as already pointed out the male dancer in that image looks like a total sperg. if you insist the dancer is shizuka then you would have to concede that tatara regresses to a loser sperg.

I actually don't get all the Chinatsu love. She's a massive cunt.

The male dancer in that image looks like Tatara does when he spergs out when dancing, yes.

> then you would have to concede that tatara regresses to a loser sperg.
He still does that even now but more importantly we don't even know the context of that scene? You're saying that the scene involving two near identical looking characters to the MC and a major character in the story is what people should be assuming here instead?

Is it this some sort of false-flag bait to get these dumb conversations going in the first place or something, if the point was (rightfully) just "retards are dumb for treating that scene as the end all of everything", then why add this at all even

Like I said if you concede one you concede the other. Go ahead and ignore all the development of the past 2/3 of the manga to satisfy your dumb ship faggotry. The author disagrees with you. Good writing disagrees with you. Deal with.

So how will you react if it does turn out to be Shizuku and Tatara?

>looks like a total sperg
Over-exagerrating a bit user, he just looks nervous which is how he often looks at the start of every dance. If he really is with a different partner than usual (be it Shizuka, a clone, or whatever else it you people think it is) then that'd further justify this if anything I reckon.

So it is just bait to get this dumbass conversation going like I thought it was then.

it isn't bait. it was falling for bait. re-read the thread and see who started talking about shitzuka again

Haven't you noticed how whenever someone states that they're not talking about shipper wars everyone else turns it back into exactly that? Literally just ignore those retards

>your dumb ship faggotry
I ship Shizuku with Hyoudou cause I'm a sucker for the childhood friends to lovers trope, but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually is Tatara and Shizuku in this panel . I don't see anything shippy about said panel anyways. You try to argue with 'Shizuku has been pushed to the side", but she could come back into the spotlight at any time. That argument would only work if the manga was heading towards the end.

You just made it a bit worse.

I take it you're not a fan of her personality partially rubbing off on Tatara then?

Either you got bullied by a girl at school or you have a low bar on what constitutes a "cunt", Chinatsu is nothing head strong girl currently that has recognized all her past mistakes and flaws.

I don't really care for Tatara to be honest. I know he's the MC and all, but his character just doesn't pull me. I'm not interested in either him or Chinatsu.

Ok, she's still a cunt to me. Die mad about it.

Why woud I die mad about your opinion? You are simply wrong, that's all. If you want to nurture a wrong opinion that's on you.

>I'm not interested in either him or Chinatsu.
I know there are a lot of series where the MC is the least interesting one, and ones that spend a lot of time on their 'side' characters - however BnY spends a metric fuckton of time on Tatara (and Chinatsu), is it just the dancing that you're reading this for or something? Some of the side characters in this series are cool but they haven't had much focus yet to be able to read this series for them I feel

Ok, die mad about it.

6 volumes of development in the manga say otherwise.

>however BnY spends a metric fuckton of time on Tatara (and Chinatsu), is it just the dancing that you're reading this for or something?
I'm aware, but I like the overall story. From our other cast members to the art. While I'm not really interested in either of them, the panel time they take up doesn't bother me since since they're main characters. Who bitches about the MC getting the most panel-time?

fuck off shipperfag

It should be clear that Chinatsu and Hyoudou will become a pair.

>Who bitches about the MC getting the most panel-time?
My point was that it's this + the other characters not really getting much panel-time, there are loads of series that balance focus between large casts and so on, this isn't one of those series so far.

In any case I hope the MC grows on you at some point eventually man, maybe it's just me but it sounds annoying to like the overall series but not care for a character the series focuses on 90% of the time.

>It should be clear that Chinatsu and Hyoudou will become a pair.
I wanna see him dance more with Shizuku, but I could see this happening. Every character getting a chance to dance with each other and experience how well they work/don't work with each other.

tell the manga-ka to fuck off then loser. the manga isn't going to suddenly contort itself via bad writing to meet your dumb tastes

Partners in dancing doesn't equal romantic interest, you stupid fuck.

>but it sounds annoying to like the overall series but not care for a character the series focuses on 90% of the time.
It's not. I don't hate Tatara, he just simply doesn't pull me. It's not like I groan in annoyance whenever the kid gets panel-time. This isn't the first series I've followed where I don't love the MC. I don't think loving the MC is necessary in loving a series.

No one's arguing that dumbfuck. But to suggest Chiinatsu will stop being the heroine because of two fucking pages from the start of the manga is beyond idiotic.

It's literally just one guy. Probably even an anime only.

Shizuku, who is a heroine, getting more spotlight doesn't mean the heroine title will be taken away from Chinatsu. It doesn't work that way. They're both heroines last time I checked.

If by heroine you mean a Sakura who stays on the sideline and gives head-commentary then sure, "heroine". That's what you got this chapter.

That user is a deluded redditor. He should know that Chinatsu is called "Greatest Rival and Cutest Heroine". She is the only character 5 stars as both a rival and a heroine.
It is precisely because she is Tatara's rival that there is a possibility of them breaking up and if that happens, she will not stop being the heroine. Chinatsu is the FMC, this is quite clear at this point

Shizuku is not a heroine. Chinatsu is the only heroine in this story. Go check their profiles.

Keep thinking Shizuku won't be getting anymore major focus. Both girls are heroines going by the rankings of the mangaka herself.

>No one's arguing that dumbfuck.
It's this guy's entire point

Shizuku is a side character. She hasn't been relevant since the first arc. Get a grip on reality.

Couldn't you be less obvious when you samefag at least

I didn't mind the 2nd year couple but I feel like the series got a deadline for completion right after the Standard competition ended and so whatever story they could have had for the latin portion got shelved and shoved into the epilogue. But I did like that their relationship was based on conflict between two stubborn people. Compared to the 1st years who dance for fun and ditched their drama early on, and the 3rd years who had to resolve their future plans.

zippyshare is down for me now. Anyone have a mirror?

I love Idogawa!

I feel like Chinatsu will be Tatara's dance partner but not romantic partner. Seems like most dancers aren't dating their partner.

I hope Tatara gets to experiment with different partners and romantic interests.

Nah, she'll be both. I think the pairing will stay that way since everything has been set in stone given the huge amount of development Tatara and Chinatsu went.

files.catbox.moe/5b30ma.zip

She's being compared to Hongou and Hongou is definitely not dating Sengoku. Tatara also isn't her type. There's not much hinting at a romantic or lustful aspect to their relationship; it's been about dancing and gaining confidence to become better dancers. Plus, Tatara is still new to dance so he's got a lot more room to grow and have new experiences.

Not expecting any romantic resolution at all honestly.

I honestly feel like she can be both because the way their relationship has been developed, it's hard to imagine Chinatsu trusting another man this much. The others don't have these issues. Although Hyodou and Shizuku are great partners, their bond seem more professional for example.

Biggest flag whenever a manga character says this

>Tatara is still new to dance so he's got a lot more room to grow and have new experiences.
Where else is he gonna find another partner? He's a below average male and the Chinatsu while experienced is also shit at being the female. Going through all this shit again with another girl is stupid especially when the author can die from a gust of wind. Let them move on to Latin. Much more fun.

There's not much romance in this series period, as stated earlier the more devoid of romance a story is the more autistic and obsessed shippers get for some reason though.

The fact that there are still people equating dancing partners with being in a romantic relationship is frustrating honestly.

>Going through all this shit again with another girl is stupid
We dunno where the story is going from here and he wouldn't go through the exact same shit again assuming he's grown as a person to be fair. I personally don't think he'll be changing partners either (and I certainly don't want that to happen, Tatara and Chinatsu's relationship is the most interesting thing in the series in my opinion) but it'd be dumb to completely rule it out I reckon. Something peculiar is that Chinatsu's pretty much getting all the praise from other characters at the moment while no one is mentioning Tatara (by comparison both Kugimiya and Idogawa get praised individually and as a pair), that may or may not go somewhere.

>Tatara also isn't her type
Also the same person that now wants to "be dominated and being lead on" during the dance with Tatara. Still I'm in the camp of romance not being a target in this series,I see bonds as commited dancers in their craft, Tatara and Chinatsu have advanced both together, the only feasible way for them to part is for drama to ensue.

The reporters didn’t even known Idogawa’s name, Kumigiya overshadows her. By contrast Chizuru receives equal spotlight with Sengoku. Chinastu and Tatara will be the Chizuru and Sengoku’s successors, as a pair of equals rather than “dominant male, overshadowed female.”

Nice

Looks more fluid in motion I think.

How bad is the anime adaption of this? enough to ruin a person interest if they watch it first?
