After a late start because I finally got free time. Anyway, last time Kanade danced her heart out giving a performance of Diana that lacked any of the struggles she's dealt with up to this moment. Abby, Ema, Eugene and others couldn't help but notice how much she's improved and just how on point her dancing an ability to connect with the audience was with Abby and Eugene seemingly feeling quite proud of her.
Right afterwards she met Takimoto backstage but collapsed a bit seemingly exhausting herself to give that performance. Unlike her previous performance in the first round she was quite proud of this one saying that if the previous round was her best Diana then this was her "bestest" and hoping it would be enough to land her a scholarship.
Meanwhile as Shouko performed Li, in the audience, could only cry in frustration as her injury robbed her of a spot that was likely her's.
Whoops, meant to say it's pretty funny because Cuvie's definitely a westaboo. She posted on twitter like a day or two back gushing about the group WHY? of all things.
I don't know if it's true for ballerina's but gymnasts who train from a young age could stunt their growth. There are a lot of girls who don't develop well and have delayed puberty from all the dieting and stress. Though that's probably too serious for this manga and the mangaka probably just wanted cute girls.

And that finishes off this chapter and this volume. There's still magazine raws but this is the most recent tank which is what the scanlator uses so the results won't actually come for... well another few months. So see you then. By that time I'll have likely watched my own first full ballet thanks to this series.
Looking it up it's definitely a thing in ballet. I don't think Cuvie's gone in on things like delayed puberty but stuff like diet has been brought up a few times and there was one chapter where it basically all but outright said Ema was on her period so I don't think it's too heavy, just something that hasn't really had a need to come up.
Given that Cuvie did ballet when she was in school and pretty much everything else is accurate afaik I'd be surprised if it was something she wasn't aware of.
