If this were an ordinary "learn the arts" or battle-type shonen manga, what happened in this volume could well have taken three times as long。 I like how "Coffee" distills things like tryouts into a few pages, so they can more closely emphasize moments that have the most impact on Kaboku。Wanda still looks like a weird doll, and I didn't like the brief scene where one of the b-boys puts his hand on her without her consent。 But I like the delicate relationship between her and Kaboku。 Both of them If this were an ordinary "learn the arts" or battle-type shonen manga, what happened in this volume could well have taken three times as long。 I like how "Coffee" distills things like tryouts into a few pages, so they can more closely emphasize moments that have the most impact on Kaboku。Wanda still looks like a weird doll, and I didn't like the brief scene where one of the b-boys puts his hand on her without her consent。 But I like the delicate relationship between her and Kaboku。 Both of them fumble at dancing, in different contexts, so neither of them is a perfect prodigy at everything they try in every situation。 At one point, Kaboku wonders if he wants to be a dancing jack-of-all-trades as people warm to him and invite him into their circles, or whether he might be spreading himself too thin。 I'll be interested in seeing what style of dancing suits him best, and what might happen if that ends up being different from Wanda's。Another thing I appreciate is how Kaboku's stammer is presented。 There are two occasions in the book where it causes a problem: first, he has trouble dealing with the Japanese version of the DMV as he stalls out on giving the answers to a simple colorblindness test; and later he can't speak at all when one of the judges at the inter-high dance competition approaches him in casual conversation。 But his peers are always very understanding with him--unsurprisingly, he has few issues communicating when he is with people he feels comfortable with。 (The "information card" he has on his phone to inform people about his disability might have been more convenient for him if it was a physical card in his wallet or money clip, but what do I know。。。)As with every volume thus far, I listened to all of the songs mentioned in the story, creating a kind of multimedia experience。 These teens dance to some stuff that I wouldn't consider appropriate for a high school setting, sometimes。。。 (sweat)Wandance is starting to pass Skip-Beat! by as the manga I'm following concurrently to its U。S。 release and most look forward to reading。 Maybe it's just novelty, since we're almost to 50 volumes of SB, and only four of this one。 :) 。。。more

Kabo and Wanda hit the park after the school bans practice outside of club time。 Kabo is lured to the world of breakdancing by the enigmatic Kabeya, who has history with Iori。 But Iori is facing his own crisis, as his disdain for club is up against On’s notion that he’s the best choice to take it over。A good, but not great, volume for this exploration of dance hall days (Wang Chung is still cool, right?)。 The pieces are almost all there, but something keeps it from cohering into the dynamite pac Kabo and Wanda hit the park after the school bans practice outside of club time。 Kabo is lured to the world of breakdancing by the enigmatic Kabeya, who has history with Iori。 But Iori is facing his own crisis, as his disdain for club is up against On’s notion that he’s the best choice to take it over。A good, but not great, volume for this exploration of dance hall days (Wang Chung is still cool, right?)。 The pieces are almost all there, but something keeps it from cohering into the dynamite package we’ve been gifted with in all the previous volumes。It’s not bad and I’m not mad at it, but there’s a lot of prep work here before the next competition and it doesn’t necessarily use that time in the most effective ways, to my mind。 There’s a way to fill that time and it only works well at certain times here。Some of the storytelling just gets a bit wonky。 Kabeya gets a very cool intro and he clearly knows his stuff, but his past with Iori could be better explained。 Things are shown and things are said, but they don’t quite link together in my head in a way I would call logical。 I get the gist, but I want the nuances。Kabo struggles with his stutter still and I loved the addition of a simple aid that helps him to communicate just a little bit better。 It becomes a plot point later, but I wish it had had a little more time before that happened since it’s kind of a great idea that I wasn’t aware existed。The dancing is still good, that remains the bedrock that we’re building on。 Wanda stays a little more enigmatic than I would necessarily love - she does veer a little close to manic pixie dream girl sometimes。 It was nice to see that she and Kabo share the exact same anxiety about one another though。I thought the start of this dance competition was really going for something surprising, but instead decides to pull the reset lever as quick as it can。 It’s not atypical of the usual manga hero journey, but I really thought Kabo could have used more time to learn the lesson about dancing for yourself。Of course, that does lead into next volume proper since it is pretty obvious that the person Kabo might be dancing for isn’t necessarily himself and, when Wanda disappears, his confidence seems to vacate him as well。The MVP of this volume is actually On, who is like the uber-senpai of senpais and deserves an award for making her explanations actually interesting。 This series is one of the best for explaining how anything works because it does it so kinetically。I mean, the art doesn’t hurt。 They make popping look like a seismic event that should register on the Richter scale and that exaggeration is why the dance scenes continue to impress still。 It has fanservice that doesn’t feel egregious and seems like a means of expression and aiding the dancing and doesn’t linger。 That’s a really nice touch。There’s certainly a lot to like here - Iori coming into his own and realizing that he can lead a dance club while not fundamentally changing his nature is a great pivot for him and, like most of these characters, he just needs some confidence。Like I said at the start, the ingredients are all here, but there’s a spice or a binding agent or something from that metaphor that just keeps it back a bit。 It’s doing good, but I want great from a series that’s been this stunning in the past。4 stars - good dancing searching for a bit more in terms of the plotting。 Ironically, I think the rush to get to the next dance battle, the thing it truly excels at, might have damaged it more than just giving these plots a little more time to breathe。 。。。more

At this point I've kind of settled that this series isn't working for me。 I find it difficult to visualise the dancing even though there's a lot of motion in the panels, and the art style just isn't working for me。 I do feel like I would enjoy this more as an anime, but as a manga series where we can't hear the beat and see the moves unfold it just doesn't hold as much appeal for me。 Couple that with characters I just don't feel all too strongly about and I'm not sure I want to continue on with At this point I've kind of settled that this series isn't working for me。 I find it difficult to visualise the dancing even though there's a lot of motion in the panels, and the art style just isn't working for me。 I do feel like I would enjoy this more as an anime, but as a manga series where we can't hear the beat and see the moves unfold it just doesn't hold as much appeal for me。 Couple that with characters I just don't feel all too strongly about and I'm not sure I want to continue on with this。 。。。more
