Absolutely beautiful and inspirational. It is so rare to find stories like these. An old man going against his society's and his family's bigoted values and started ballet to fulfill a fleeting passion from his youth. His honesty and dedication change everyone around him. Many of us who read manga are young, but filled with no passion. We don't really have goals or dreams and wish to escape to a world of an anime. This manga makes you re-think your life as someone filled with passion has a body that cannot keep up. Please read this story with your heart rather than on a 1- 10 scale of a manga.
