Despite the expressive art and moments, especially from Subaru, being a little bit too much some times (a personal taste I guess), I adore this manga. Nice character development, many moments to interpret and have long, deep thoughts about ballet and also ART itself, which I have rarely seen from any contemporary, entertaining work. It doesn't mean the casual readers have to be alienated by this because I believe every single character in here is relatable: dream, envy, career, competition... even Subaru herself, being set with a very special condition for her origin, but still executed well enough for us to wonder every time: wherewill this special, passionate dancer with end up with?

Oh and I forgot to point out again that this is about ballet. Well, I'm not even fond of dancing, or ballet in real life, but I still like Black Swan (the movie). The same for this manga.

The ending is kind of... rushed, for me. There's a sequel so I may try that next time.

First time for reviewing but this is my heart for it.
