Unfortunately I don't think this is gonna be very good. Though the subject is interesting the execution is poor. There's a lot of telling rather then showing. We're told the dance is good but we're not shown it.

Which is pretty hard considering it's still images but I would've liked a technical frame to frame breakdown on the moves but we don't get that. It just happens, people react and we move on to the next scene. We barely get to see the dances which is what this manawha is about.

We don't even get a symbolic impression of what the dance is evoking. Like what am I supposed to take away from this dance in particular. Now I'm not saying I need stars and flowing cherry blossoms and shit but like they just shuffle around and people are wowed.

Like for the scene where there in their mascot outfit I was expecting them to actually show a dance that would draw in the crowds. Instead, it's just glossed over and we get told they were successful.

Missed opportunity IMO and Mangas like Skip Beat and Glask Mask just do it better, and they're not even about dancing.

Checked it out because of the cover... :sneaky: stayed because of Kim Possible references & likeable main characters.

I will say, I'm not a fan of the beginning chapters but when the dance battles arc are starting, it is just pure hype. (Kinda reminded me of Wandance).

I'm excited to see what the author/artists is able to bring in the future chapters, it's a weak beginning but from chapter 15 onwards it's carrying this series up.

This is amazing and if this were animated it would be even better I like the mc’s and the side characters and this idea is well executed. Pogos job

Well, it's more focused on a cutesy romance story overall than just on the dance, so it's understandable that it's done more poorly in that sense.
Some catch phrases are also omega cliché so what's left of the plot isn't really impressive.

It's still kinda cute :)
It's also quite exciting, that's for sure the strong point of this manhwa.

Here a song to listen to while reading, although I doubt freestylers dance on this, but it could be interesting x)
