Welcome to the Ballroom, Vol. 4 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next five chapters (12–16) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon concludes the Tenpei Cup, after the Solo Waltz, there was the Tango, and finally the Quickstep. Unfortunately, while making the finals, Tatara Fujita didn't have the stamina to continue much further and his ballroom dancing suffered slightly because of that. Of the seven finalists, Tatara Fujita and Mako Akagi came in seventh, while Gaju Akagi and Shizuku Hanaoka came first.
At first, Tatara Fujita felt bad for failing Mako Akagi, but there was one final trophy left – The Ballroom Queen Trophy is given to the partner who radiated the most on the dance floor, which Mako Akagi won, thanks mainly to the unconventional Solo Waltz they done, where Tatara Fujita made Mako Akagi the star of that dance and not himself. Winning two trophies, Tatara Fujita won the bet and Gaju Akagi and Mako Akagi return to being dancing partners.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Tomo Takeuchi. Besides covering the rest of the Tenpei Cup, the narrative focuses on the back stories of the partnership of Gaju Akagi and Mako Akagi and Shizuku Hanaoka and Kiyoharu Hyōdō, which gives definition to their characters. With back stories given to Gaju Akagi and Mako Akagi, his sister, it gives promise that we will see them again – hopefully soon.
All in all, Welcome to the Ballroom, Vol. 4 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

کاورهای زیبا، آرت زیبا بلافاصله بعد از آرت سرطانی ایسایاما حتی لذت بخشتر هم هست.
صادقانه حتی با اینکه قبلا انیمه رو دیدم باز هم شوکه شدم که آخر شدن. و احساسات تاتارا واقعا برام قابل درک و ملموس بود. هرچند درست نفهمیدم بالاخره جدا شدن یا نه البته. موقعیت پیچیدهای شد.
هر چند صفحه یه بار هم موقعیت برای فن گرلی برای کیوهارو فراهم بود که راضیترم کرد.

Another good volume. The end of the competition. I do love all the dance moments but this time there wasn't enough between the dances. That being said the competition was lovely and I appreciate how Tatara seems to bring out the best dance in everyone. Makes everyone more competitive too. Curious how things work out after the results of this one.

Que intenso estuvo este tomo!
Me encanta que tenga tantos detalles y explicaciones para los que somos ignorantes en el tema ♥

I finished this in one sitting, in a few hours. The competition was very intense!!!! Mako and Tatara were really good!!!! The art style, one of the most detailed and intricate that I've seen so far!!!! Loved it!! One of my favourite series! 4 stars!

(me, already in figurative tears: rivals!!! they're rivals!!!)
Shizuku remembering: "It was his highest praise. I'll practice as much as I need, to preserve that."
(me, already turning incoherent: TH E Y!!!!)
also I can't believe I achieved my goodreads challenge with this manga. surprised but not disappointed

Questo quarto volume l'ho trovato un po' ripetitivo, praticamente ballano dall'inizio alla fine e la mancanza della musica inizia a farsi sentire. Sicuramente una serie più adatta ad essere adattata per l'animazione. Mi è piaciuto il finale, il resto abbastanza noioso

A solid conclusion to the Tenpei Cup competition.
February 14, 2016
This volume continues on the battle/competition at Tenpei Cup. Lots of dancing, drama and emotion, and even more dislike for 2 characters. Mako and Fujita are great character, doing their best, fighting their way through this competition and being awesome, even though Fujita's skill is way way lower than most of the people in the competition.
The main focus of the manga is of course between Gaju and Fujita, they are still having this battle, and boy oh boy, did I dislike Gaju. Fujita remains pretty civil and kind, but Gaju is just being dick who is afraid to lose face and lose this competition. He doesn't see what is in front of him, doesn't care about his partner. The only way he thinks of her is as some kind of trophy, and sorry, that is just pathetic. Sure, they were good, but I don't get how they
Gaju makes remarks, he smirks all the time, acts like he is some kind of god, it is just ridiculous. And I hate how he treats his sister. She deserves better, I really don't get why she is so clingy towards him.
And what he said near the end? Nice going there, really showing that you can handle something like that. NOT.
Shizuku? Bleh, bleh and bleh. I am really starting to dislike her: I am epic and everyone should bow before me-attitude. Sure girl, you are a good dancer, but you have a lot to learn. That last part? It just didn't feel professional.
The dances were fun to see, though with the art at times I was wondering how bodies can make such movements or be so distorted that it looks bad. I loved that we also saw the reactions of the audience, the judges and other people. That just gave the story something extra, and made us see how the couples were doing.
The manga also showed us a bit of backstory on the Akagi siblings and I love that this was added to the volume, it gave more depth to the story, especially made me care more for Mako. Wow, that girl is awesome, and I can see her make it very very far.
Sadly, the art was still pretty bad. It feels rushed, it feels like I am reading a horror manga (bodies out of proportion, seemingly looking all bend and broken and more), and the reasons I really read this manga is for the fact is is about dancing, has a good story with a fair amount of drama, otherwise I would have dropped the manga by now. Since I mostly do that if the art (the most important thing for me in a manga) is this bad.
I can't wait to read the next volume, hopefully I can find it soon. I am quite curious as to how this will continue.
