I'm only 2 volumes in, but I'm already in love with this series! Cuvie balances the drama between Kanade and Sakura by including a strong female friendship between the former and her BFF Shoko. It doesn't hurt that Cuvie does an amazing job drawing/interpreting ballet for the manga format.
It's a shame that this title isn't a available in English. I hope it gets picked up!

Enter the rival!
Normally I hate that sort of plotline, but in competitive ballet, there will always be that one dancer, the legacy whose parents pushed her way too hard and who now thinks she's ballet royalty. Sakura is that dancer for Kanade, and props to Cuvie for making it clear what's lacking in Sakura's dancing - even before the story spelled it out, I could see that her issue is being too perfect to the point where her dancing could be anyone's; there's nothing that makes it uniquely hers. Of course, that doesn't mean that Kanade necessarily stands a chance against her, although I very much want her to because Sakura is intensely irritating as a person. But even if she fails here, Sakura's mother is an adherent of a very familiar school of dance, the one that ended my cousin's professional career because she didn't have "the body of a prima ballerina" and so would never get to dance lead roles. It's horrible (and why I ultimately studied modern dance, which puts a bit less emphasis on that), but it is a real thing and theory.
I want Kanade to succeed not just because she's the heroine and I like her, but for all of the dancers like my cousin.*
*My cousin's doing great now - went to medical school, became a doctor, has five cats with her wife. It was a momentary pain, but no less hurtful at the time.

On a affaire à la première « antagoniste » et on sent que ça travaille Kanade. C’est touchant de voir ses doutes, ses hésitations, mais ce que j’apprécie réellement c’est qu’elle garde sa positivité et sa combativité, j’adore Kanade <3

Ballet is living art. You can be naturally talented or dedicated but both still need to sacrifice time, energy and friends for the art.

Kanade va participer (avec son amie Shoko) à un concours nationale afin de défier sa rivale : Sakura Kurisu.

(4) J'apprécie vraiment tout le travail de recherche mené autour de ce manga mais surtout le coup de crayon de l'autrice qui doit tout de même se débrouiller pour représenter au mieux les danseuses dans leur art. C'est vraiment en passe de devenir un coup de coeur. Et ces couvertures.....

尷尬的身材比例（角色已經年長了一些，但對我來說有一樣的問題）看久了有比較習慣了（不代表喜歡😂）
這集有熱血的劇情（此熱血非比上次提及的那類熱血 笑死）（被揍死）所以我分數給高一點w

ce tome 2 permet de faire avancer l’histoire. On prend plaisir à voir comment Kanade évolue et se met en difficulté, mais aussi son rapport à la danse qui change, qui fait qu’elle se projette dans le futur. Elle est toujours un personnage agréable à suivre, avec beaucoup de positivité et j’ai apprécié qu’elle réagisse face à Sakura, qui représente ce qu’on n’aime pas voir chez les autres, notamment la méchanceté gratuite et l’envie d’écraser les autres. Le fait de découvrir l’univers des concours de danse est intéressant aussi. Si vous n’avez pas encore découvert cette série, je vous la conseille.

This one was fun leading up to the competition. I was honestly sad it ended right before she goes onto the stage.
