Hirune Cyan sensei’s bestselling story continues, this is the second volume out of three that she’s planned. I love her drawings, such realistic facial expressions showing emotions through the eyes, and well-toned physique with fluid dance movements.
These two officially became an item by the end of volume one, and volume two is mostly about the pair’s career planning.
That vicious teacher is so persistent, still trying to manipulate the uke to become a professional ballet dancer by promising him direct entry to St Petersburg Ballet after internship, without going to university. He trained up the uke like a puppet since he was a lil boy, and planned for him to follow his footsteps. The teacher gave two tickets to the Swan Lake performance as an attempt to encourage uke and discourage seme...
However the uke’s mom is very understanding and allows the uke to choose his own path, seeing the seme holding uke’s hand she realized the relationship between the two boys. When the mom joined ballet troupe in Europe in her younger days, she became so focused on improving her dance techniques that she lost joy and hurt her body.
The uke wants to perform on stage as he enjoys dancing under the spotlight. He doesn’t want to be told by others what he can achieve and where his limits are. Instead of the classical ballet’s emphasis on tradition and perfection, he actually enjoys contemporary dance’s freedom and personal expression.
The seme is being very understanding, proving the uke plenty of trust and freedom, leaving the career choice all to the uke, while quietly supporting him on the side. Meanwhile, the seme realized that he has a long way to go to become a professional ballet dancer so he trains extra hard to improve his technical skills.
These two are so sweet as they deepen their trust and partnership. They want to dance close to each other and be on stage together in the future. In recent years ballet and contemporary dancers would often perform together in the same show.
The Instagram post of the two’s ballet duet video is getting lots of hits and caught the attention from overseas, NCBC North Coast Ballet California will probably reach out in the next volume? Maybe it will be possible for two men to perform duet on stage?
P.S. the uke told the seme that he gave his first kiss to him!
