Series Description: To gain a 450 million yen inheritance, perpetually horny Suekichi Terayama must graduate from college and get a wife and career. Simple? Not when he can't study because he's got a crush on the leader of an avant-garde theater troupe, or has a tempestuous relationship with sexy Aya -- who may or may not be after his money. Add a theater-loving yakuza, Aya's ex-husband, and the pretty young Miyuki to the mix and Suekichi's life seems destined to spin out of control in this heady erotic comedy! In this last volume of the series, Aya and Suekichi's relationship finally rises -- or sinks! -- to a new level. The two take an island vacation, where hijinks with sea creatures and cute young women ensue. Aya's relationship with her senior Sugar Daddy triggers unexpected revelations, and Suekichi's scary yakuza houseguest and his even scarier revolver bring more trouble!
Naoki Yamamoto ( 山本直樹 Yamamoto Naoki) is a male Japanese manga artist. In his early years, he also used a pen name Tou Moriyama (森山 塔?) as well as Mori Touyama (塔山 森?) for his adult-oriented works, but nowadays he no longer uses it.
Yamamoto's final volume brings Dance Till Tomorrow to a satisfying close. While I'm not a huge fan of the Sue character or her clingy not-boyfriend she keeps around, or her part in the story, really; or Suekichi's attitude and detrimental personality, or Aya's manipulative traits--I still love the characters in the end. Yamamoto ended it with enough realism without it feeling forced or contrived. The characters' flaws got in the way of their happiness for a while, which makes sense considering all the strife between them throughout the series, and for that, it works. Yamamoto's writing is still compelling and amusing, sometimes laugh-out-loud hilarious at times. His visuals are simple; his mastery is in his panel layouts, composition, and adding extensive detail when it's necessary to the mood of each scene. The series is rife with visual brilliance, strong emotion, and relatable conflicts. For all that, I would highly recommend it for anyone who can track down all the volumes.
