ABOUT

An action-packed battle manga... with ballroom dance?! Enter the thrilling (no really!) world of Dancesport!

THE LAST DANCE...

It's the final round of the Metropolitan Tournament, and after the dancers take their last steps, all that awaits is judgment. Chinatsu has bet her partnership with Tatara and maybe her entire dancing career on winning the competition. Anything less than first place could mean the end of so much, but Chinatsu and Tatara danced their hearts out and left everything on the floor. Will youthful passion prevail, or will a returning powerhouse reclaim past glory?

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
