It was the day after their victory in the Under 21 Ballroom that we had the pleasure to interview Chong He and Jing Shan (Charles and Sarah). It was e(...)

There was a time when your feet looked normal. You do not remember it.

You have heard this waltz many times. It must be on repeat. When you check the computer, you realize that it has not been played once this practice.

The endless void of the shoe cubby accepts bobby pins, hair ties, and socks as sacrifices. You always buy an extra pack of hair ties when shopping to appease it. You have too many hair ties.

There are rhinestones everywhere--in your pockets, lying in the lining of your bag, embedded in the soles of your shoes, glittering on the dance floor. They can be found everywhere except on your dress. 

Finding fake tan smeared over all of your clothes is a fact of life. There is no such thing as a “white” costume.

The only clothing color in existence is black. Any practicewear that is not black is not practicewear.

 Injury’s Road (a Ballroom e Youkoso mini story)

      »  if you post this anywhere else, please link back to this post!  «

I’m very happy to be able to present one of the mini-comics from the fanbook! This was one doozy of a learning experience, from figuring out scan settings to cleaning to wrapping my brain around translation, so hopefully everything makes sense and is as nice and clean as it can be xD (I did eventually give up on just a few re-draws cause they weren’t really worth it, forgive me LOL) 

(And on that note, do me a favor and go shower your favorite manga’s scanlation group in love and thanks, cause doing scanlation work is both time-consuming and super detail oriented, and they do it continually (monthly, weekly, whatever it is!) just for the sake of sharing, so they deserve all the appreciation!!)

Huge shoutouts and massive thanks to Rin and Daph for doubling up on my mediocre translation skills and therefore allowing me to finally finish this up, you guys are so amazing and generous and I owe you a ton~! 💖💖

this is amazing and I love it.

It also raises several burning questions:

which followers have shoes big enough to fit their leader’s feet?? alternatively, where did they get extra large shoes specifically for this race?

how did this race come to be in the first place? a.k.a. which leaders started getting all competitive and “I bet I can follow better than you in heels”, etc.

Hyoudou and Kugimiya obviously had previous experience with heels...one would like to know why.
