So many media (coughyurionicecough) try to depict flamboyance in men but not any respect for masculinity or male dignity. There is a way to show femininity and gender nonconformity in men that doesn't feel inherently demasculinizing or insulting.

All of this is to say that 10 Dance feeds me so fucking much

Splash page from 10 Dance chapter 25. Three men pose flirtatiously together, one wearing a very sparkly outfit.

Like, it's not JUST a romance manga, it's specifically a dance romance manga. And also it's not JUST a dance romance manga, it's a dance GAY ROMANCE manga.

All those factors deeply effect the narrative. Ballroom is so tied up in gender roles and gender performance, gender & sexuality are literally baked into the rules & traditions. The history of ballroom is largely the history of reinforcing gender expression and straightness.

Number one way to recognize dance stories also count as sports manga: shit like this

#10Dance

Page from the manga 10 Count. "I can hear the rhythm of his breaths.
 Inhale slowly through the nose. Exhale deeply through the mouth.
It's drawing me in.
Huh? My field of vision is...
Everything is...
Being sucked in.
He's taking it!"Next page of 10 Dance. The other dancer has become a cyclone. The narrator is drawn being sucked into his power, tornado-style.
