10 Dance ch. 43 pt. 2 Sneak Peak!

Inoue wrote a new year's message to her twitter, talking about picking up a cold around the new year that lasted for quite a while and developed into asthma. She now has an inhaler and can sleep better, I hope she's doing well.

In the second tweet she also added a preview panel of the Shinyas! Suzuki looks dangerously seductive with his fingers on Sugiki's face, while Sugiki is saying something with a serious expression. She is also seemingly working on volume 8 now that this chapter has been submitted.

Comic Days puts the release date on 7th of February, although Inoue hasn't confirmed it. But it's soon!

“The truth is, I wanted you to see me win today.”

10 Dance chapter 9 - Love is a wish your heart makes

Recently rereading (there’s never a bad time to revise ;)) and this scene killed me. Sugiki can appear as nonchalant and above-it-all as he likes about his place in the dance industry, but deep down, when he finally whispers the truth to Suzuki, he can't help but want to strive for something more. On the surface he looks so unbothered and puts up this front, yet in this little confession he sounds frustrated and resigned.

The Blackpool arc really expanded on Sugiki's already rich character backstory. Up until now, Suzuki has put him on a pedestal and equating him to the world champion only to discover that it isn't the whole story. I really liked his emotional reaction in chapter 8 compared to everyone else at the table, who are already used to the industry politics and don't necessarily want to change it. Even though it's a little sad, this is also a sweet and intimate moment of Sugiki taking his mask off.

Sugiki Shinya || 10 Dance, vol. 5

This is another volume where Sugiki takes a bit of backseat (literally), but only for the first half. I love the way Inoue drew him saying the "soldier's routines" line in #25 that made him look so powerful and proud. And his pretty eyes glancing up in #26... This volume's style was unmatched.

His fashion sense is unparalleled 😭

10 Dance Vol 2

[10dance]

For "research", I watched some past dramas that Machida Keita and Takeuchi Ryoma were in. And although I'm still quite curious about how Machida will play Sugiki, it makes sense for him to be cast as this character. Machida has been in a lot of elegant gentlemanly roles, while Sugiki was raised to act out the part of the perfect gentleman. It would certainly be interesting to see him portray a character who is, on the surface, like some of his past characters, but then reveal that to be an act and that he isn't who people think he is.

[10dance]

This chapter was nothing but happiness! After so much longing, pining, and angst, it finally paid off for the Shinyas and us readers.

Suzuki looks so happy now that they made their relationship official. He's basically blushing or giving off hearts in every panel of this update, and it's delightful. I love seeing him happy like this :')! And his "mom texts" are so cute, but those texts followed up by a super sexy selfie is a hilarious contrast. The curls are so adorable, Suzuki's sex appeal really maxed out so much that they went off the charts in this chapter, holy cow...

Him being aroused by thinking back to Sugiki's crying from the night before was funny, but I can't really fault him for it when Sugiki looks this cute. His uke energy is radiating in all directions..! The way he wipes his tears and try to regain composure... it just gets me in a certain way that I can't explain. Suzuki has wanted to see him bawl his eyes out ever since the first chapter, and he finally got that satisfaction (although in a different way than he thought).

Sugiki, on the other hand, still doesn't blush very much, but he is also very much in love. He didn't have much of a reaction from Suzuki's selfie which I find baffling because I would've gone crazy. Those curves are insane??? But Suzuki would be happy to know there's a little bit of a blush coming from Sugiki.

It's so cute how they both wanted to spend more time with each other; Suzuki wanted to take him home right then and there, and Sugiki thought he should've asked him to stay. Awwww... I also want Suzuki to take him home immediately, but that would rouse suspicion from Sugiki's school. Still waiting for his mom to find out...

After this, Sugiki also sent Suzuki a selfie from the same angle, but with his usual resting bitch face, hahaha. These two really are polar opposites. My guess is that he had no clue how to respond to such an erotic selfie that this was the best he could do. At least show some skin,,, But Suzuki doesn't mind at all.

This update ended on a scene transition to a dance lesson with Norman, and he also got hotter (somehow) in the last page! I wonder if he allowed Max to stay in his house and drink together (and maybe do more lmao) the previous night. He has given himself a new role of Master but I didn't expect that he'd make Suzuki call him that, haha (does... does Aki need to call him that too??). Even Nino, who once said "I want both Shinyas naked on their hands and knees" is creeped out by this! I'm also really excited to see Suzuki's first session with The Nino Zolche... We first got his background in volume 5 but have never been able to see him dance or teach. I hope the next update will come out next month!

10 Dance - chapter 43, part 1 summary

The day after their reunion, both Shinyas regret that they did not have the chance to spend much time together the night before. Though they communicate through texts and selfies, both are left yearning for something more.

Full summary and highlight images under the cut

Chapter 43, part 1: I Could Have Danced All Night

Published online on December 13th, 2024. Available to purchase on Comic Days, or rent for 10 days on Yanmaga.

The morning after the Shinyas' reunion, Suzuki lies in bed sending good morning texts to Sugiki. He writes that he should be careful and drink plenty of water since it'll be really hot today, and is also going to tell him to wear a short-sleeved shirt, but then questions why he's sending such motherly messages and deletes what he's writing. He thinks some sexier words might have more impact than this. He blushes as he remembers Sugiki's crying face, and decides he'll just send a selfie for now. He suddenly gets an erection, chiding himself since he was trying to avoid thinking like that.

Meanwhile, Sugiki is at his place getting ready for the day, seeing Suzuki’s message come through as he brushes his teeth. The selfie features Suzuki wearing a tank top pulled up to reveal his chest, with a blanket draped over his lower body. He comments that it’s exactly what he’d expect from Suzuki.

While taking the pic, Suzuki wondered if the blanket looked weird, but also figured he shouldn’t send an erect dick pic out of the blue. Both Shinyas recall the previous night, when after their embrace Sugiki soon needed to return to the classroom to teach more lessons. Suzuki thinks about how badly he wanted to take him home right then, while Sugiki wishes he had asked Suzuki to stick around until his lessons were over.

A bit later, as Suzuki steps into Saichi’s car, he receives a stoic selfie back from Sugiki, which he still finds adorable.

He asks if Saichi can take some pictures of him, and makes a flirty pose in the car with his legs spread, tongue sticking out, and winking. Saichi blushes and thinks that this must be the terrifying power of a Latino in love. He tells himself that he’s straight and has a daughter, yet this sight is still making his heart skip a beat. He believes that the one he’s dating now must be Sugiki, as no one else could handle Suzuki like this.

Meanwhile, Sugiki is dancing with Fusako in the classroom. Once they finish, he says that Fusako did great. She blushes and smiles as she looks at him, seeing that he’s brimming with the essence of Suzuki, and thinks that things must have gone well between them.

Suzuki greets Aki at the dance school with a hug and kiss on the cheek, as she looks pleased that he seems happy now. Later, the two head to the other studio for their lessons with Norman. As they approach the door, Suzuki wonders what he should say to Norman to thank him for yesterday. He enters and starts to address him by his name, but Norman insists that he call him “Master” now. He’s holding a tablet where Nino can be seen on a video call. Nino wonders what Norman’s playing at, wanting to be addressed that way, and calls him a pervert.

Hi, I recently found out about this manga through a YouTuber recommendation and I have to say that I love and I'm obsessed with it!!!! Thanks for creating this blog to keep us fans updated. If it's not too much to ask for I wanna know how you found out about this manga? I'm excited to connect with other fans 🥹

So happy to hear you're enjoying this manga! And running this blog has been nothing but fun, thank you for interacting with it.

I found 10 Dance from a list here on tumblr, but I can't find it anymore. I thought the style felt very vintage (it turned out that was just because the scan was low quality lol), and the story was so refreshing with a slow burn and well-written characters. That was the start of the pandemic, so with the right combination of a good manga and a lot of time on my hands, I fell head over heels with this story!

If you'd like to connect with other fans, we have a discord server! We are always excited to talk about the manga (and updates for the movie 👀)

10 Dance chapter 43 Sneak Peak 2

A few days ago, Inoue-sensei posted another preview for the chapter coming next week! She added two draft panels of Sugiki and Suzuki, who has returned to his old "Lovely-chan" mode, looking very seductive and hot. I can't wait to see it!

Under the drawings, Inoue also wrote that terms like "WShinya (Double Shinya)", "dick contact", and "connect balls" (please correct me on that) are all terms made by fans that she has started to use regularly. Does this mean we'll be seeing some explicit content for our Shinyas soon..?

Chapter 43, "I Could've Danced All Night", releases 13/12 at midnight JST.

[10dance]

10 Dance | 3 Mediums

Manga | Suzuki Shinya and Sugiki Shinya

Drama CD | Ono Yuuki and Okitsu Kazuyuki

Live Action | Takeuchi Ryoma and Machida Keita

This may be just me, but I love the Drama CD cast so much. Okitsu-san's voice was exactly how I imagined Sugiki to sound that it was almost scary when I first listened to it. Ono-san took some time to get used to, but he's become my favorite voice actor because I can't unhear Suzuki anymore... It would be amazing to bring them back for an anime someday. The fact that I can even dream about the possibility of an anime is crazy.

I picked two fitting pictures from the actors' recent Instagram feeds! Takeuchi-san's smile is really sweet, I can see hints of Suzuki already. I still feel like Machida's eyes are too big for it to be convincing as Sugiki, and he looks too nice, but he does have an elegant aura to him that is crucial to Sugiki's character.

10 Dance chapter 43 part 1 preview

Following the announcement of the movie, Inoue's teacher also posted two preview pages for the next chapter, coming 12/13! The title is "I Could've Danced All Night", a reference to My Fair Lady. The first page shows the two Shinyas happily talking a walk in the desert, which kind of looks like a photoshoot..? The second image is of Saichi and Suzuki getting into a car with many camera flashes all around. Perhaps there is a small timeskip? And we get a panel of Sugiki and Fusako dancing together. It's been a while.

HEY UNOFFICIALLY-OFFICIAL 10 DANCE TUMBLR ARE WE POPPIN' THE BIGGEST BOTTLES OPEN FOR THE NETFLIX 10 DANCE LIVE ACTION MOVIE OR WHAT 🍾🎊🙌

Hello!! YEEEESSSSS I SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT 😭😭😭 Our Shinyas are gonna become real in 3D!!!! I'm still in a state of shock, I never dreamt that 10 Dance would get an adaptation. Machida Keita playing Sugiki is something I've mused about before but now it's real??

To be 100% honest I would much prefer an anime, but that's not to say that it won't happen in the future..? I have a lot of worries surrounding this movie already, such as how the actors will portray the characters, the dance scenes, how much they can adapt in a movie... And Inoue has already confirmed that it will not be a copy of the manga, so they will definitely take creative liberty with it. Still, I'm very excited to see what they come up with. I have a feeling that the director, Otomo, has a good idea about the themes of 10 Dance, so I am hoping for the best.

I've been running this blog for four years now, and the English-speaking fandom has remained quite small throughout my time in the fandom. But with this movie coming out, it feels like it won't be just a secret little BL that we talk about on here anymore. 10 Dance and Inouesatoh have been underrated for years, and it makes me happy to finally see the recognition it deserves. I'm so excited for more people to get to know this amazing work.

[10dance]

This is not a prank: 10 Dance Live Action Movie Announced!

Yes, you're reading this correctly. I am also having a hard time believing this, but it's real! 10 Dance by Inouesatoh is getting a Netflix Live Action Adaptation in 2025! Directed by Otomo Keishi, the movie will star Takekuchi Ryoma (Yakuza, Kamen Rider Drive) as Suzuki Shinya, and none other than Machida Keita (Cherry Magic, Alice In Borderland) as Sugiki Shinya!! That is all the information we have as of right now.

Director Otomo and Inoue-sensei have given comments about this project as released by Netflix JP. Here are the translations:

Director Otomo: This is a work that strongly questions its creator about the capacity for love. The moment they lay their bodies on top of each other and exchange glances, it is as if something new is born that transcends various borders and has not yet been seen, along with the hidden emotions and passion that lurk behind the gracefulness of the work. I am tackling this challenge with my heart trembling every day. With plenty of Ryoma Takeuchi and Keita Machida's charm. I want to deliver to the world a gorgeous, seductive, and fresh dance film that has never been seen before. Please look forward to it.

Inouesatoh-sensei: When I heard about this film adaptation, I can honestly say that my ratio was “Expectation 10%, Anxiety 90%”. The reason was that I thought it would be impossible to make a film version of “10DANCE” without spending a lot of money, having a good director, and having enough dance talent in the cast. However, when I later heard that Netflix was producing the film, one of my fears disappeared. Furthermore, when it was decided that Director Otomo would be directing the film, I was nervous about the high level of aesthetics that I would receive from the images. Mr. Takeuchi, who played the role of Suzuki, had short hair and a fearless image, but when I saw his smiling face with his hair long, I was happy to see the similarities between him and Suzuki, thinking, “Oh, he's a ‘big brother’ character and he looks friendly. Mr. Machida, who plays Sugiki, has a much gentler and sweeter mask than Sugiki in the original story. The casting of these two actors made sense to me. Of course, it is not possible to make a film exactly like the manga, but I am looking forward to the film with great anticipation, knowing that Director Otomo, Mr. Takeuchi, and Mr. Machida will be able to express the sensuality and joy that lies beyond the sensuality.

With chapter 43 on the horizon and the movie freshly announced, we are expecting a lot more news to be released (and maybe even a vol 8 announcement?). It's quite a lot of good news! If you're new to 10 Dance and would like to discuss, our discord server is always open.

Double Shinyas Birthdays + Sneak Peaks!

Suzuki and Sugiki's birthdays were on the 22nd and 23rd of November respectively, and Inoue and her teacher celebrated by posting some pictures and sketches that may be in the upcoming chapter! The manuscript is confirmed to be completed, and release date has been set as 12/13 on Comic Days.

Two weeks ago, Inoue posted a nude sketch. Of who we still don't know, but I'm so excited to see it! And to celebrate (?) Suzuki and Editor T-naka's birthdays, she posted a bootylicious sketch of Saichi on his knees. Wondering what context is this in..?

As for the actual birthday celebrations, Inoue expanded on her birthday sketches from last year (see them here!), adding more color and details: Suzuki is now holding a bouquet and... Sugiki is holding a ring! Maybe this will be in the vol 8 bonus? (please please PLEASE)

Inoue's teacher also posted pictures of two cakes, one chocolate and one strawberry, and some paw-shaped cake pops as a reference to the leopard Shinyas covers.

'Tis the season for more 10 Dance as we wait for an update in about 3 weeks!

10 Dance chapter 43 preview!

Inoue posted two panels that did not make it to the final version of the next chapter! The first was a roughly drawn Suzuki saying that he'll sync with Sugiki-sensei (while being labelled as being used to unhappiness... give this man a break). The second one is an "uncute" goat plushie with no context at all and it will also not make an appearance, but I think it's pretty cute!

As of right now we don't have a release date for chapter 43 (assumed), but since it seems she is editing it right now, we could expect more sneak peaks soon..?
