About this episode
In the world of competitive ballroom dancing, there are two competing styles: standard and latin, but in order to be the best in the world, two Japanese 'kings of ballroom' will have to come together in order to rise to the challenge of 10Dance: a glittering triathlon that would see them compete in both styles! This week, Mat is joined once again by Ida to discuss 10Dance by Inouesatoh. It's the first BL on the show, so after taking some time to discuss what the genra is and isn't, we get into what's so appealing about the book! It's tension, the romance and at times, the artwork! Along the way, we talk BL tropes, the Netflix live action adaptation of the manga, as well as give some recommendations for other books that contain other queer stories that will leave you smiling at the end!Show Notes:---J-Pop Con Info!---BL Descriptors!---Shonen-ai / BL / YaoiBara Fujoshi Yuri / GL---Manga---Our Not So Lonely Planet Travel Guide by Mone SoreiWhat Did You Eat Yesterday? by Fumi YoshinagaBlue Flag by KaitoBoy Meets Maria by PEYOI'm Kinda Chubby and I'm Your Hero by NoreWitch Hat Atelier by Kamome ShirahamaGorgeous Carat by You HiguriLove Hina by Ken AkamatsuGravitation by Maki MurakamiExcel Saga by Koshi RikudoShe Loves To Cook, She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki (podcast episode!)Even Though We're Adults by Takako Shimura---
