Odoriba ni sukaato ga naru

Haruma Kiki had always envisioned herself gracefully twirling across the dance floor in the elegant, flowing skirts of the feminine role in ballroom dancing. However, as she grew older, her height became an unexpected obstacle, making her feel awkward and out of place in traditionally delicate dresses. By the time she reached her second year of high school, she had resigned herself to mastering the masculine “leader” role instead. Just when she thought her dance journey had settled into a predictable rhythm, her partner abruptly walked away, leaving her stranded.

Enter Toribami Michiru, a petite and strikingly beautiful first-year student who expressed interest in joining the ballroom club. Kiki saw an opportunity and immediately asked Michiru to be her new partner—only to be met with a surprising twist. Michiru revealed she exclusively danced as the leader and, to Kiki’s astonishment, insisted that Kiki take on the feminine role she had once abandoned. The unexpected request left Kiki torn between her past dreams and the reality she had reluctantly accepted.
