Dance Till Tomorrow

विवरण

Dance till Tomorrow (Japanese: あさってDANCE, Hepburn: Asatte Dansu, lit. "Day After Tomorrow Dance") is a romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Naoki Yamamoto. It follows the life of Suekichi Terayama, a student who will inherit a fortune when he graduates from college and gets married, and the unexpected complications that arise when he encounters a mysterious girl named Aya Hibino. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits magazine from 1989 to 1990 and later compiled into seven tankōbon volumes. It has also been adapted into two live-action films and a two-episode original video animation (OVA). Dance till Tomorrow was praised for its unconventional approach to the "boy-meets-girl" trope and its realistic and unforced characters. The manga's author, Naoki Yamamoto, aimed to offer an alternative to the cliché happy ending and tearjerker separation often seen in the genre. The character of Aya Hibino was inspired by 1980s idols and was meant to be a femme fatale. Dance till Tomorrow received positive reception for its humor, art style, and character development. Critics described it as a smart, self-aware, and enjoyable manga that combines elements of comedy, money, sex, and power.
