Belly Elliot = Ritoru dansa (Tankobon Hardcover)

The play manages to be both uplifting and poignant. I wonder what influenced the choice to keep the tone so nuanced and layered.

His struggles and triumphs felt so real — I’m curious how others connected with his process of discovering who he truly is.

The environment feels so integral to the story’s mood and themes. I’d love to know if the author drew from personal experiences or research.
