Amazon Synopsis:

When Hime Makimura was young, her mother told her that she could be like a princess someday. Now that Hime is in middle school, overweight and unpopular, life is a cruel disappointment. Tango Minami is a popular high school boy who hides his job as a ballroom dance instructor to maintain his image. But when Tango's mom urges Tango to take Hime as a student, everything gets turned upside down! Will Tango's classmate find out about his embarrassing job? And will Hime find the self-confidence needed to be like a princess on the ballroom floor?

Review:

This is the conclusion to the series. So we get to see what Tango has been hiding, who his old partner was, and Sumire’s feelings are finally revealed.
While I did like the backstory here, and it made a lot of sense given Tango’s stigma of people knowing he dances and Sumire’s feelings for Tango, it was just okay to me. I did like Yusei, though, and was happy with how his feelings for Sumire were realized. He was a sweet guy. And the ending for Tango and Hime was sweet, and I was glad for how they worked out.
But mostly this series was very meh. I didn’t love the characters too much, and Hime’s reactions at the end were a little too over-the-top for me; she ran away too soon. But I did like that Tango didn’t fall for her instantly, at least. I don’t know. It was just okay in the end.
