"And left and right and meet and-" Vio cut himself off with a grunt of pain as Shadow's toes collided with the top of his foot.
"Shit!" The shade exclaimed, glancing down at Vio's injured foot. "Sorry Vi, that was an accident,"
"I know, I know," Vio said, shaking his head. "And it was an accident the other ten times you did it as well,"
Noticing the hurt look on Shadow's face, Vio quickly moved to correct himself.
"I don't blame you, if my memory serves me right, Link stepped on Zelda's toes many a time when he was learning. But my foot does need a break from your repeated incursions into its non-painful state,"
"Well then," Shadow said, a smirk drawing itself across his face. "Allow me to take a burden off your poor, injured toes,"
Vio yelped in surprise as Shadow moved inhumanly fast to scoop his boyfriend up into his arms in a bridal carry. Muscle memory told Vio to wrap his arms around Shadow's neck and the two of them took a minute to just look at each other, a blush settling over both their cheeks.
"Now, let's see if there's any cakes in the kitchen to steal!" Shadow exclaimed, and Vio's rumbling stomach didn't have the willpower to protest.

"Vio, why is there water falling from the sky?"
Closing the pages of his weekly breathtakingly bad romance novel, Vio glanced up at his boyfriend and the view he was pointing at.
"Oh it's raining," Vio said noncommittally. "That's just when- holy shit it's raining,"
Shadow's head jerked to the side as he heard the rare swear word slip through his boyfriend's lips. Perhaps what was even more uncharacteristic was the ear to ear grin splitting Vio's face.
"Shadow holy shit! It's raining!"
After seeing his startled boyfriend blink at him for seven seconds very much gay with a dumbfounded expression, Vio composed himself and attempted to explain.
"It's rain. That's when water in the ground is absorbed into the sky and then falls from the sky when there is enough of it up there. There hasn't been a lot of rain recently so I'm very glad it has started raining again,"
Shadow's look of confusion lessened slightly. "Okay, huh,"
Vio glanced out the window at the night that had settled over the lost woods and the rain falling down outside it. It was clearly raining, but it didn't look like it was an excessively hard downpour.
That was when a idiotic, or genius, depending on your point of view, occurred to him.
"Shadow, come with me!" Vio exclaimed, grabbing his boyfriend by the hand and dragging him towards the door. Shadow's noise of surprise was completely ignored by Vio, who threw open the door to their cottage and dragged Shadow out into the rain.
"Hey!" Shadow protested. "It's wet out here!"
Vio gave Shadow his best 'no shit' look and re-positioned them so that they were facing each other with their right hand's clasped and Vio's left hand on Shadow's back.
"And left and right and-"
Effortlessly, Vio led Shadow into the dance and Shadow clumsily followed, trying his best to copy Vio's patterns. There, in the cool evening, with rain pouring down around them and making Vio's eyelashes twinkle with diamonds, Shadow forgot his worries and fears and focused only on the sound of his boyfriend's voice.
"-And meet and left and-"
The pair continued to spin through the woods. At some point, Vio's instructions ceased to be necessary and it was only the heartbeat of the two lovers that guided them through their dance. As their rhythm slowed, Vio and Shadow found themselves face to face, and before either of them could think, their lips were meeting in a tender kiss, as soft as the grass that the two of them stood on.
"That was perfect," Vio exhaled, an adoring smile gracing his face as he beamed down at his boyfriend. Shadow met his smile with a smile of his own, and while Vio was still off his guard, scooped him into a bridal carry.
Vio's expression was an adorable combination of surprised and flustered, and his smile only got wider as Shadow carried him into the house for a night of cuddles and hot chocolate.

Phew, I feel like we took so long to get here, the series even changed publications twice in 2021! I’m very excited to see the whole volume as one for the first time and read it again with no breaks. And of course, looking forward to chapter 40 which will be the beginning to volume 8...

Dialogue-Absent Paneling in Manga (ft. 10 Dance by Inoue Satoh)
Manga, a visual art, doesn't require dialogue to communicate with an audience; great manga seem to often employ visuals alone -that is panels without dialogue- to engage the reader.
You get a lot of information, visually, from this chapter cover regarding the two.
The panel above characterizes both Sugiki (right) and Suzuki (left) while offering insight to their relationship.
Sugiki wears a shocked expression. Suzuki's face is full of joy.
Sugiki's dressed in standard ballroom attire. Suzuki enjoys a more relaxed, casual outfit.
Sugiki doesn't appear to be moving within the panel. Movement lines surround Suzuki's arm and leg.
Without knowing context to the chapter cover, or even the story, most observers are able to gain an immediate understanding of what's occurring within panel and what lies "beyond the panel."
The following two panels see a woman, Yagami, watching Sugiki and Suzuki closely. The scene immediately before, Yagami was told that two people could have an entire conversation with just their eyes.
You might have never read this manga, but like Yagami you can clearly tell something's going on between the two. What does it look like the tone of their "conversation" is?
Inoue Satou takes advantage of the fact that most human communication occurs through non-verbals: perfect for a visual medium like manga.
Finally, this panel below lacks any context (even going as far to exclude the rest of its page). You might be unsure what exactly is going on.
You likely pick up on the tension present in the panel.
There's something incredible about the fact that so much information could be extrapolated from an isolated, out of context scene. 10 Dance, of course, isn't an innovator here. Manga has always seen titles that engage audiences through dialogue-absent panels. Mangaka who invite readers to become active participants in the reading process are often those who understand that visuals are the first and foremost method of communicating.

I was intrigued by the artwork and premise of “10Dance” by Inoueysatoh and plunked down the $ to get the available series (7 volumes to date) and after reading all of them went ahead and subscribed to the series. Why? Yes, I mentioned the artwork and outline of the story got my attention, but the emotional thread between the two Shinya (Suzuki and Sugiki) really got touched me. I don’t want to spoil the plot for any potential readers, but the things that draw them together and pull them apart are beautifully told, even in the relatively slim outline/constraints of the format.
