“Emma & Capucine, Volume 1” offers a promising introduction to a manga series that thoughtfully examines themes of intense competitive passion and personal development. It adeptly blends the grace of ballet with a grounded and often direct portrayal of the emotional and physical sacrifices necessary to pursue a dream”
