YMMV / Straighten Up! Welcome to Shika High's Competitive Dance Club

• Friendly Fandoms: Those who like Shika High tend to also like Welcome to the Ballroom as well due to the subject matter.
• Memetic Mutation: Chapter 71 inspired a minor one on reddit: "MFW I hide a secret technique inside a secret technique"^note Rio's expression at getting the better of Sakimoto and Sara by nullifying their Mega Manning of the Tsucchi-Wata Boost, by revealing there was a 2nd component to the Tsucchi-Wata Boost that they would not be able to copy.
• Tear Jerker: Minori and Kinryuuin's spotlight chapter doubles as a Heartwarming Moment. Kinryuuin, having exerted too much effort during the tournament, is lightly pushed over by Minori and suggests they pull out. She tells him that while she's always loved his confidence that it was with her support he's been able to get as far he has and that she doesn't want him to risk his health for the sake of competition. Kinryuuin agrees but requests they stay on the floor until the end as they perform a simple ballroom dance that wins the hearts of not only the crowd but of the other competitors as well.
• Too Good to Last: The readers who remained with the series up until its last chapter usually remarked that it would have had a fighting chance if it moved to another magazine.
