Angie puts him to bed, vowing to do nothing, but when he returns, Hiro has become somehow seductive in appearance and Angie proclaims himself not mature enough to resist.

That was pretty much the only disappointment I had with The Man of Tango. Too bad Okadaya couldn't have drawn things out. Still I was happy Sublime recused this title and that it got a final version the artist was more happy with.

The translation reads well, even if translations for the Spanish are only provided on the table of contents and there is no translation given for the French song lyrics. (Not where one could remember them, anyway.)

The Years of Solitude song lyrics did stick out to me a little. Though it doesn't seem like an average reader was suppose to comprehend initially anyway. I assume the song is one sung by Milva: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKSSx_VuKg8

But, the lyrics included in the book are a bit of a piecemeal of Années de Solitude. There is sort of a translation in the Años de soledad chapter, but not 100% and I don't know where one of the lines Angie says in relation to the song came from.

Is Latin American dance getting popular in Japan for some reason? This is the second BL manga I read this year that features Latin dancers and it tingles all the right places reading about handsome men romancing in half-Spanish half-dancing. Thanks for this, I didn't even know this existed before the review and I really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately the 30-years-later epilogue you mentioned never made it to the dark side of the internet, which is quite a bummer since the only "epilogue" I found are some pages on spoiler[Hiro's ex and her new bf] which nobody cared about and it does feel sort of incomplete ):
