A boy named Kaboku sees a girl named Wanda dance, and suddenly burns with a need to join in. With its thrilling scenes of Japanese hip-hop dance and quirky, charming characters, this is a new, inspirational manga for fans of coming-of-age stories like Blue Period and Your Lie in April. Get up and join the Wandance!

As the dust from the individual and team competitions settle, Kaboku, Wanda, and Iori will have to look back and see how far they’ve come in order to take their dancing to new heights…

Kabeya and Iori set out to finish what they’ve started on the dance floor, and, in the course of their showdown, end up learning more about each other—and themselves—than they ever thought possible. Even after the winner of the battle is decided, though, the night’s not over. There’s still the team contest, and it’s going to take everything—and everyone—Ichirin’s got to face down the competition. Then, after Wanda receives a startling offer that could help launch her dance career, Kaboku finds himself struggling between his awe for her and his jealousy—a feeling he’ll have to cope with lest it threaten their friendship. How did Wanda get where she is, though? And what—or who—pushed her to reach for those heights?
Published in 2015, Coffee's debut was the bouldering manga Kotera-san Climbs. The author's new series about hip-hop dance, Wandance, is now being published in English by Kodansha. It is Coffee's first manga to be translated into English.
