Wandance 15

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!

Between the WORD EXPERIMENTAL Japan DC qualifiers and the future of the Ichirin High dance club, so many unknowns await Kabo and Wanda. And when the dust settles, Kabo will have to ask himself what Wanda means to him, both on and off the dance floor...

The Japan qualifiers of the WORLD EXPERIMENTAL Dance Competition have thrown out a startling twist: the top groups need to submit a new video, and Kabo and Wanda are one of them! What’s more, they only have a week to come up with an entirely new routine. As Kabo racks his brain for a fresh way to show off his skills, he’s not the only one who feels like his back is to the wall. Kenbi and Rine need to submit a new piece, too, and this time, to Kenbi’s chagrin, they’ll have to do it without the help of their extensive team. It’s a head-to-head competition, and only one group can come out on top! Then, Wanda and Kabo finally return to the dance club just in time to vote for the new president. But should they really do that when they’ve missed all of Monme’s lessons? In the midst of the chaos, Monme asks something that’s been haunting Kabo at what feels like every waking moment: what is his and Wanda’s relationship?
