Synopsis[]
Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he’s always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not draw too much attention to himself. After all, it’s hard enough to get by with a stutter like his— why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching—or like she doesn’t care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that same freedom? To find his way to Wanda, he does something he never thought he could: He joins the dance club. After all, every routine begins with a single step, right? Join Kaboku and Wanda as they freestyle their way to life and love!

Commentaries[]
Staff's Commantary[]
| When I was asked about the anime adaptation of Wandance, the more I learned about dance, the more I worried about whether it was really possible to express street dance in an anime. Then, I came to a certain idea. What kind of anime would it be if the dancers themselves could draw the dance? And now we are filming the motion capture. Every time I see the passionate dancing of the top dancers, I feel the greatness of the manga Wandance more and more. They are the former Kabo-kun and Wanda-san. It's impossible not to get passionate about dancing. Please look forward to it. | ||
