Moreover, popular K-Pop choreographer RIEHATA, who has worked with BTS, NCT, ATEEZ, Red Velvet, and many more groups, is the dance producer. Fans are excited to see how she combines her own vision with the manga’s story to create something mesmerizing.
The Wandance manga by Coffee has been serialised in Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon manga since 2019. The story revolves around Kaboku Kotani, a boy who is just starting high school. His plan is to get along with his friends without drawing too much attention to himself. The reason he wants to stay in the shadows is his stuttering, which can make him a laughingstock for people. But when he sees another first year girl Hikari Wanda dancing like nobody’s watching her, he feels something change within himself. Eager for freedom and for a connection with Wanda, Kotani joins the dance club despite his debilitating anxiety!
