Synopsis of Wandance:
Kaboku Kotani is starting high school and plans to do what he's always done: hang out with his friends, stay quiet, and not draw much attention. After all, living with his stutter is hard enough—why make things worse by standing out in a crowd? But then he sees a freshman classmate, Hikari Wanda, dancing as if no one is watching—or as if she doesn't care who's looking. This makes Kaboku wonder: could he achieve that same freedom? To get closer to Wanda, he does something he never thought he was capable of: he joins the dance club. After all, every choreography starts with a single step, right?
Finally, the manga began serialization in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine, Monthly Afternoon, starting in January 2019, with its chapters collected into 12 tankōbon volumes as of April 2024. In North America, the manga is licensed for English-language release by Kodansha USA.
