Production company Asmik Ace opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Coffee’s Wondance (Wandance) manga on Wednesday, revealing a celebratory illustration (pictured) by the creator.

Choreographer RIEHATA, known for her works with BTS and BoA, is credited as the dance producer. The anime series is being produced by Madhouse and Cyclone Graphics for a 2025 premiere.

Coffee began serializing the dance manga in Afternoon magazine in January 2019. Kodansha published the 12th volume on April 23 and will release the 13th volume on August 22.

Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English in July 2021 and released the tenth volume on August 13. The 11th volume is scheduled to go on sale on November 12.

Wondance was recommended by the jury at the 24th and 25th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2021 and 2022. The manga was included in MyAnimeList’s 2023 edition of You Should Read This Manga in the Should Be Anime category.

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! (Source: Kodansha USA)
