Coffee’s Wandance manga has been serialized in Monthly Afternoon magazine since January 2019 and currently spans 12 collected volumes, which have a reported 900,000 copies in circulation. Kodansha USA publishes an official English version of the manga and describes the story:
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 to 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?
