Wandance, a Street Dancing Anime, Is in the Works

As a long-time fan of anime and a former participant in street dance competitions myself, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement for Studio Madhouse’s upcoming adaptation of “Wandance“. The manga’s unique blend of Japanese hip-hop dance and coming-of-age storytelling has captivated me since its debut, and I eagerly await the animated version to bring this vibrant world to life.


Throughout the history of anime, there have been some stories with plotlines that seem too incredible to be true. For instance, “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” revolves around a lineage tied together by these supernatural entities called “Stands”. Isekai series often thrust their characters into bizarre and extraordinary situations, while sports anime seamlessly blend athletics with the world of anime. Now, Studio Madhouse is all set to introduce a unique perspective on urban dance culture as Wandance promises to be the first anime depiction of this art form.

Similar to numerous other anime versions, “Wandance” originated from a manga series. Initially penned by an artist called “Coffee”, the manga made its debut in 2019 and has been consistently publishing new chapters ever since. For fans eagerly anticipating the anime version, it’s worth noting that Studio Madhouse was the team behind the first season of “One-Punch Man,” as well as “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” and the original “Trigun”, among many other popular anime adaptations.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about Wandance! If you’re curious about this captivating series that’s paving the way for its upcoming anime adaptation, let me fill you in. Picture this: a boy named Kaboku witnesses a girl named Wanda dance, and he’s instantly ignited with the desire to join her. Combining pulse-pounding Japanese hip-hop dance sequences with endearing, eccentric characters, Wandance is a fresh, motivational manga for enthusiasts of coming-of-age stories, reminiscent of the charm found in Blue Period and Your Lie in April.

The story unfolds as we delve into Kaboku’s life, who has been following the path set by others – his parents, school, future plans. This journey seems routine, secure, yet somehow lacking substance. One evening, Kaboku finds himself at school late and stumbles upon a girl dancing exuberantly, transforming a barren concrete area into an artistic expression. This is Hikari Wanda, a member of the school’s hip-hop dance club. Instantly captivated by her, Kaboku embarks on a journey to break free from his comfort zone. However, this transformation proves challenging as the club members are predominantly girls, and they all seem more skilled than him. The future holds uncertainties, which is frightening, but it also offers Kaboku, for the first time in his life, a taste of liberty.
