A review by keikoreadsmanga
Wandance, Volume 1 by Coffee
4.0
My gratitude to Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced reading copy of this series in exchange for an honest review.
I loved how seinen manga is evolving these days. I've read a few series that made me look at this manga category in a different light, of course, with an undeniable smile.
Wandance is a story of self-discovery, freedom of self-expression, coming out of comfort zones, and following one's passion, all tied in a delicate rhythm. The art style is kind of odd but it's one of the elements that built its attractiveness. I'm not a fan of dance or idol-thing in general, and I am not once amused in the premise of this story, but to each his own. Nonetheless, Kaboku's character development is really hooking and at most moving. Also, this series actually pretty wholesome no matter what angle I look at it.
This review is actually long overdue. I couldn't find the right time to write this, anyway, now it's here before the English translation release day on June 28! Phew!
