Wandance, Volume 1 by Coffee
4.0
3.5 stars, rounded up.
This is a manga about a young boy with a stutter, Kabo, who joins a dance club after observing his beautiful (and very quirky) classmate, Wanda, dancing in the school grounds. I found the art style a bit difficult to get into, with the faces being drawn in a very unique style (this isn't a bad thing, it just takes a minute to adjust!). I found the drawings of the dance movements very clear, though I stuggled to conceptualise them as an actual dance. The characters are likeable and I found me rooting for Kabo to find a hobby and explore that side of him, and learn to live with his stutter too!
Overall quite a nice start to a dance manga, so if you're looking for that kind of thing this'll be great. I personally don't think I'll continue with the series because I struggle with sports/dance in 2D and conceptualising it into 3D, but this could become a great anime one day!
I received a complimentary copy of this volume in exchange for an honest review from Kodansha via NetGalley, which I leave voluntarily.
