Wandance Gets Stage Play in March 2027

A website opened on Saturday to announce Coffee 's Wandance manga is getting a stage play titled Wandance on Stage from March 19-28 at the MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives Box1000 in Tokyo. THE JET BOY BANGERZ from Exile Tribe member Taki will star as Kaboku.

Imagine Itо̄ will direct and write the script.

The show will hold auditions in fall for ensemble dancers for the show.

Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga and describes the story:

A boy named Kaboku sees a girl named Wanda dance, and suddenly burns with a need to join in. With its thrilling scenes of Japanese hip-hop dance and quirky, charming characters, this is a new, inspirational manga for fans of coming-of-age stories like Blue Period and Your Lie in April . Get up and join the Wandance ! Kaboku has always just gone with the flow, marching in step to the drumbeat of the expectations of those around him: parents, school, plans for the future. It feels predictable, safe, and… empty. But one night, Kaboku's at school late, and he happens on a girl alone, moving wildly, turning a blank space of concrete into a canvas. This is Hikari Wanda, a member of the hip-hop dance club. Kaboku is immediately smitten, but the road to stepping out of his shell is a long one. The club is almost entirely girls, and they're all, well, way better than him. What's ahead is unknown, and that's terrifying, but it also means, for the first time in Kaboku's life… a taste of freedom.

Coffee launched the manga in Afternoon magazine in 2019, and is simultaneously publishing the manga in Kodansha 's Magazine Pocket app. Kodansha published the manga's 15th compiled book volume in December 2025. Kodansha USA Publishing will release the 14th volume in English in November 2026.

A television anime adaptation debuted in Japan in October 2025. Disney+ streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.

A live-action film adaptation will open in Japan on November 27.
