Wandance, Vol. 13
KABO AND WANDA FINALLY SEEM BACK IN SYNC AS THE TWO WORK ON THEIR ROUTINE FOR THE SCHOOL FESTIVAL. BUT WHEN A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF TO WANDA, WILL KABO BE LEFT ONSTAGE ALONE?
Kabo keeps working on his routines for the school festival with Wanda and Iori. However, when Wanda gets an irresistible offer, will she prioritize Kabo and their dance for the school festival, or the chance to boost her career? And what will Kabo make of her choice? The festival is a chance for Kabo to perform—and maybe show off—in front of a real audience of his peers, yet it leaves him pondering if that’s really what he wants, and what it means to the heart and soul of his dancing. When Kabo asks himself who he’s dancing for, the answer could change everything...

Wandance continues its run of excellence, cementing its place in my pantheon of ‘give 5 stars, worry about it afterwards’ manga. This volume also just so happens to be the strongest one in a while.
This story hasn’t stood still, but you might be forgiven for thinking it had been inert with the number of developments that show up in this one. The celebration of dance and high school drama mix together like gin and tonic.
Kabo having a shocking sense of fashion is the least surprising thing this volume, as he helps outfit Wanda in classic manga fashion-fashion. This has aspects of a cute date, except this volume is here to stomp feelings into the dirt.
We learn more about what really went down between On and Iori and that rejection and it really lights a fire under Iori. The real story, however, is finally seeing movement on the Kabo and Wanda front. Too bad it’s all backwards.
Kabo finally decides to take his chance and Wanda’s reaction is, to say the least, not what he was expecting. That’s only the first salvo in upending the whole apple cart and sending its contents flying, emotionally speaking.
Wanda gets invited to dance with smug irritant Kenbi, who was a dominant force at the last competition. Along for the ride, however, is Rine, who happens to be Kenbi’s girlfriend. There’s a lot brewing here, as Kenbi gels very well with Wanda and has a lot of respect for her dancing. He even shows a vulnerable side.
Oh, Kabo also gets a new admirer in the form of the very peppy and adorably lovestruck Arisa, a first year who sees him practicing and can’t get her mind off Kabo immediately thereafter.
Arisa’s definitely a no hope rival, but she’s so different from everybody else in this series and her puppy love adulation so hilarious that it’s really hard not to root for her. When she bottles it at a crucial moment, you can’t help but feel bad because it’s just before she winds up like everybody else.
Yes, Kabo and Iori perform together at the school festival and it is mind-blowing for both the reader and the in-book audience. Kabo has been speaking through his dancing and his social status erupts now that it’s being seen.
There’s just nobody doing what Coffee is doing in this space right now for me. The POV shot where Kubo is dancing and the panels are drawn as if looking up at his feet as they hit the floor are stunning and a great twist on the already good dance scenes.
Look at all this gushing for a dance series. But it’s so good! Dynamic movement and interesting characters make for a hell of a palatable combination and the dramatic changes this time are wild, but plausibly so. The last few pages are… well… you’ll know it when you see it.
5 stars - nothing satisfies quite like this series. It isn’t like anything else I read, even other dance-based manga, and it’s all the better for it. A visual powerhouse that is no slouch in the story department either.

Continues to be magic. Particularly liked the progression in this one.
