Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga in English. Its description follows Kaboku, a boy whose safe but empty routine revolves around expectations about his parents, school and future.

Staying late at school one night, he sees Hikari Wanda dancing alone on concrete and feels drawn to her and hip-hop dance. She belongs to the school’s hip-hop dance club, where nearly everyone is a girl and far more skilled than him.

According to the publisher, Kaboku’s uncertain path offers a first taste of freedom as he struggles to leave his shell. It presents the Japanese hip-hop coming-of-age story, with its distinctive characters, to fans of Blue Period (Burū Piriodo) and Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso).

Coffee launched the manga in Afternoon magazine in 2019 and is simultaneously publishing it in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app.

Kodansha published the 15th compiled volume in December 2025 and will release volume 16 on November 20. Kodansha USA Publishing released the 14th English volume on November 10.

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