Afternoon serialization “One Dance” will be adapted into a TV anime in 2025! A congratulatory illustration and comment from the original author, Coffee-sensei, has arrived!The manga “One Dance”, which is currently being serialized in Afternoon (Kodansha), will be made into a TV anime in 2025!

To coincide with the announcement, a congratulatory illustration and comment has arrived from the original author, Coffee-sensei.

In addition, official SNS and official websites have been launched, and a campaign to ask Coffee Sensei a question will be held on Official X (Twitter) to commemorate the anime adaptation.

“One Dance” is a coming-of-age manga about a high school student named Kotanikaboku who has a stutter and has trouble expressing his feelings. He is drawn to his classmate Wanda Hikari, who is absorbed in dancing without worrying about what others think, and the two begin to challenge themselves to express themselves through “freestyle” dance, which does not require words.

The TV anime “One Dance” is produced by Madhouse, a major long-established animation studio that has garnered support from anime fans of all generations, and Cyclone Graphics, which specializes in digital animation using VFX and CG. The production will also feature world-renowned dancer RIEHATA, who has also choreographed for numerous famous artists including BTS, as dance producer.

To commemorate the anime adaptation, the original author, Coffee-sensei, has sent in a congratulatory illustration and comment. The illustration features a dynamic shot of the two of them, Hanasaki Kotani and Hikari Wanita, and a stylish design based on yellow, creating a cool finish that is characteristic of “One Dance.”

Manga doesn’t make any sound or move.

Instead, it has another advantage that real dance or music doesn’t have.

That is, “the reader can supplement the movement and sound with their imagination.”

In some cases, this may be more moving than actually watching or listening to it.

In this visualization, some actual movement and sound will be added.

If we try to reproduce the appearance in a realistic and faithful way, I feel that the meaning of visualizing a manga will be lost, so I would be very happy if you could play around with experimentation and improvisation and create images that we never imagined. I hope you

all enjoy it.
