This is the first time an Asakura manga has been adapted into an anime.

Junpei Murao was a child who was enthralled with dance, but when his father died in his second year of middle school, he thought that he needed to become more "masculine," and he gave up his dreams. He takes up the martial art of Jeet Kune Do while still having a passion for dance, and quickly becomes famous in his class. Then, one day, a new transfer student called Miyako Godai, whose mother owns a ballet studio, enters Junpei's class. Miyako notices Junpei's interest in dance and encourages him to join her in a ballet class.

The manga was first published in Shogakukan's Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine in 2015 by Asakura (A Perfect Day for Love Letters, Piece of Cake, Drowning Love). On December 28, the manga's 22nd volume was released.
