 The February 2017 issue of Monthly Shounen magazine, which goes on sale on January 6, 2017, will announce that manga Ballroom e Youkoso (Welcome to the Ballroom) will receive an anime adaptation.Synopsis Fujita has drifted through middle school aimlessly, unable to find friends or anything that can hold his attention. Then, one day, he's attacked by a gang and saved by a mysterious man. But this isn't a karate master; it's a ballroom dance instructor! Reluctantly, Fujita takes a few beginner's classes, only to find his inspiration... an entrancing, teenage dance prodigy named Shizuku. It's Fujita's first step into the high-octane world of competitive dance! (Source: Kodansha Comics USA) Ballroom e Youkoso is drawn by Tomo Takuchi and began publishing in Monthly Shonen Magazine in November 2011. Kodansha published eight volumes as of October 2015. The series was nominated for the 6th and 8th Manga Taisho Awards in 2013 and 2015, and placed ninth in the male readers category in 2013 edition of "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" Kodansha Comics USA released the second volume in English in November of this year. PV Note: The video is region-locked; click here for an alternative link. Source: Yaraon Ballroom e Youkoso on MAL |

| I am beyond hyped! I've been telling people all year that I wish this got an anime. And it finally did. O_O Not sure which studio can successfully adapt this though. Maybe Bones, or Production IG. |

| Looks pretty straight ngl. |
 |
| This is gonna be sick af |
| Pretty excited about this! I hope they give it to a good studio. Personally, I think Production IG could make this work but who knows. Still excited as it's one of my favorite manga series from recent years. |
|
| Cool, hope Sesuji wo Pin! gets adapted too. |
 |
| One of the best news to come out this year! I am really looking forward to this because the manga is A+ tier. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Sounds like Yuri on Ice minus the Ice. Question is, is it equally homoerotic or not? :s |
  |
| I've been hearing nothing but praise for this series and it's been on my radar recently. Gonna check this out! |
 |
| Ehh, and I wanted to read the manga, oh well. |
 |
| Very good s2222 I hope you get a good adaptation. |
 |
| Nice! I've been reading the manga for a while now. Hopefully the anime will be able to nail the dance scenes. HaXXspetten said: Sounds like Yuri on Ice minus the Ice. Question is, is it equally homoerotic or not? :s As far as I've read, no. |
| Interesting, Will definitely watch this when it comes out. |
 |
| 2017 just keeps getting better. |

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Oh I started the manga and got bored quickly but maybe it's more entertaining as an anime |
 |
| Oh this looks really interesting, wonder how the ballroom instructor saves him. Hopefully the dancing will be nicely animated. |
| I bought the manga finally when it was released (I'd been waiting so long), and I just LOVE IT. The story, characters, progression of the story is just amazing! I've been hoping this would get an anime adaptation for so long and FINALLY IT HAPPENS BOISSS Man I'm so hyped, thank you for the English release of the manga and thank you for announcing the adaptation of it. 2017 IS GONNA BE LIT |
| I hope the studio in charge of the adaption will do the intense and amazingly drawn dance scenes justice. HaXXspetten said: Question is, is it equally homoerotic or not? :s Nope, not at all. |
| Nice, I had this manga on my list for years and it sure is good to see it getting a show. Wouldn't mind the Yuri on Ice staff for this, btw - their ice skatign choreographies were great and they certainly could do fine work here, too. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| This sounds like something i will really enjoy! |
HaXXspetten said: Sounds like Yuri on Ice minus the Ice. Question is, is it equally homoerotic or not? :s You could probably tell from my excitement. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Meh, I think I'll wait for opinions on the adaption. If it's bad, I'll read the manga as planned. |
 |

| They had to do it before Sesuji wo Pin |
 |
Hamazura said: They had to do it before Sesuji wo Pin I wouldn't mind if that gets an anime either someday. |
|
| I hope it's Studio Bones that animates this, I think Production I.G and Mappa are to busy |
| Sup... |
| at least is not another fujobait anime i may give it a try ( for the romance) even that im not in sport anime |

|
| I was planning to read this. Guess I'll just wait for the anime :0 why must I be lazy like this |
 |
| Hopefully the animation will be consistent, it wasn't in Yuri on Ice. |
 |
| I heard a shitload of great things about this, i'm excited. |
| they better get decent staff on this... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Personally, think the manga is amazing - really hope the anime is able to do it justice and even surpass it! |
 |
| Awesome news, this is one of my favorite on-going series. The mangaka is also back in action :) |
 |
| An interesting premise to say the least. Looking forward to it . |
 |
| I love stuff like this. |
 |
| I'm so so happy! I love the manga but I've been wanting to see the dances animated so badly and now it will finally happen! :D |
| Heh? Ballroom? Just how boring could this be? Well, good for the manga readers I guess. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| BONES or MAPPA.. but I really do hope it will be BONES with Matsumoto coz i'm still sad she's not directing kekkai s2.. |
| lol people it's published in a shounen magazine... Shizuku's a girl. Anyway was waiting for this to finish publishing before I read it, but I'm glad its getting an anime - quite surprised about it actually! But hopefully a good studio picks it up. Looking forward to it. :D |
| good! oml yes! some recognition for this beautiful manga |
 |
| I've been waiting for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Please be IG, WIT, Bones, Mappa, Madhouse or JC Staff. Please don't be A1. Super excited about these news, won't be able to relax until I find out who's making it, if it's a1 then my hype is dead. |

Was about to post it here: Staff Director : Yoshimi Itazu Character Design : Takahiro Kishida Screenplay : Kenichi Suemitsu Music : Yuuki Hayashi Studio : Production I.G Really great news. I.G is my favorite studio right now and they're really consistent in their animation quality so this kinda get my hopes up. Plus the music is done by Hayashi Yuuki so this is pretty high up on my radar for the Summer season. |
