Manga

[edit]

Welcome to the Ballroom is written and illustrated by Tomo Takeuchi. The manga began in Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Magazine in the December 2011 issue, published on November 5, 2011.[8] The series went on hiatus in February 2016 due to the author's poor health, but returned in the February 2017 issue.[9] The series went on another hiatus for two months from December 2017 due to the author's health,[10] however, did not return during the expected timeframe, and was instead expected to return in April 2018,[11] but due to further health issues, the manga remained on hiatus until further notice.[12] On May 13, 2019, it was announced that Takeuchi was preparing to resume working on the manga,[13] later announcing in the July 2019 issue of Monthly Shōnen Magazine that the series would return on July 5, 2019.[14] In the February 2020 issue of Monthly Shōnen Magazine published on January 6, 2020, it was announced the series would be on an indefinite hiatus due to Takeuchi's continued decline in health.[15] The series later resumed in the August 2020 issue of Monthly Shōnen Magazine published in July 2020,[16] but took a one-month break in the November 2020 issue published in October 2020 due to "establishment of a new system and the replacement of assistants".[17]

In March 2016, Kodansha Comics announced the English language release of the manga.[18]

"Ogasawara Dansu Sutajio e Yōkoso" (小笠原ダンススタジオへようこそ)		July 8, 2017 (2017-07-08)[50]
Tatara Fujita is a third year in middle school student with no plans for his future. As he heads home after being scolded by his teacher about having no future plans, he spots his crush Shizuku Hanaoka walking to a dance studio. Tatara heads towards the studio, but is attacked by bullies. A man on a motorcycle, Kaname Sengoku, walks up to and intimidates them, and forces Tatara to enter the dance studio with him. After finding out that Shizuku was a ballroom dancer, Tatara tries to dance with her but runs away after realising that he was nothing like Shizuku. Tatara returns to the dance studio the next day after viewing a pre-recorded dance competition featuring Kaname, but turns down the offer to join the dance studio due to financial issues. Kaname and Tamaki Tsuburaya decide to allow Tatara to make delayed payments after realising he had the confidence and motivation to become a professional dancer. Kaname decides to teach Tatara the Box, thinking he would pass out after twenty minutes, but Tatara ends up practising the Box for the entire night.
