The World is Dancing (Japanese: ワールド イズ ダンシング, Hepburn: Wārudo Izu Danshingu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuto Mihara. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Morning from March 2021 to October 2022, with its chapters collected in six tankōbon volumes.

Set during the Muromachi period, the story follows Zeami Motokiyo (known in his youth as Oniyasha), a pivotal figure in the development of Noh drama. An anime television series adaptation produced by CygamesPictures is scheduled to premiere in Q3 2026.

Plot

[edit]

The story follows Oniyasha (the childhood name of Zeami) during the 14th century. In an era defined by political instability and social upheaval, Oniyasha struggles to find his own voice within his father Kan'ami's performance troupe. Rather than just following tradition, Oniyasha seeks to capture the "rhythm of the world" through dance. The series explores his journey of artistic awakening, his relationship with the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and the philosophical evolution of Noh theater.
