The tweet reads: ‘Thank you very much to the cast and staff for creating such a wonderful anime. I had planned for the manga and anime to carry on at the same pace after the Tokyo Metropolitan DanceSport Tournament, but due to delays in the manga, the anime will be overtaking it. Although I haven’t written the chapters yet, I have decided what I want it to happen and have let the anime staff know. However, there is the possibility that plans can change, and the developments of the story after the tournament cup may end up differing in the anime and manga. I hope you can enjoy both the manga and the anime adaptation.’
