Wave, Listen to Me!

A manga about a young disgruntled woman who ends up becoming a late-night radio talk show host.

We’ve discussed this manga on a recent episode.

If you’re familiar with Hiroaki Samura‘s works like Blade of the Immortal this this manga will shock you with how different it is. We follow foul-mouthed Minare as she’s basically blackmailed into working at a local radio station. The witty dialogue reminds me a little of Gintama. Samura’s dramatic art works great in contrast for hilarious moments between all the characters. I’m cautiously optimistic for this one and I really hope I won’t run any of Samura’s commonly used themes of sexual assault you find in his other stuff.

Great anime adaptation is airing right now and the manga is available from Kodansha Comics.
