Wave, Listen to Me! was adapted into an anime in 2020, which is available to watch on Crunchyroll:

 

Based on the Kodansha Comics manga from Hiroaki Samura, Wave, Listen to Me! tells the story of main character Minare Koda, who is decompressing one night while out drinking in the city. She ends up spilling her love life grievances to a worker from a local radio station, and is shocked when she is working the next day and finds that her rant has been publicized on air!

 

She quickly heads to the radio station to get to the bottom of the situation when she’s tricked into a live interview with the station’s director. But, what’s this? Her rant lands her a job at the station? Set in Hokkaido, Japan, this is where Wave, Listen to Me! takes off, as Minare dives ever deeper into the world of broadcast radio.

 

The Wave, Listen to Me! live-action drama stars Fuka Koshiba as Minare, and premieres April 21 on TV Asahi.
