description Wave, Listen to Me! Overview

Restaurant worker Minare Koda has recently been through a bad breakup. Heartbroken and drunk after a night out, she rants about her misery to a complete stranger—Kanetsugu Matou, a radio station director local to Sapporo, Hokkaido. The next day at work, Minare is shocked to hear a recording of herself from the previous night playing over the radio. Flustered, she rushes to the radio station in a frenzy to stop the broadcast.

As she confronts Matou, a chain of events leads to her giving an impromptu talk live on air, explaining her savage drunken speech. With her energetic voice, she delivers a smooth dialogue with no hesitation, which Matou recognizes as raw talent.

help Wave, Listen to Me! FAQ

How does Minare Koda end up hosting a radio show in Wave, Listen to Me!?

Minare drunkenly vents about her breakup to MRS radio director Kanetsugu Matou, who records the conversation. After he broadcasts it, her furious attempt to confront the station becomes an improvised live performance and opens the door to her own late-night program.

Is Wave, Listen to Me! mainly about radio or restaurant work?

Both workplaces matter because Minare continues working at the Voyager soup-curry restaurant while learning broadcasting at MRS. The tension between those jobs gives the series its adult workplace comedy rather than a conventional school-anime setup.

How many episodes does the Wave, Listen to Me! anime have?

Sunrise produced 12 television episodes, which aired in 2020. The anime adapts Hiroaki Samura's manga but does not cover its entire story.

Does Wave, Listen to Me! take place in a real Japanese city?

Yes, it is set around Sapporo in Hokkaido, and local radio and soup curry are integral to its identity. That setting distinguishes Minare's story from the Tokyo-centered media industry depicted in many workplace anime.
