The stage is Sapporo, Hokkaido. One night, Minare Koda, fresh out of a breakup, drunkenly spills her woes to a random stranger while out drinking. The next day, she hears her ramble played on the radio for everyone to hear. Furious, she storms into the radio station, only to be duped into doing an impromptu talk show live on air by the station director, who turns out to be the random stranger she met last night. Thus, Minare enters the world of radio.Wave, Listen to Me! (Nami yo Kiite Kure) is a manga by Hiroaki Samura, which began serialization in Monthly Afternoon in 2014.

Goal in Life
 Wave, Listen to Me! (Manga) / int_2ffa1e59
comment
Goal in Life: One of the main themes of the manga. Before working in radio, Minare didn't really have much of a goal in life, something lampshaded by Nakahara. Doing her own radio show may be the way for her to find it.

Real Event, Fictional Cause: Volume 6 has a brief snippet of the MRS crew talking about PM Abe's view on removing Article 4 of the Broadcasting Act, which was discussed in 2018, not in 2015 as shown in the manga since the events start in June 2014. Also double as Ripped from the Headlines as Hanawa's trying to take on the big TV networks with his plan for an alternate space via the internet.

comment
Cerebus Rollercoaster: A seemingly normal outing to an abandoned mountain town becomes an action-packed thriller involving a cult that can control people's minds using waves. And then after this arc, what seems to be a lighthearted arc involving getting a shut-in to out of his room and back to society becomes derailed by an earthquake, with all the aftereffects shown in grim detail. Keep in mind that the story was pretty easygoing and episodic before all of this.

Myth Arc
 Wave, Listen to Me! (Manga) / int_ac7cbf8d
comment
Myth Arc: Calling it a myth arc is stretching it, but there's an overarching mystery of who is and what happened to the actress Sissel Komei, as well as what made Mato switch from working in TV to radio. The Wassamu arc has Hanawa kidnapping Minare, Mizuho and Kureko initially to broadcast a program he wanted to do. Minare later overhears them using the local radio stations throughout Hokkaido as improvised LRADs.

comment
Shout-Out: In the opening chapter, we see that Minare's friend recommended her to watch Ghost. She ends up accidentally watching the horror film Death Ship which was renamed Ghost in it's Japanese release. She ultimately loved it yet kept wondering when Demi Moore was going to show up. When Minare gets a flaky fan letter after the School of Wave Wisdom incident, she shouts Blood for the Blood God! since she's pissed at the guy who sent it.note She doxxed the writer's name, Ryoji Kano from Shiraishi.
