The next day, she hears a recording of her pitiful grumbling going live on air. Minare bursts into the station in a fit of rage, only to be tricked by the station director into doing an impromptu talk show explaining her scathing dialogue. With just one recording, the many eccentric aspects of Minare’s life begin to pull in all directions as she sinks deeper and deeper into the world of radio.
Samura launched the manga in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine in July 2014. Kodansha published the manga’s ninth volume in January 2022.
