Wave, Listen to Me! Volume 1
by Hiroaki Samura
Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for providing me an advanced reader copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this story had an intriguing concept and I enjoyed Minare's passion. Typically, characters who complain too much irritate me, but Minare definitely has reason to be disgruntled. However, I was disappointed that the story mainly revolved around her job at the curry shop. Many of those scenes were tedious and felt removed from what I was expecting from this title. I also didn't enjoy the romance set-up between Minare and her co-worker who refuses to accept that she's spurned his advances. Attempting to create romantic tension between a clearly uninterested woman and a disrespectful man who won't leave her alone has never been endearing. I'm hoping that part of the plot fizzles out. Overall, I was interested in Minare's budding career as a radio star. I also enjoyed the artwork and probably will continue reading this series in the future.
