Production company NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Masakuni Igarashi's Mayonaka Heart Tune (Tune In to the Midnight Heart) manga and revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and first promo on Friday. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2026.

Igarashi (Senryuu Shoujo) began serializing the romantic comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine in September 2023. Kodansha shipped the seventh volume on January 17 and will release the eighth volume on March 17.

Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English in July 2024 and will release the first volume physically on May 6. It also releases new chapters on the K Manga app. Mayonaka Heart Tune has a cumulative 150,000 copies of its volumes in circulation.

Synopsis
When Arisu Yamabuki was all alone in bed at night, he was able to find solace in the voice of a radio host who went by "Apollo." However, one day, she simply stopped broadcasting without any explanation. Years then passed, and Arisu is now a second-year high-schooler. He makes it his mission to search for Apollo, as there is something he wants to tell her. He doesn't know what she looks like, or even what her real name is, but he manages to get some leads on her in his school's broadcasting club. That's where he meets four girls who all dream to get a job where they can make full use of their voices! Just who is Apollo, and how will those four's dreams pan out? (Source: Kodansha USA)

@RobertBobert
Yeah, it's impressive he has both work being adapted at the same time this year.

Anyway, it's been a long time since I read a harem work, but I find the manga enjoyable. Especially, the MC has raised his harem pretty well.

@MegamiRem I've heard of this manga but never read it. Also, judging by the adaptation of his other title this year, the author is quite hype.

@RobertBobert Yes the manga's well written and not just your typical harem romcom. Ofc it has those elements but it has a unique plot and manages to distinguish itself from the others of it's kind in many ways and has one of the best mc in any kind of romcom stories.

Seems like a very simp heavy anime. I may just have to take a peek. XD

@tragedydesu Not this Yuri fan trashing on harem again...

Mar 14, 3:51 PM by Tropisch

I love it when even just reading the synopsis sounds like a nostalgic comeback.

@MegamiRem Could this really be a new harem hit if done right?

The Art in the Manga is great. Hope it gets a good Adaption like Kaguya-sama Love is War.

One of the best mangas from recent years, specially the MC, literally GOAT. Hoping for stacked cast and good production.

I don't really enjoy harems so I didn't enjoy this manga – the genre as a whole just seems like a lot of wish fulfillment, basic characters, and self-insert potential. With that said, the art was great, and Arisu is fun. It seems to be positively received by most people, though, so I'm glad that this got an anime. Hope it receives a good adaptation: then, I get to watch from the sidelines as the next waifu wars erupt lol

Same author of Senryuu Shoujo who ruined his work by dumb harem/love triangles

not for me, skip

The second-highest ranking harem manga on MAL is getting an anime? Cool. The manga is in the Top 250 on MAL, so this should be good.
