Kodansha USA has licensed the Tune In to the Midnight Heart manga series for English print release, summarizing the main plot as follows:
After a challenging day, the haughty yet purehearted rich kid Arisu finds comfort in the voice of a girl his age, who hosted a livestream under the alias “Apollo.” One day, the live streams cease. Arisu devotes the years that follow to uncovering Apollo’s true identity, narrowing it down to a specific high school. He transfers as a student, believing it will be easy—but soon realizes it could be any of the girls in the broadcasting club! And the real Apollo remains silent for her own reasons! These four girls have little interest in Arisu’s personality, but each harbors dreams of pursuing careers through their voices, and they could certainly use his financial support… Can the brash and obnoxious Arisu secure his way into the club’s favor and discover the real girl behind his dream voice?
