Thank you Netgalley for providing me a copy of this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tune in to the midnight heart, the story begins with a shy girl finding her voice through late-night radio and she made an unexpected friend with it aswel. The mmc listens to her late-night radio show until she no longer comes online at midnight.
The mmc makes it his mission to find the girl. At his school there is a group of 4 girls that all wanna do something voice related. He is destined to find out which one of them is the girl ''Apollo'' from the midnight radio show. He develops friendships with all of the 4 girls so he can continue his search for Apollo.
The characters were loveable and the art was pretty in this manga. I really liked how easy it was to tell the girls apart. They did a nice job with that!
I loved this manga and think it is a promising start to a new series. I would definitely pick up the second one if i had the chance.

I enjoyed this first volume. Arisu is someone who found solace in a mysterious blogger. He only knows them by their voice. His encounter with the audio club starts him onto a path to help the various members to achieve their dream and hopefully, for him to find his shining light.
I can't wait to see who is the person and how he continues to help the club.
Thank you NetGalley for the e-Arc and this is my honest opinion.

An incredible romcom along the lines of We Never Learn and Quintessential Quintuplets! Full of action and suspense, I can’t wait to keep reading and find out who Apollo is, and not to mention the art is spectacular.

I did not imagine myself ever DNFing a manga because they are quite easy to read, but alas, this was too cringe. The main protagonist is incredibly annoying - which I guess it's always the case with harem mangas, but this time around I just couldn't stand him at all.

When our main character was younger, he would stay up late listening to a girl's radio show and chatting with her. One night, he confessed his feelings—and just like that, she stopped doing the show. Now, years later, he’s determined to find this mysterious girl. The only clue he has? Her voice.
He thinks he may have found her, but there’s a catch: all the girls in the school’s broadcasting club sound a lot like her. So, he makes it his mission to help each of them succeed in hopes of discovering which one is truly the girl from his past.
This story has a unique and heartfelt premise that blends mystery, romance, and personal growth. It's a fun journey watching him navigate his feelings and support the club—all while chasing the memory of a voice that once meant everything to him.

In this new harem rom-com manga, a lonely, rich kid's heart is stolen away by an angelic voice on a livestream. He only knows her as "Apollo," and he's dedicated himself to finding her... But his own haughty rough edges are his worst enemy! From the creator of Senryu Girl comes a high school farce set against the backdrop of Japanese voice acting, pop music, VTubers, and radio!
At the end of a difficult day, the haughty but purehearted rich kid Arisu found his only solace in the voice of another girl his age, who hosted a livestream under the pseudonym "Apollo." Then, one day, the broadcasts stopped. Arisu has dedicated the years since then to finding Apollo's true identity, and he's narrowed it down to one particular high school. He transfers in as a student and figures it'll be a cinch--but then discovers it could be any of the girls in the broadcasting club! And the real Apollo isn't talking for reasons of her own! These four girls have no use for Arisu's personality, but they each harbor dreams of using their voices to build a career, and they sure could use his money... Can the blunt and blustering Arisu buy his way into the club's good graces, and find the real girl attached to his dream voice?

I found this start to a manga series really cute, but a bit too over the top for me. I like the overall premise with Arisu trying to locate Apollo and found his reminiscing about their conversations really heartfelt, but then his reasoning for wanting to locate her kind of ruins that. His attitude towards life and his place in his family is just a bit much, but I do like the setup so far of his interactions with the girls in the broadcasting club and getting to know who they actually are a good progression and very authentic. It's cute and a bit goofy and I hope as it continues it gets a little deeper into the more heartfelt matter as their relationships develop.

Tune in to the midnight Heart is a light story featuring friendly characters and acceptable art.
Sadly, it feels like a start and little more, it doesn't end up stimulating the interest, even so I think it presents elements that can take advantage of later on.
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced reader's copy.

This feels like it would be better animated, just due to the pacing. I overall enjoy the premise of the story, however our MMC is very all over the place and it tends to feel hard to follow. I wish that we got a tad more information and background on what was going on, and that we focused on one of the girls at a time. This book would be a good "pilot" showing what he was doing and why, while giving us a brief sneak peek to what was going to come.
what i was hoping from this volume was that we would get some back story on our MMC and the group of FMCs and then continue to build on that. Instead i felt a tad whiplashed from the constant change in interactions and where we were in the story.
Id love to see this animated in the same style and humor as a show like Dan Da Dan. I will pick up volume two in hops that this was more of a starter to the story and that we will get better pacing and character development.
Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for he digital ARC for review.

Tune in to The Midnight Heart follows Arisu, a high schooler searching for "Apollo", a mysterious livestreamer from his childhood. With only her voice as a clue to find her, he joins the school broadcasting club and meets four girls - each chasing their own dreams of using their voices professionally and each echoing pieces of the girl he's trying to find.
Harem manga usually isn't my thing, but the premise for this one sounded so interesting I had to pick it up! The artwork is really cute and the story was very entertaining. I appreciated that it avoids the typical fanservice tropes which is rare and refreshing for the genre. What also impressed me was how well the wordplay held up in translation! The puns actually work and were funny which is sometimes hard to achieve when translating Japanese.
Arisu is kind of annoying at first, but it’s clearly intentional because he’s considerate underneath and shows the potential for growth. I loved all of the girls' personalities - they're all unique with unexpected quirks and their own aspirations and values.
I'll definitely check out the next volumes!
~Thank you to Kodansha Comics and NetGalley for the ARC!

This was an interesting book with cool concepts that I have not read yet. I think it was fun and the main character is eccentric. I liked this enough but it just generally doesn't stand out for me in the mix of other mangas with more interesting concerts for me.

Thank you so much for letting me read this manga. This manga is funny but sometimes even a bit over the top.

the plot of the 4 girls all having similar aspirations that go down different paths and a man trying to find which one has kept him company for years is great, but the fan service, the most mansplaining egotistical main character, and the repetition (there's a whole page of lines already mentioned not even a chapter ago) really killed it

I liked the story but couldn't stand the main male character. Some of the interactions were amusing, but I really didn't have fun with this at all.

"Tune In to the Midnight Heart" had an interesting premise but was ultimately a frustrating read. Between an off-putting main character and a messy, unfocused narrative, I just couldn’t find enough to enjoy. I don't see myself re reading it or even recommend it

Okay, I generally enjoyed this story, and I will definitely recommend it to others, but I find the male lead so difficult to enjoy. He's so annoying! I totally get that this is the point of his character, but it makes it really hard to read. If this were an anime, I would leave the room whenever he speaks. BUT since that is clearly the point of the story, I'm crossing my fingers for some character growth over time. I'm looking forward to reading more installments in this series.

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This so far is a wholesome harem manga. It really gives me Quintessential Quintuplets vibes, so if you like that series, you'll def like this one too. The art is on point and it was a fun read. I will definitely pick up the next volume when it comes out.

What do you get when you mix a sasaeng with 4 girls working towards voice careers? It's whatever this story was lol.
Ariso was insufferable. He was obnoxious, full of himself, and was making weird choices all for the sake of a girl he's never seen or met.
The girls tolerated him, and I understand this was a harem story, but it would have been so much better if it was just about them and Ariso didn't exist at all.
The art was okay. It was easy to tell the girls apart, but honestly I was just cringing with every page of this I read

Awesome slice of life romance with minimal fan service :D 10/10 read, its light and flows nicely between scenes.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for the opportunity to read and review this manga. This fills the void that Quintessential Quintuplets left behind for me due to the 5 people he works with, and the end he marries someone, and we won't know until the end who he picked. The difference is that they are discussing different aspects of utilizing the voice (as someone who works with people with speech, this interests me a lot), and the guy is potentially more annoying than the other one. I think it's going to be a really interesting story. However, it's one I may binge the anime (that will be coming out soon) first, then read the manga some more. Because of these points, I have to give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
