About the Manga Source
Mayonaka Heart Tune springs from the mind of Igarashi Masakuni, who you might know from the charming Senryuu Shoujo. He launched this new romantic comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Magazine back in September 2023.
The story has been a hit, with Kodansha publishing the 11th volume in December 2025. For English-speaking fans, Kodansha USA has licensed the series, with the 5th volume scheduled for release on January 13, 2026. You can also read it digitally on the K Manga app and website.
