Where To Start The Wave Listen to Me Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Wave Listen to Me anime and wish to continue the story in the manga, you can start at Volume 4, Chapter 30.
The anime adapts some of this chapter, but not all of it.
Do note that this start point is after Episode 11, with the events of Episode 12 having an element from later chapters (the earthquake) but the actual events surrounding that element are quiet different.
What to Expect From The Wave Listen to Me Manga?
While it is not strictly necessary to start the Wave Listen to Me manga from the beginning, it is recommended. Wave Listen to Me is a story fully dependent on its characters, their characterization, and their relationships to each other. The anime skips and changes so much that reading the manga definitely changes how you view certain characters in the story.
The major issue with the Wave Listen to Me anime is that it re-arranges events, which normally wouldn’t be such a huge deal, but they also skip a lot of the smaller moments that lend to how the characters develop and how their relationships develop in those moments too. In this particular story, those are actually extremely important.
The anime also cuts out a number of sub-plots and stories, so there is definitely enough new content in the manga to make re-reading events feel quite fresh.
Is The Wave Listen to Me Manga Over?
The Wave Listen to Me manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2014, it usually releases a volume per year.
Will There Be A Wave Listen to Me Season 2?
There has been no official announcement of a Wave Listen to Me Season 2 anime.
