Indonesian publisher M&C! announced on Thursday that it has licensed Wakoh Honna's The Voice of Your Heart (Fureru to Kikoeru) romance drama manga.
The manga centers on high school basketball player Sō, whose uneventful daily life is dramatically changed one day when he discovers he can read other people's thoughts and feelings when he touches them. Through this, he is crushed to discover that his crush Mio is in love with his best friend Takumi. He begins to be mentally stressed just from reading other people's thoughts. A strange new transfer student named Satori approaches Sō and tells him the truth: Satori infected Sō with his curse accidentally because she began falling love with him. Satori explains to Sō that he can be rid of the curse if he is able to win Mio's love, and force Satori to completely give up on her crush on Sō.
Honna launched the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in December 2015, and ended it in October 2016. Shogakukan published four compiled book volumes for the manga.
Honna's Nozoki Ana manga inspired an original video anime that shipped on DVD with the 13th and final manga volume in February 2013, and then shipped on a standalone Blu-ray Disc release in May 2013. The manga also inspired a 2014 live-action film adaptation directed by Ataru Ueda and Kensuke Tsukuda.
Honna launched the Nozo × Kimi spinoff manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in 2011. The limited editions of the manga's fourth, fifth, and sixth compiled book volumes all shipped with OVA episodes adapted from the manga. The manga ended in April 2015.
