Written by Ei Yamano, Someone Hertz began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 42 of 2025 (released September 15) and quickly generated significant buzz. The story follows Mimei, a serious high school boy, and Kurage, his free-spirited classmate, as they slowly grow closer through their shared passion for late-night radio. The narrative is depicted with a pleasant tempo, blending their witty comedic banter with scenes of their laid-back daily lives.
