Tune In to the Midnight Heart Vol. 9 (Kodansha, 2026)

Revelations and feelings abound at the Cultural Festival and tensions between the members of the broadcasting club seem to be at an all-time high! Using the play to express those feelings is creating a dramatic reading like no other, but what's going to happen when it's time for Shinobu, playing the role of the heroine, to kiss the hero, aka, Arisu?! Despite whatever happens with the play reading, Iko and Rikka still need to work on lko's character song, and it's not been quite as smooth sailing as they had hoped. Clashes over creative ideas and competition over Arisu could spell disaster for their future success. Will the girls let their feelings lead them astray or will they find a solution to make their dreams come true?
