Gen Satou (Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun) and Sora Amamiya (Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen) are starring as the lead characters Kou Yamori and Nazuna Nanakusa, respectively. Creepy Nuts, a hip-hop unit formed by rapper R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga, will perform the theme song.

Synopsis
Kou Yamori seems like a typical middle school student on the surface. Relatively good at studies and amiable with his classmates, he puts a lot of effort into maintaining this facade. One day, however, he decides to stop pretending and quits school, developing insomnia as a result of having no daytime outlet for his energy. When taking walks alone at night, he feels marginally better, though he is aware that his inability to sleep should be considered a serious problem.

On one such walk, Kou meets a weird girl, Nazuna Nanakusa, who diagnoses the cause of his sleeplessness: despite making changes in his life, he is still holding himself back from experiencing true freedom. She says that he won't be able to sleep unless he is satisfied with how he spends his waking hours. When it appears that she has resolved his current worries, Nazuna invites him back to her apartment to share her futon. After a while, unaware that he is only feigning unconsciousness, she leans over him—and bites his neck! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kotoyama began the supernatural romance manga in Weekly Shounen Sunday in August 2019, a year and four months after concluding Dagashi Kashi in the same magazine. Shogakukan published the eighth volume on July 16. Yofukashi no Uta has a cumulative 1.5 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English last July and shipped the fourth volume on October 12. The fifth volume in is planned for a December 14 release.
